On July 18, 1976, in Montreal, Canada, at the Twenty-First Olympiad, Nadia cemented her place in gymnastic and Olympic history. She scored the first ever 10.00 with her performance in the Compulsory Exercise on the uneven bars. Nadia posted six more tens to win three gold medals (including the all-around), one silver medal, and a bronze. She became "the most celebrated athlete at the games."
To gymnastics, Nadia leaves the first 10.00 scored in the Olympics, along with the most perfect scores and the IOC Olympic Order. She was awarded the "European Challenge Cup" for her three consecutive European titles, and a host of medals and titles from all around the world. She is the first gymnast to work three elements into one move on the beam, and of course, she is known for the Comaneci Salto and Comaneci dismount. But Nadia's legacy surpasses mere scores and titles.
To a whole generation around the world, she is the little girl who appeared from nowhere to defeat a gymnastics giant. She is the epitome of excellence, drive, and determination. The soul of Romanian gymnastics.
