And to think she was discovered because the future Romanian Olympic coach happened to be out looking for candidates in a school yard. And he saw her and a friend of hers doing cartwheels. She became the greatest gymnast in the world and her friend went on to become one of the greatest ballerinas in Romania. What are the odds...

@@nogoodnameleft Unbelievable that there are still idiots like you who claim that Simone choked. You try competing in any sport when your brain has decided to not know where the rest of your body is - a condition called the "twisties". A Russian gymnast became a quadraplegic for life a couple decades ago when, 2 weeks before the Olympics, her coach forced her to continue practicing while she was experiencing the same problem. Simone also is the only gymnast in the world that can do a couple of her stunts, and they are so difficult that the judges refuse to award the difficulty points those stunts deserve so that other gymnasts won't try to do them. Simone has 32 Olympic and World medals - 4 Olympic Golds and 19 Golds in the World Championships, and is the most decorated World gymnast ever, all of them earned in a time where the gymnasts have massively advanced the complexity and difficulty of their sport. Actually, the Olympic Gold standard is Russia's Larisa Latynina, with nine, but she has said that she doubts that she would have ever gone into gymnastics if they were as difficult and dangerous then as they are today.

Well her routines are very basic at this point. Young children can execute them extremely well. Gymnastics is so advanced now. We have Simone biles who is arguably the best athlete in the world has ever seen. Nobody can come close to her. But Nadia was my role model. I became a gymnast because of her. Well and Mary Lou Retton. I was a nationally competitive elite level gymnast for 15 years. I did train with Bella for six months in Texas. One of Nadia‘s teammates was one of my coaches. I still choke up from the line in the movie about Nadia when Bella says to her do you believe little girls can fly. Oh my God I’m starting to cry. Gets me every time. Unfortunately the way they changed scoring in gymnastics the war never be another perfect 10. I’m not a fan of that.

NADIA bola charizmatická, veľmi talentovaná a vynikajúca v tvrdej svetovej konkurencii. Pred rozdelením Československa som niekoľko rokov sledovala všetky dostupné gymnastické športové prenosy 😍NADIA was charismatic, very talented and excellent in tough world-class competition. Before the division of Czechoslovakia, I watched all available gymnastic sports broadcasts for several years...

I was volunteer in Athens Olympics. On one of the test events we discussed the "Comaneci's Rule" (I was into the results printing). That is, the scoreboards and printed results should be able to show the minimum and the maximum allowable values, so that the 9,9 + 1.0 could not be repeated

I was on the telephone (my father, living then in Tehran, calling his two sons in Kansas-it cost nearly two dollars a minute to do so in 1976) and watching the TV while Nadia was performing her winning gold medal balance beam routine, broadcast live in those days as it happened. I suppose I could go back and look up the day, the hour, the minute. But it is enough to still be living in the same house, for the time I have left, as I type this.

Nadia's mark of 10 could not be displayed on 1976 monitors as they only allowed 3 digits; they thought nobody would get a 10, so no need for extra digit. By the time of Mary Lou Retton, things were corrected. The 1.00 display happened only in Montreal. In a way that glitch made the event even more special.
