I am, too, Bart was a very cordial individual back in my day. Looks a lot like his father. His mother was a strawberry redhead, and a nervous wreck when Bart competed. Hope they're all doing well these days.

@@PageMarker1 nice ass of nadia in mc donalds cheers from rumania

Are they still together? Bravo 🙌

@@Instant_NerfI'm honestly not sure but I hope so

They are both still very much together. Nadia said they have been together everyday since late 1991 when her friend who took care of her in Montreal died in an accident and she called Bart telling him that he is the only person in the world she trusts so please help her out because she had no idea what to do. They didn't even romantically go out until a year or so later and were officially just friends even though she moved in with him from the beginning haha. You should see the January 1990 Pat Sajak interview where it is the most awkward interview ever because Nadia and her weird "friend/manager/lover" Romanian immigrant married roofer from Florida were both interviewed and Bart sneakily showed up at the last second with roses for Nadia and she looked like the happiest woman on Earth. Bart had a crush on Nadia ever since 1976 and helped her escape from that weird Florida roofer who was abusing her and stole all her money that she made.

Agreed.

At 11, I grew up with the 1976 Summer Games practically in my backyard (the main venue a 4-minute drive away)... and with gymnastics showcased by the darling of the Games herself! Simply among the most incredible gymnasts I've been privileged to enjoy watching!

Just plain grace.

She did all her routines on solid wood beams and hard floors for the floor exercise!

Female bodies change so much. I imagine that could be difficult to navigate.

She was literally half-starved - girls and women aren't supposed to be whisps

Can women who are more muscular (modern gymnast) be more graceful or do their muscles prevent them from doing so? They have some level of grace but nothing like Nadia, Olga, or even Dominique Moceanu

Bravo.Nadia.mult noroc si sanatate anpreuna cu familia ta. Te admiram.si Te pupam Campiona noastra frumoasa.

Smooth is the word 👌

I thought that was a dirty ass with a bug on it

He helped her get out.

Wow! I didn’t know 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️

Foreal are you serious

🥰 Aww

👑Nadia Comaneci👑

Whoever says it’s Simone...incorrect

Sophie Please. Simone is the Queen. Y’all just don’t want to accept it.

Need Olga Korbit in here...

@@Sophie-un3zi you are very correct! There's nobody like Nadia;she's unique! Simone is good, but the best? no!

Nada fue lo maximo soi fanatica

Your a genius let's hope. There's more mixed performances now

@@gordonreed2736 YES, ITS TIME

She was sadly desperate for money in the early 1990s. The Romanian communist govt stole all of her money and the married Florida roofer who helped her escape Romania stole all her money that she made in late 1989 and early 1990. These exhibitions were organized by Bart her future husband because he wanted to help her make money and very quickly. It worked out very well for them because they fell in love as a result. They both are extremely wealthy today and have transformed Oklahoma into one of the largest gymnastics training centers in America.

how so? it's some of the best advertising they could ever have... think of it like this and maybe you'll understand: it's not the athletes they're advertising to, it's the lazy TV watchers all over the globe!

Indeed, it's rather clever.

Lol

@Fireball XL5 yes obviously

What you didn’t know Nadia got that way because of McRibs ?

can you not compare body types? this is stupid. having a strong muscular body is not less or more beautiful…

@@Lindz0928 that It's dumb. You wanna speak about dumb things beauty isn't in the eyes of beholder for one thing but you're not gonna sit there and try to tell me that a buffed ass girl with big old bullshit muscles that looks more like a man than a woman is more prettier than a graceful petite soft looking female soft looking female you know a female that looks like a female supposed to look?

@@thorthelionkingodinson4385 Grace is exuded with confidence and the way you hold yourself. That comes in all shapes and sizes. Additionally, the way one responds to something they disagree with mirrors their level of grace, healthy upbringing, and education. And your response shows you are easily heated.

@@thorthelionkingodinson4385 sexism at its finest. What a good thing that female gymnasts, and women in general, can nowadays be more muscular and thick without giving a shit about your opinion. Even though this type of comment clearly shows there is still a long way to go until all body types are accepted and being “petite and slender” is not the only one categorized as “the way women should look”.

jam really? Then why did you say anything? As a gymnast my opinion doesn't matter.. it has nothing to do with how well she performs. But that's a woman yes it does matter pH that's going to decide who breeds and who doesn't. I'm sorry to say but women with muscles aren't feminine just like feminists don't represent the female because they aren't feminine they care more about he shes than women anyways. Don't you have some thing better to do? Some chick with a dick running a marathon to support?

La mejor entre las mejores. The best atletic

Mary Jane Are you suggesting they had a sexual relationship? Why would you use the term pedo in this case? He’s only 4 years older than Nadia. Pretty harsh assessment on your part, I think.

Mary Jane, she said 'courted' not 'dating' so what is your definition of the over-used word 'literally'? Not so long ago one could court another by just showing attention, giving compliments, being helpful, etc. Before your time I'm sure. Sorry you are disturbed. Not to mention if there was courting it was long distance, since she went back to Romania for many years.

They have a son named dyllen conner

@@lizzie0canada9roxya he just kissed her on the cheek when a photographer asked him to do it for a picture because they both were young gymnasts with gold medals and from that picture people thinks he did it because he liked her when they didn't even knew much about each other really.

What a wonderful memory of her!

I loved Olga not but too! Both women so amazing!! Love that Nadia and Bart got together!!

Nadia and Bart have been living together in Oklahoma since 1991. Thanks to them Oklahoma is now a major training center for U.S. gymnastics.

yep. was scared this would make me cringe. but it's beautiful. and amazing.

At 30 or 31. Was born november 12, 1961.

Right.

Nadia loves all the love, happiness, and peace that Bart, their son, and her simple life in Oklahoma give her. She went through hell in communist Romania. Her mom said that the Romanian dictator's son abused Nadia in all types of ways and that was why Nadia escaped Romania. Then she was abused by the married Florida roofer who helped her to escape Romania. He also stole all her money. Coach Bela Karolyi also abused her badly but I think she doesn't complain about anything publically because all the bad things in her life led her to Bart in the end.

​​@@nogoodnameleft Nadia a scris o carte în care își povestește viața , cu experiențele bune și rele avute. Ceea ce dumneavoastră susțineți este fals!

LOL I know I did, I was 13 in 1976, she was 14 or 15, yeah, I was suddenly interested in the Olympics! ;)

MoMoMyPup10 I've met both of them

Yes

,, c, @@Sylas._

Tú lo has dicho: "Fué" 🖒

Fue y sigue siendo la mejor gimnasta de todos los tiempos

Lejos la mejor, inigualable, talentosa y artística como gimnasta😉 Como ella nadie más en la historia de la gimnasia 😊

@@MelinaAcosta569 🙄 pues si, fué cuando era niña. Y no ha habido nadie que la supere en ningún sentido.

Las gymnast de ahora podrían hacer todo lo que ella hizo con los ojos serenados. Lo dudo mucho que ella pueda hacer lo que hace Simón Biles en estos tiempos!!! Sorry not sorry..🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Thank you for stating that because I actually wanted to know how old she was in this video with her husband that she's with now

31**

Nadia Comaneci é la ginnasta piu' grande di tutti i tempi !

Te iubim 🇹🇩🇹🇩🇹🇩🇹🇩🇹🇩🌹🌹🌹🌹🥰🥰🥰

I think it was the music.

I remembered The cutting edge movie (1992)

chris green Philly Agreed!

Cesarin Augusto It is one of my favourite movies.

No sure what you have been watching since then. You ever here of Shawn Johnson, Mary Lou Renton, and now Simone Biles who is the GOAT. And these are just a few of the best!

Jesús García se nota que no has visto a las soviéticas como Nelly Kim, Elena Davydova, Elena Mukhina, ojalá puedas buscarlas en KZfaq para que puedas apreciar su desempeño.

Las gimnastas de antes tenían algo que las hacía únicas, no sé como explicarlo, pero sus movimientos eran distintos, más bonitos

Her life story is so sad also. I dread to think what would have happened to her if she and Bart never met and eventually become married. I think she would have had a tragic ending otherwise. Bart takes such good care of her and promised her in late 1991 that he will always take care of her when she made the phone call begging him to save her after her friend who was helping her out in Montreal died in an accident.

​@@nogoodnameleft Fals! Povestea ei de viață este un adevărat Imn al triumfului ! Dumneata ești ca pătrunjelul în bucate, cam peste tot! Dai replici tuturor și împrăștii informații care nu corespund realității!

I think you mean graceful. I suspect she is greatfull to get away from that commie country and be here in the US

Fue increíble 👌

is awesome, jamas perdió su talento

De verdad. Me hubiese encantado que se dedicara más a esto. De hecho. debió haber incursionado en la danza. She is very elegant.

Forever is a very long time. She is the best of her time. However, she is much more. Like Jim Thorpe, Babe Ruth, Babe Didrikson, Muhammad Ali, and Michael Jordan, she transcends sports, made history, and inspires millions. And, unlike most other great athletes that are soon replaced by another and forgotten, she will be remembered long after most great athletes of the 20th century have been forgotten.

Super

Tal vez no se olvida pero ya no se puede hacer como se hacía 4o años atrás

duh

This is true. It shows the world that there were and still are some superb athletes from the old world (Europe, Asia,...).

A FOST. O tara care nu i-a oferit nimic

única tengo cuarenta años y siempre admirandola cuando niña jugábamos con mis amigas que éramos Nadia comanechi

I-a oferit salar de la stat si a facut-o foarte populara, in tara, desi mai curand am spune ca si-a facut singura faima, prin munca ei. In orice caz, ia oferit destule, insa ia rapit poate cel mai de pret lucru: libertatea. Era constant sub supravegherea Securitatii. De asta a fugit, asta a spus si la interviu cand a aterizat pe aeroportul J.F.K. Pur si simplu vroia sa fie libera (cu siguranta nu se simtea in largul ei traind asa), ca multi altii din tara. Ea a ajuns mai libera decat multi...Ca ea in toamna anilor 1989 scapase, restul tarii si dupa revolutie tot a mai avut de indurat cate ceva...Mineriade una alta...

PAULO NISHI great, fantastic anda beauty, the best forever...

👌
