FILE - Algeria ’s Kaylia Nemour competes on the uneven bars to win the silver medal during the apparatus finals at the Artistic Gymnastics World Championships in Antwerp, Belgium, Saturday, Oct. 7, 2023. The 17-year-old athlete, one of the best in the world on uneven bars, was born in France . She grew up here, and still trains here.
The situation is due to a dispute between the French gymnastics federation and Nemour’s club of Avoine Beaumont, which has led the gymnast to embrace her father’s Algerian nationality. The conflict between Nemour — who holds dual citizenship — and the French federation started after Nemour suffered from a bone and cartilage condition and had to undergo surgery on both knees in 2021. The federation thought her problems were the result of overtraining during a time her body was growing up and decided to postpone the moment she would return to competition, despite her surgeon giving a go-ahead.
