Nadia Comaneci – Gymnastics
At the mere age of 14, Romanian Nadia Comaneci became the first ever gymnast in Olympic history to be awarded the ~perfect score~ of 10.0 at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal. Eventually, she went on to receive six more perfect 10s in Montreal and three gold medals. Four years later, Comaneci won two gold medals at the 1980 Summer Olympics and a total of nine Olympic medals and four World Championship medals during her career. Comăneci is one of the best-known gymnasts in the whole world and is credited with popularizing the sport. Since then, she has become an American citizen, married American Olympic gold medalist Bart Conner, and is also an author.
