Snezhana Khristakieva (Bulgarian: Снежана Христакиева) (born 11 March 1977) is a Bulgarian gymnast. She competed at the 1992 Summer Olympics.[1] She has a skill named after her on the uneven bars in the women's Code of Points - a Gienger with full turn, although it is almost universally referred to as a Def (its name in the Men's code of points). It is considered a challenging skill, with the highest difficulty value of G.[2]
