She was a cute little girl back then, now she’s grown into a confident and humble beautiful woman..Respect legendary Nadia❤️❤️❤️

I met her once. There’s something very mysterious and enigmatic about this woman: she’s had an incredible life from her fame at an early age to her escape from Romania and her life in the USA since then; and while she absolutely knows what her name means (she’s probably still the most famous gymnast in the world), she’s very humble about it and uses her fame for very good causes. She owns her celebrity but doesn’t brag about it. It’s a mixture of detachment, humility and natural strength. She’s fascinating.

Even in the Philippines when she scored the perfect 10, we all went crazy about her. Everybody knew who she was!!

The perfection of her performance is unmatched. Simone Biles has taken it to a new level, and that’s to be expected as the sport evolves. But Nadia’s ease and her absolute, effortless perfection is, still, unmatched.

When she was a young Romanian gymnast, you could see a cold, hard determination in her eyes - a drive to compete and win, no matter the cost to herself. It's good to see a more relaxed look on her face as a married adult. What an icon!

"I think that I was in a great shape at the right time" Really humble woman

She is a true sports icon, a legend, a legacy. She is just as admired here in India as in Romania or USA. Best wishes to her growing years of life.

Only 14, Nadia Comaneci was not only the 1st ever Gymnast to be awarded a Perfect 10 which was awarded at Montreal Summer Olympics 1976, she also scored a Perfect 40 (40/ 40) in Uneven Bars (Compulsory routines Uneven Bars, Optional routines Uneven Bars, Uneven Bars All Around and Uneven Bars Event). Simply brilliant.

She had absolute control of her body, extremely impressive.

"Nadie como Nadia" or "Nobody like Nadia"that was the slogan on the Mexican press when she got the 10.

One of the famous and humble olympian athlete. I admired her personality.

“You made me feel like I could do anything too if I just worked hard enough” hit me hard. Watching the Olympic Games at 22 with no above-average talents made me feel like I wasted too much of my life to do anything notable. But watching this I was just filled with this sense/knowledge that with hard work and determination I can achieve huge things too :’)

They need to make a movie about her life!! 😆😆

She made all 10's in the Olympics...unbelievable. However the true spirit inside of her is also perfect 10's. To hear her story from her is humbling. She defected but when she was able she returned to help those who also need her help in Romania. She is the definition of a true Olympian.

In my opinion, she is a shining example of the ultimate champion. I see her as the eternal darling of not only gymnastics, but The Olympics, both past, present and future. She possesses the quintessential athleticism, attitude, disposition, personality and temperment to be, as Plato describes in his teachings of the ultimate forms, the ultimate champion. So it's not only her perfect 10.0 performances in the 1976 Olympics that make her great, it is how she has carried herself throughout her life, as a Romanian and an American citizen. Nadia continues to score 10's as an inspirational human being; in how she touches everyone throughout the world and will continue to do so, for years and many generations to come.

What a perfect posture she has, the head, the jaw, the body. She has no head forward issues.

I was watching in the US when the 1.00 came up. Total shock and disbelief that they gave her a 1. Then the "10" was announced and everyone went wild. It was an AMAZING moment.

I was watching when she received the first "10." I was so in awe of her. I wrote to her and she sent me an autographed photo of herself at Disney World!!! I still have it and I will cherish it forever.⭐

I was 16 and we all loved and idolized Olga Korbut and learned elements of her routines. She was phenomenal and legendary and made gymnastics what it is today. And Nadia took it to the next level of perfection and there will never be anyone who compares with either of them. And Nadia grew up to be such a beautiful woman, performer, wife and mother. She is such an inspiration and so sweet and humble with the willpower, focus and determination as a child to achieve the greatest things she can. She is a gift to the world

"It just happened" must be the biggest understatement ever. Complete humility.

I like that Nadia is very no nonsense as she looks back on her gymnastics career. She expected excellence from herself and she trained hard to achieve it. In a phrase, she held herself to a standard of perfection and it showed! Even in her commentary, she communicates with a sense of resolute urgency. There is no denying that she was set apart from all the rest; she possessed a special quality that combined power with poise; it was that executed elegance, that unparalleled (pardon the pun) exactness of movement that attracted us to her artistic magic! She captivated us all!

Imagine winning TWO gold medals AND two silver medals and being like, "I could've done better."

She's a legend...and gives back to her country...SHE'S AMAZING!!!

I just love her. I was 9 years old in 76 and she was my hero 💖💖💖💖💖💖 she still is my hero ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Gymnastics was so much more beautiful back then. I know the tumbling is much more difficult now but I was more impressed with the lines and the physical beauty of the old style.

Nadia Comaneci:Her name will always be synonymous with perfection.

I like that she was not exploited by greedy people when she came to U.S. It’s fate she knew the one guy in America and ended up marrying him. such a beautiful story

I remember watching her receive the Perfect 10 back in '76. Very impressive then and very impressive now. What a lady! The grace and especially the physical smoothness of her performances is still amazing to watch today... and I've seen a lot of gymnasts since then but none compare with the smoothness.

If ever you think of gymnastics you will always think of Nadia. She’s the Bruce Lee for Gymnastics.

I will never forget that day here in the United States.. Watching on TV I had goosebumps and tears in my eyes.. I still get a warm feeling knowing I seen when she did it on live TV...

Nadia is amazing!

This is why she is such a legend, she wasn't in it for the gold medals or the glory, it was just something that she naturally loved to do and had a natural affinity for.

*She takes SEVEN TIMES 😳 A "PERFECT 10" at the Olympics 1976 in Montreal ! At 14 years old !❤ INCREDIBLE ! 😍 A STAR🎆 WAS BORN ! NOBODY WILL BE LIKE SHE! NEVER! 😃*

"Your best at the right time is the definition of a champion" - Nadia

I watched the '76 Olympics with my parents as a kid. Loved her. She was truly mesmerizing. The most graceful gymnast I've ever seen.

The Soviet Union was dissolving and here comes Nadia. I recall a soap opera’s theme song became her song. And every little girl stopped wanting to be a Princess. And their barbies became gymnasts. And without her and Olga and Ludmilla, there would not be the level of competition we see today. A flame was lit and never extinguished.

I love her in general but love her quote “Jump off the beam, Flip off the bars, Follow your dreams and reach for the stars”~NADIA COMMENCI. I always use that when someone asks my fav quote even for school on a quote project we had. I luv gymnastics I’m a gymnast but get hurt to much I fact they think I might have broken my foot so I can’t do gymnastics this year or even for the next 2 years I LOVE U NADIA

I was a small child when Nadia got a perfect 10 and I’ve never forgotten it. I think I was screaming at the TV and as many little girls at the time, I took classes and tried to become a gymnast but wasn’t very good. It is wonderful that she is still so incredibly humble about her accomplishments. Seeing her and Bart Connor end up together was just perfect and gymnastic royalty.

Nadia Comaneci was; still is and always be my inspiration ..

I watched the 1976 Olympics and saw all her routines she is truly gifted

I'm so proud of being romanian because of her, everywhere I go my country is associated to this great woman. I got emotional watching this documentary

considering there were 7 judges and all of them scored Nadia 10, that means she good..i mean really really good

With this mixture of charm, self awareness, dedication and simplicity, I'd give her also a perfect 10 as a human being!

The epitome of talent, grace and humility

"I had two gold medals and two silvers.....and yeah....that's pretty good" Very few people in the world understand the drive someone possesses to have that frame of mind........

I love how she and her husband met! Never seen a cuter couple. I wish her all the best with her life and she really deserved that 10

I think she's just such a beautiful person. I've always admired her immensely. She's so inspiring.

When I think of gymnastics in the Olympics, I always think of Nadia Comaneci. Always will be the best Nadia Comaneci, forever, always a champion. 🤗❤️👏🏻👏🏻❤️❣️❤️❣️🙌🏼❣️❤️

I am the same age as Nadiia. When she won the perfect 10s doing what I wanted to do, I went and did everything I was able to. She is an incredible woman!

Two Gold and two Silver? That's Not pretty good! That's totally awesome!

I wanted to be this woman!!! Every little Romanian girl dreamed of being her....

She’s the most beautiful gymnast inside-out. She’s so humble❤️❤️❤️

What a down to earth person . Humility personified...She should get a Perfect 10 for humility :)

Great story, glad to hear that she used her platform to still make a positive impact in both the US and Romania.

She is the ultimate champion because she is kind and humble human being. She deserved all her wins. She was and is the greatest.

Nadia was so phenomenal, I cry every time that I relive it.

“Did everyone have time to watch?” Typical 14 year old statement out of a pure champion! I think that is so adorable.

I love how Bart Conner talks about the athletes from his gym who have gone to college on scholarships. That, in and of itself, is worth so much more than one Olympian.

Nadia is the legend of gymnastics! What an amazing role model for all the young girls for generations!

I had the biggest crush on Nadia during Montreal. We were the same age and in HS. She was so pretty but focused and humble. And she is the same today. So happy she married a wonderful guy in Bart Conner. Love you, Nadia!

I was 15 years old when I watched Nadia score her first perfect 10. She was absolutely the most graceful athlete I had ever seen. From that point on I was hooked on watching Gymnastics in the Olympics, which lead to watching Ice Skating. She is the only Olympian for which I never forgot her name, and often bragged to others, that I had never have seen a more perfect, more graceful illustration of incredible athleticism.

humble champion

She trained people in my home state, in Oklahoma. They tried recruiting me by age 8. The only reason we didn’t more forward was because I had a single mom and their training costs, despite being the best in the world and totally worth it, wasn’t doable for us. I ended up with a spinal injury anyways and couldn’t progress. It would have been an amazing experience just the same.

Her mind and attitude are perfect 10 too. Plus people do not know her coaches are Hungarians by nationality, that only interesting because these two nations are despising each other until today. If they could just learn from this example they might be able to achieve something together. And I do not mean greatness but something spiritual.

Announcer: "Ladies and gentelmen, the first time in the history of this sport, a perfect 10!" *then the score pop ups* Nadia's teammates: "ahhhhh" *hugging Nadia* Meanwhile Nadia: 👁👄👁 wut?

I glad that Nadia is doing so well. She deserves it; even more so considering that for a dozen plus years from 1977 to 1980 she was treated badly by the Romanian dictator and for a while after she defected. Nadia is a super star. Something about her performances are thrilling to watch more than any other gymnast. They are beautiful; sometimes the give me chills and other times bring tears to my eyes; emotions that are hard to describe. Nadia had success as an elite gymnasts and now she is successful as a wife, businesswoman, mother, and an one of the most outstanding citizens in two countries.

She's not only the most talented gymnast of all time but she's also very beautiful and elegant

She's just so natural and doesn't put on airs at all. She is a very lovely woman.

I didn't know she married my favorite male gymnast. And she looks incredible. ❤❤❤

Elena Mukhina brought me here... RIP Elena you're free from pain now. Be happy on the other side.

Nadia is an inspiration to all..nobody could ever replicate her achievements ❤️👏

I just love of much Bart loves her and how proud he's of her

Some athletes inspire a generation, but Nadia had _and still has_ a positive impact on generations of gymnasts and ordinary people all around the world. So many little girls born in the late 70s, early 80s were named Nadia in her honor. And so many girls started gymnastics after 1976! I am from Montreal and the way she impacted our history is very special and hard to describe unless you lived it. Yes, she achieved something considered completely impossible, but it's so much more than that! It's almost as if she was an athlete from Montreal the way people are proud of her and love her here. I remember meeting her at the Olympic facilities where she received her perfect scores and I was completely amazed at her down-to-earth & humble attitude, gratitude and generosity. She's a true inspiration for everything she has achieved in 1976, but even more for the work she did since then.

This wonderful athlete just stole my heart....Her own clinic for under served children and elders. Such an important gift that goes far beyond her wonderful performances in gymnastics. And so lovely that she and her husband are passing on their talents to other kids...whether their goals are to go to the Olympics, or just learn how to follow direction, have respect for your teachers and co-students, or learn to do a cartwheel. Lovely video, thank you!

When you ARE the "GOAT" and don't have to advertise it. Our athletes, today, could learn something from this humble person.

I remember her performance so well even though it was all those years ago. She stunned me by doing it and she didn't even represent my country. But you could not help but love her!

“2 gold 2 silver, eh pretty good..”. This is when you know that you’re the best.

Nadia is the best of all times,period!

I remember watching her when I was about 10. I fell in love with gymnastics and all I wanted was to be like Nadia. Unfortunately I wasn’t cut out to be a gymnast 😢but I did learn a lot about doing my best and challenging myself. I believe this gave me the determination and strength to succeed in my career and family. I hope Nadia knows what an amazing role model she was not only to me but to so many other girls back in the 70’s and 80’s. ❤

Ur a legend Madam Nadia... you're my ultimate idol in the world of sports..Mabuhay ka👏👏👏

thats the voice and tone of a true champion... humble, confident, graceful.. long live the champions..

I would not recognize her today. She looked like Kiera Knightly when she was in her second Olympics. She was/is an amazing athlete!

She's the greatest of all times! I was always awestruck when I watched her performing during the Olympics. Her landings were her icing on the cake.🎂 She's number one, and a perfect 10.

My aunt met her and Nadia was nice enough to take pictures and sign autographs. Nadia had traveled north to see some of the rowing events. My aunt got to do some of stats for the 84 Olympics.

Her husband needs to be applauded. I don't think it is easy to live a life where you have worked hard enough to be an Olympic medalist but still all you hear about is your wife

I've admired Nadia and Bart for most of my life. They are so awesome.

NADIA NR one 1 in Romania 🇷🇴, esti mandria tarii noastre , campiona noastra alaturi de colegetale pentru Romania 🇷🇴 TE IUBIM ❤️💗❤️💗

She is awesome...grown to a lovely woman, with a great husband and family...cool story ❤️

5:40 nobody gets perfect 10 nadia: hold my beer

Anyone think Nadia and Bart were so cute?

Grace, perfection and a big heart. Nadia is always the icon of artistic gymnastic

Nadia made gymnastics art.... It's just like looking at a wonderful painting... It's like proof there's a divinity

When I was 10, I watched Nadia at the 1976 Olympics. I can only remember seeing her on the uneven bars for some reason. I admired her greatly. The last time I heard something about her was when she was married to a USA gymnast! I had no idea that Nadia Comaneci had started a Children’s Clinic for the poor in Romania! I had never heard most of the good things she has done that I found out about in this video. She strikes me as someone down to earth and even humble, especially given her fame. Thank you for posting this and letting us find out about her life now.

Man, I love her. This is a person that everyone should look up to.

I was 14 watching her in 76. It was very exciting

The steely look of determination has been replaced with a relaxed look of memories and contentment. I like Nadia. I love watching her dare devil routines from 1976

Nadia and Olga can never be dethroned as the most beautifully amazing gymnasts ever

You were meant to fly, Nadia! And you did!! I remember as a young girl I watched you on tv, forgetting to breathe... then the whole family will jump up, screaming with joy! Behind the block of flats where I was living, was a metal frame that people used for beating out the dust out of the carpets... and that was the place I will hang up and down, upside down, imagining for a second that maybe I can do what you did. Even though I couldn't... I loved it, it was so much fun and something to dream off

My mother used to talk about her . She was and is a fan . It is nice to watch this now and know why my mother is a fan of Nadia .

A true definition of true Olympian❤️ whose with me? October 2019..
