    Is Nadia the Greatest of all time, or has Simone Biles surpassed her?
  • Nadia is a popular culture ICON! She's emblazoned in a lot of our childhood memories. Her achievements remain unsurpassed because of the historical and political context. She catapulted to fame without social media and lucrative endorsements, like current champions. Also, the equipment has changed drastically. Today's gymnastics is very acrobatic. Nadia was always very down to earth and authentic. She didn't rely on theatrics or an Instagram post about her relationships, to captivate people. Her gymnastics was fascinating and she was intriguing!

    Nadia was the greatest gymnast for a few years, then other greats came along and excelled in the sport. Nadia had her own style as Simone did. Both superb athletes.
  • Wow ! I remember that name for when I was like 12 yrs old !!
  • @ascosta663
    Nádia a maior ginástica de todos os tempos 😊😊
  • Nadia did way more for this sport than anyone in history. Simone never had her very own theme song. And Nadia was only 14 years old!!!
  • @judithham6038
    Nadia was the very best there was. Then they changed the rules and no one got to challenge Her results. There will never be anyone better.
  • Nadia may have been out of shape and lacked a bit of training at 1978 worlds but she still won a gold and two silver medals.
  • Bad rumors say ..some sports are not a good business 😢😢😢well, what a painful emptiness without them, let's get back that sweet feeling instead. During the Cold War, the Communist regime wanted to care of sports education in schools, it was a good decision, everybody let them kids enjoy sports education because you never know, only training kids surface the big champions, this gorgeous Nadia's story is the prove, athlets are like artists, they have a unique gift, a natural talent out of ordinary that must be exploited. If there's no chance for training, it's a huge loss for everybody.. for all countries and for all schools world wide 😢😢😢
  • This documentary shows us how olympic gymnastics in the late 20th century was essentially a second cold war, with prestige and soft power as the main prize. Károly's defection to the US was very interesting to know about, and I had no clue that Comaneci defected to Hungary before taking asylum in America. Truly, she has lived through a very difficult early life, and she deserves all of the peace and privacy that she wishes for. Her famous olympic scores may have been 10s, but I think she deserves 10+ for her shere strength to continue on throughout very difficult times.
  • This documentary is helping us understand, gymnastic competitions are made for young girls ... from 12 to 16 years old, when they turn 18 they are already big heavy and ..out of shape, the career is over when other athlets just begin to shine, 18 years old. Nadia is a very Romanian kind of creature, such hard worker, discipline is her main nature, the strong sense of duty but patriotism as well, for her pride any sacrifice is worthy, any sacrifice for her people, that's what we call...very hearty ones, their hearts beat only for the pride to belong a certain nation, something all sports champions should feel, having the double speed and motive to break the limits, it's a feeling that becomes a human value beyond any job, later on, it's a great feeling I love a lot and I could never give up on

    I like Nadia, Olga, Ludmilla, and most of the 1960s through early 1980s gymnasts. Gymnastics lost its artistics in the early 1990s to now. I still like the mens gymnastics.
  • On Wikipedia it says she won two gold medals on 1980 Moscow ???
  • the perfect 10 scoring system ended in 2006 now there's a difficulty score and an execution score and the Vaults are averaged so say a Gymnast does a Yurchenko double pike with perfect landing the top score they could get would be 16.4 and a Cheng Difficulty 6.0 with execution out of 9.9
