TL;DR If anyone listened to the entire video and found out what it is we all knew, putting it in the comments would be appreciated. My best guess is that she was actually a dude. Or that the judging was rigged. Or she was secretly working for the American's. Or she is the reincarnation of a stunning and brave women form Borneo but because she'd survived by eating other humans, wanted to keep that secret. Or maybe she's a lesbian. Or maybe there is no secret but she has a book coming out and has to stir up interest. Or maybe her grandfather was a Nazi. Or a Rothschild. Or maybe she's an Eskimo. I wonder how she transformed herself into a black American gymnast and then back into her original self. Does that mean she's a shapeshifter? Or a Dominatrix? So many questions.

I can’t stand Simone biles. She is very overrated because of her tumbling. When it comes to gymnastics there is a lot more to it. Simone biles is not good when it comes to to required dance skills. She should have spent her time taking more ballet and working with her choreographer. Instead she tumbled which is how she got higher scores. Simone is not a team player and a very selfish gymnast. I hope she retires soon so gymnastics can get back to the sport it used to be. For those of you who don’t agree with me take some time and watch gymnastics from the late 1990’s. It’s a much better sport when the gymnasts perfect their whole routine. Biles often can’t properly land her tumbling passes because she is not good enough to perfect them. Olga Korbut is also a bit overrated. She has a huge chip on her shoulder and thinks Nadia beat her because of government coverup. She failed to acknowledge her poor performances.

They live to beat anyone who competes against them in sports, or cards, or just about anything that can be a competition. Nadia appeared to be fiercely independent of Olympic norms in what a person could do or how they would perform before the crowds and how they would let their personality - or one that was really attractive to others, shine through. That is what inspired confidence building in others. They started believing they could express themselves in ways that showed their personality better and win. And so they did.

My mom was a champion in gymnastics and a gym teacher. We watched the Olympics and she was stunned by the performance of Nadia. There was a before and after Nadia in gymnastics.

As a Canadian, saying Nadia mesmerized our country from the time of the Montreal Olympics is an understatement! The world was spellbound.

The word freely is relative. Multiple injuries, some are severe, will hunt and hurt her all her life. And the word free you think it’s only existing in the US? She didn’t have a childhood like every top athletes do miss. And it’s not true at all that they are not recognized by that terrible communist regime. I personally know many top and Olympic athletes from different parts of the Earth including former communist countries. All have or had a home, some of them managed to have a mansion, cars others just dreamed about it and on the top all free. They didn’t have to work at all they were send to other countries as representatives of some bullshit agency. But one thing is true, they were watched closely by their countries also bullshit agencies. Her life was settled by the SU demise, so, she didn’t needed to tell lies after that time about atrocities happened to other Romanians if it happened at all. The terror came from their leader Mr Chauchesku and not from the Soviets. They were pampered like princesses by both the local and the foreign leaders and in the main time they lived like kings. Other prominent sportsman’s couldn’t reach the same height as she did and that is hidden by all the private trainings she did with that pedophile coach of her. Surprised? Don’t be! Almost all are! If they are males than it’s understandable, and if they are females, all of them are lesbians. It’s no wonder that in female sports the managers or coaches are lesbians especially in the US. And that I can’t call freedom, if they have to live their young years in fear of being violated. The problems are far fetched in the US and in the Western world. I’m sure that even she had some happy hours with other team members. It’s disgusting to sexualise sports including childrens but hey it’s a free country as most US citizens are saying and hurrying home to have happy times with their siblings and in worst cases with their mother. If that is freedom in your mind, sorry dude, but we are both on a different pages.

Even though I was well more advanced than what she was doing, I knew her age & it was great that she was still able to perform at that stage in her life. She was very elegant & graceful in her performances during that tour.

Yes, it was, and that particular move was banned afterwards. Considers too extreme and dangerous. Olga Korbut changed the floor exercise back then that still reigns. She changed it from the more beautiful, classic style to one of cutesy moves and and completely different from the prior. Obviously, I prefer the older style. The Korbut style? I hope it goes back or into a new more classical style. I would love to see a gymnast bring it about! I dislike everyone doing that same cute style. It’s boring to me. I like the grace and beauty of the old style. Maybe some gymast(s) will come up with that again. Nadia was the best. I watched those Olympics in 1976 and remember everyone being so excited about and blown away by her. What a jewel she was, sparkling in spite of her serious demeanor. I’ll never forget her.

She and Dorothy Hamill were my two heroes growing up.

I met a Romanian foreign exchange student a few years ago, and when I said Nadia commenicis name , his eyes lit up and he said that she is a national hero in Romania. She deserves it!

At the time it was shocking how young she was. Now it’s the norm. But then, it was regarded as almost not possible for her to succeed against older, more experienced gymnasts. And then she knocked it out of the park. The first “ten” ever. It was unfathomable.

I used to try to imitate Nadia when I was little. I looked up to her! She is so amazing!!!

As in Oklahoma I am so proud that she lives here. I bless her and her family. Keep safe.

Love Nadia Comaneci....truly inspirational.

For us " of a certain age" she will always be an icon we claim in a way.

I enjoyed this presentation on Nadia, very nicely done. I think she and Bart are great examples of Olympians who took the talent and achievements they had as young adults and really made a contribution to the world with it. I'm glad to see her still making contributions to gymnastics in a big way, because with all she went thru as a young adult, she must know what not to do, to keep young athletes from having damaged bodies and souls. Hopefully the gymnastics world will be a healthier place for young athletes thanks to the contributions of her and Bart.

That was informative! I am happy for Nadia.

I remember as a young girl, I watched Nadia, on the balance beam. I went outside to play, climbed into my grandpa's pickup bed, climbed up on the edge of the box, I balanced myself walking the box rim, dipping my feet and waving my arms around pretending I was a gymnast like Nadia. I'm 59 now, never took gymnastics, but have never forgot her, my inspiration!!

Nadia will always be the gold standard for gymnastics.

Not anymore. Women’s gymnastics used to rely heavily on flexibility & moves that only very small women who were practically underweight could perform. Hence, the emphasis on very young girls as participants. Rules changed - I think you have to turn 16 by a certain date to qualify as a potential participant. Also, strength is now the most important ability to possess. That is why Simone Biles is so dominant and why she, and lots of women over 20, are still competing, even in the Olympics.
