Nadia Elena Comaneci

She grabbed international recognition and affection when she gave the world one of the most memorable events in the history of sport - scoring the first-ever perfect ten in asymmetric bars during the Montreal Olympic Games in 1976. In addition her score, she added six more perfect 10s and became the youngest Olympic silver medalist. Nadia Comaneci not only attracted the attention of others, but she also helped Romania establish itself as a world-class athlete. Her achievement of a score that was unattainable made this sports icon famous and popularized gymnastics across all over the world. Also, it changed the way people think about female athletes. The impact she had on the Olympics was so powerful that two of her moves including the toe-on and release have been designated in honor of her. Both are rated as being high-level difficult. She also performed well at World Championships, European Championships, and Olympics. That made her a legend, and she's among the most famous gymnasts in the world. In the US she was able to advertise sports products and model after leaving her native country. Nadia Nadia Nadia Nadia 2 Nadia
