I was 11 when Nadia performed at Montreal and I do have such great memories. I am Romanian born in the City of Bacau, near Onesti from where Nadia is. I am so proud of my famous, incredible compatriot Nadia Comaneci 🇷🇴

I remember her popularity as being like that for Usain Bolt, as in being the most gifted in their sport and expected to win all disciplines that they entered in.

My Name Sake. Nadia’s theme was played at my parents wedding. My mother was looking for a slavic name to match my maiden last name. She opened her wedding guest book and there it was. incase anyone was curious Nadia is a slavic name meaning Hope. Proud to be named after a talented woman.

"Nadia's Theme" is the theme song for " The Young and The Restless". It was a tribute to Nadia.
Player #2896791
Player #2845207, and a lot of older people won't know the answer to some questions regarding newer topics. It all evens out. Be careful when playing this game; you might actually learn something.

I am romanian and Nadia is awsome🤩

The Wise Pecolisimo, Olga Korbut was never "nothing." Most of the moves Olga did on the beam and uneven bars have been banned as being too dangerous for today's little flowers. Olga and Nadia changed gymnastics completely. Olga opened doors, and Nadia blew them off their hinges.
Lionessa
Nadia walked out of Romania all alone in the dark of night. After defecting, she made her way to Austria, and eventually, the US. She is married to Olympic Gold medalist Bart Conner, and teaches gymnastics in Oklahoma.

I was at the Montreal Olympics and saw her score a perfect 10. Phenomenal performance. She threw her bunch of flowers and I caught it.

If my memory serves me right, it was in Montreal 1980 Olympic that iremembered Ms Olga Korbut (former darling of rhe crowd) cried in agony when Nadia won and defeated her in the double bar and got many golds in other events.

utlbit, but drugged and mistreated by the USSR system, more than normal gymnasts. BUT brilliant 👏
Vickie Apel
She is one extremely talented lady and she worked very hard to achieve the success she earned and won. She was the very first household name I had ever heard and watched on TV.
Interitus
Player #19091285, it was actually a 1.00
Tina
I remember watching a movie about her on HBO when I was a kid. I think it focused on an eating disorder and the pressure to be perfect.
Marcella
