Additional information

General
NAMED ELEMENT
In December 2017 'The Derwael/Fenton' was added to the Code of Points for the uneven bars by the International Gymnastics Federation [FIG]. The element was first performed by Fenton and Belgian gymnast Nina Derwael at the 2017 World Championships in Montreal, QC, Canada. (fig-gymnastics.com, 15 Dec 2017)

ARTISTIC STYLE
She believes the imaginative aspect of gymnastics is her strength in the sport. "I am not a powerful gymnast and I need to use the artistic side of the Code of Points to my benefit. I am getting stronger but I know I will never be a powerhouse. I like my gymnastics to look beautiful as artistic gymnastics should." (britishgymnewstics.com, 19 Apr 2016)
