Nadia Elena Comaneci is one of the symbols of the 1970s. Romania’s Nadia was the best athlete at the 1976 Montreal Summer Olympic Games. Nadia was 14 years old when she won three Olympic gold medals in Montreal’76. Nadia had also made history when she became the first Olympic gymnast to score a perfect ten points (unven bars). Her distinction was the most important moment in the Games. Anita Verschoth, who is a sportswriter, wrote: “She stunned the judges as well as the crowd not only with double somersaults and twists but also with an uncommon consistency and stability even in her most difficult moves. She displayed an unflappable confidence and more stamina and strength than seemed possible for a body as apparently frail as hers. When the competition was over, everybody was talking about Comaneci. She had put an emphatie end to the classical style, with its emphasis on maturity and ladylike grace”. Four years later, she won 2 gold medals at the 1980 Olympic Games in Moscow (Soviet Union). The following year Nadia won several medals at the1981Summer World University Games in Bucharest. Nadia was born on November 12, 1961 in Onesti, Romania.
