Nadia Elena Comaneci

It was at the Montreal Olympic Games 1976 that she achieved one of the most memorable moment in the history of sports - the score of the very first perfect 10 for the asymmetrical bar. Then she scored another perfect 10 and became the youngest Olympic all-around gold medalist at only fourteen years of age. The accomplishments of Nadia Comaneci have not just attracted attention from all angles but has also assisted Romania to find a spot on the map of international recognition. This sporting legend made her a world-wide sensation after she came up with an unbeatable performance. She created a legend and helped to popularize gymnastics around the globe. Additionally, it altered perception of women athletes by the public. Her impact on the Olympics was so great that her two movements, the toe-on move and the release movement, are named in her honor. Both are rated as high-level difficulty. In addition to the Olympics she also was an athlete in the World Championships and European Championships. Her performances made her one of the greatest gymnasts ever. Also, she modelled and promoted sports gear after making the move into the US. Nadia Nadia Nadia Nadia 2 Nadia
