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...
Back in my gynast days of the 70's ... I prefer to do continuous cartwheels instead of walking. I had so much energy back then. Great times! :-)

If anyone was wondering, she now resides in the United States in Oklahoma, with her husband, an Olympian that competed for the USA.
@That One Actually, Many seem to care except for you.
@@travellerworld8966 Exactly !
Bart Connor.
Bart Connor who is also an Olympic All Around Gold Medalist in MAG, what a couple ❤️
Nadia?
We are so proud of you Nadia. No-one has ever heard of Romania before you went to Canada and...
Who is that girl?! Where is she from?! It s Nadia... From Romania!
You will always be our perfect 10.
😍❤️🇷🇴👏👋
Nadia Comaneci is the greatest gymnast in human history. She is, in other words, a solitary genius that no one else can catch up with.
Yeeeaaahhh... Tell that to Simone Biles...
S au lu Olga korbut
Yeaaaah...You mean Simone Biles the choke artist? Nadia got 2+ individual gold medals in 1976 and 1980. Simone got ZERO golds in 2021 because she is a choke artist. Again, Nadia is the gold standard. Simone got a silver in team in 2021 for one crappy vault in qualification for team. What a joke that was by Team USA trying to give her a gold in team with one crappy vault by her. Thankfully Russia won gold.
@@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.
@@jacobholgate4399 Can't compare Comaneci to Biles..Comaneci is unique and changed the face of gymnastics forever.. Biles has no grace whatsoever..no wow factor and appears clumsy and ungainly..Comaneci is so far above Biles in everyway and always will be
I really dont see the point in the little animation breaks, all it does is take away from the video and distract
Lena MacKay its for the american kids...they have pure attention span. The speaker speaks lazily as well.
It’s fkn cringeworthy af
Χρισαμπαλμη
With poor animation breaks and a highly awkward pause after every sentence, still gets views because the thumbnail is a white teen in gymnastic suit
Subtitles centre screen are not helpful either.
Nadia will never be forgotten.
She was amazing!!!
I just want to see her whole perfect performance first.
There's vdo Available Olympics channel itself
She also created a new gymnastics craze for gym classes at Jr high schools!
Indeed, especially over here in Romania
@@enescustef6154 I m romanian : sunt romanca
If it wasn't for Olga Korbut, no one would have cared about Nadia's performance.
Oh my God. She stands alone for the rest of the history of the world when it comes to perfect tens. That is a breathtaking thought. I'm American. But, even I have to say that Nadia has lifted Romania to the number one spot for ever in Olympic Gymnastics. How must the Romanian people feel knowing that. Wow !!!
North central or South American?
@@hozermagzl For the most romanian people she is the best romanian athlete ever in history.
We are just so proud of her! I’m 27 and I remember hearing about her perfect 10 from my grandparents ever since I was very young. Nadia will always have a special place in our hearts! ❤️🇹🇩
Actually Nellie Kim got tens on the floor and vault, winning 3 golds and a silver, in Montreal. However her amazing accomplishments were overshadowed by Nadia. Gotta feel for her.
kilroy1964 the reason she was overshadowed unfortunately Nadia got the perfect 10 first. Please she got the most, seven in total which has never been matched at the Olympic level.
Nellie Kim got only 2 gold medals of her own, while Nadia won All around and other 2 Gold medals (beam and UB (where she got a perfect score of 40)) Nellie had 2 marks of 10, while Nadia got 7.
Yeah and then Nellie Kim took revenge on the Romanians by scoring them low when she was on the judging panel and then changed the fabric of the sport by heading the FIG.
@@Kaboomboo I have heard that Nellie Kim is strict, but fair, as a chief judge.
Nadia's abilities surpassed anything the world had seen before. Olga korbut changed the nature of the sport, from a dancing competition to one of pure ahtleticism. but Nadia perfected the change, and so far out-distanced her rivals, it was eye-popping.
I remember sitting with my "significant other" (who was also a gymnast) watching all the videos in very slow motion on an old betamax (or maybe vhs) video machine as soon as they arrived in SA via a Lufthansa pilot friend.
And you can say what you like, *she was the greatest*
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...
Nadia's performances were flawless, she was incredible to watch, a joy
I was 12 in 1976 and had the biggest crush on Nadia... I even had newspaper and magazine clips of Nadia in an album. I moved to Oklahoma about 20 years ago and only yesterday found out that Nadia and her husband Bart Conner own a gymnastics academy just a few miles away in Norman. I wrote to Nadia yesterday to ask if I could drop by and meet them. I’m so anxious to hear back. I’m 56 now and would love to meet my idol and my first big crush. 🤞 🧒🏻❤️
how did it go??

Tears and speechless all these years later. I'm a member of the human race and am humbled in her reflected glory.
wow what is nice thing to write.
She is the true greatest of all time. No one even comes close. And to think she was only 14! Such grace and artistry.
she took on the 'dream team' soviets...and won good for her. she was a phenomenal athlete.
She is the Queen. I was 6 years old in 1976 and I remember today like yesterday her fantastic epopeya.
Nadia was the best. No one comes close - no one.
Simone comes close athletically - but only athletically. Nadia was by far more entertaining, more feminine, and more engaging.
@@yankee2666 “more feminine”
Yes gymnastics is art as well as performance sports. Nadia was just awe inspiring in her performance and composure under intense stress. Simone is more athletic but her performance is lackluster.
art, strength, & grace = 1.00
Comaneci will FOREVER be an inspiration for me and for others in the pursuit of excellence. Such a LEGEND...:)
I came to know about her because my elementary teacher had us read the newspaper. And I picked Nadia. She is my Heroine.
Nadia really enchanted the world with her art.!!
"Comaneci, stands alone".
Yeah, no one will defeat her perfect tens scores, ever.
Sure they will. Nowadays a 9.99 is the equivalent of a 10 from back then.
@@runcaz7802 Except Nadia did it at 14 which can no longer be done. With that said, the International Olympic Committee has no age limit. Age limits are set by the various sport federations.
@@runcaz7802 The smallest deduction is 0.1 for the judges to make nowadays.
The minimum age is now 16.
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 Comaneci you are great, world never forget you
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.
We need the 1976 AA Women’s Individual clip in full hq 😭 please!

Those Young girls are all now Legend in the field of Gymnastics. They Pave the Way for Gymnastic Possibilities. These are Awesome Brilliant Stars admired and inspired the future from their Era.
Only 14, what a legend NC 👏🏻🇷🇴🌹
When I was a young girl I watched her movie and I became entranced with her and she is the reason I love gymnastics the way that I do the movie was wonderful and it set me off on a love for gymnastics
Great. But remember NC is a boy
I was lucky enough to have been watching the Olympics in Hawaii 1976, all of us in school knew who she was, it was awesome she was just 3 months older than me, Nadia Comăneci Forever! Nadia Comăneci Born: 12Nov1961- Wikipedia
The uneven bar performance was just 😵💪🏾❤️❤️❤️❤️

This was such a wonderfully explained video. Full of information. Thank you very much to the speaker of this great video. Bless you. Keep up the great work.🌹
I wasn't aware that they eliminated a perfect 10 score. Seems crazy to me as some of these athletes are simply amazing! When & why did this change occur?
Since gymnasts now have the ability to have higher difficulty scores, they can score above a ten when combined with execution :)
Prob originated with “participation trophys”. Now high difficulty maneuvers aren’t allowed to those who’ve perfected them…it’s unfair to the competitors LOL!!
Après, j'ai appris ce que on leurs faisait subir, c'est innomable !!!!!!!! N'empêche qu'elle était excellente !!!!!!! Il semble qu'elle a une vie paisible aux États-Unis !!!!!! Tant mieux,je suis heureuse pour elle !!!!!!!!!! N'empêche pas je la félicite pour ses performances, c'était un moment de grâce !!!!!!! Merci à elle !!!!!!
The best of all time. Not a quitter in both life and in the gym. Brava Nadia! Brava!
She is the real GOAT!!!!
A record that stands UNTIL NOW.
En el 2.020 aún se me eriza la piel al ver a NADIA.
CUANTA PERFECCIÓN!!
LA ADORO. ❤❤❤❤❤
Impresionante!
Isso que é dedicação. Perfeição. Igual a essa nunca mais vai existir.
Nadia is my childhood crush... I saw nadia performance that time... now after so many year I saw this video... U make my day thx. If in future I go to Romania I will defiantly try to meet her.... Nadia u r great and I still love you....
She lives in the US, from what I know.
She lives in the United States since 1989. Her man is Bart Conner, also a gymnast from U.S. Olympic team. They have a son. They have together the "Bart Conner Gymnastics Academy" in Norman, Oklahoma. Nadia Comaneci takes SEVEN TIMES A "PERFECT 10" at the Olympics 1976 in Montreal and TWO TIMES A "PERFECT 10" at the Olympics in Moscow. Bart Conner takes TWO TIMES A "PERFECT 10" at the Olympics in Los Angeles. They are The "PERFECT 10" family. 🙂
WE LOVE HER...
COMANECI FOREVER IS #1
She is definitely out of this world ! superhuman what a genius .She's an inspiration.
@Olympic - This video is disappointing because it does not show Nadia's winning routines in their entirety. The fact that you ended the video with the choppy, partial body shots made the poor editing more noticeable and detracted from the inspiration of the uneven bar routine.
Comăneci stands UNIQUE,SHE'S UNIVERSAL!!!!❤❤❤🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴
I was 11 and remember watching her in the 1976 Olympics on TV.
Sin palabras simplemente FANTASTICA
Única la mejor
I just started highschool when Nadia got her 10. She was the first eastern european superstar. There were posters, handbags, what have you. She was everywhere. And we used to say when thing went wrong: Well, nobody is perfect. Exept for Nadia Comaneci.....
and she was not allowed to make a penny off of endorsements because of romania being communist
@@chrisslater921 yep. she had to do of for the honour of her country at that time.... Like so many others...
Excellent reportage.
The uneven bar was just like a computer animated perfect video that will never happen again in future.
Timeless perfection... Nobody like Nadia, she'll stand alone.
Nadia the best!!! 😍
Alessandra edits Nadia is romanian.
i know it
after Olga.
GRANDIOSA NADIA COMANECI
Isn't that lovely about Nadia 4 the Gymnastics?! What the great classic!

Insgesamt hat sie in Montreal 7 mal ein "PERFECT 10"!
GRATULIERE NADIA ! 🌹😍

👑 Nadia Comaneci é Regina 👑
Todavía me emociona ver a Nadia es increíble y es la mejor, lo que más me emociona es que a su corta edad fuera tan buena ,y además elegante en sus ejercios.
Perfeita
Did you know that:
- Three-times medallist at the 1992 Olympic Games US swimmer Anita Nall's first name is Nadia and their parents named her after Nadia Comaneci, as Nall was born during the 1976 Montreal Olympics?
- During one competition very early in her career, Mary Lou Retton thought she had been awarded a perfect 10 because the scoreboard said 1.00 like Nadia Comaneci in Montreal, but it was really a 1.00 score?
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.
Nadia , a fost , este su v a fi - NADIA !!!! Nimeni nu v a mai fi ca ea !!!!! Deci , ROMANIA 🇷🇴 a dat cea mai mare campioana la gimnastica a tuturor timpurilor si asa v a ramane in veci !!!! Bravo ROMANIA - bravo NADIA !!!!!!!!!
Si inca ceva , sa amintiti si de Teodora Ungureanu , era alaturi de Nadia in competitii .
Nadia is the greatest of all time.
Yes!
Olga Korbut!
She would have been at the top of the field during any era.
Yep, Nadia Comaneci is the G.O.A.T.!
Nadia Comaneci was magnificent.
First ever Perfect 10.
The ony Mega Perfect 40 till date which was awarded to her in Uneven Bars.
Both at Montreal 1976.
She was 14!!!??? Incredible.
Our Nadia, THE BEST!
Essa menina foi um espetáculo na época. Algo totalmente fora de série!
Nadia should open up a school for Gymnastics. She was phenomenal.
She already did
I love it
She got 6 perfect 10's.The greatest female gymnast ever.
Sin lugar a dudas como en todas las tareas sin ninguna duda. Nadia un 10 impoluto tu record....jfc
Simplemente la mejor de toda la historia
Perfect forever!! Nadia ❤️
Hello! For all those people here, the 10 might just be a number. But the truth is deeper, much deeper. The first perfect 10 in the Cold War. None of you young guys could imagine what that means. None of you can understand what that REALLY REALLY means. The perfect 10 was the openning from the west to the east! Without her performances we would still live in that. She´s the one and only one who made the impossible possible. Done by a young girl. Just because all the judges had to pull the 10. Because she was performing like a dream within a dream. I am from Germany and if I´ll ever match her I´ll sink on my knees, to praise her because she is a goddess. There is no match in history. She is the one and only who made dreams come true. And the dream was to unite east and west. I am thankfull.
Olaf, hast sehr schön geschrieben. I am from Germany too. It is incredible in what a great form it was Nadia Comaneci (at 14 ) then and just as incredible the 7 times a "PERFECT 10" from the Olympics in Montreal 1976. Then followed the 1980 Olympics in Moscow where she received 2 more a "PERFECT 10" ( had grown in height - puberty). In total she had 11 "PERFECT 10", the 2 received at The American Cup 1976 in New York. Nadia Comaneci had an incredible career, as well as character and no one will reach her. Congratulation Nadia Comaneci for that great "PERFECT 10" executions.
NADIE COMO NADIA
A Perfect 10!!
Even the great technology can beat her🔥 Comaneci still stands alone even up to this day🎉
so inspiring
Nadie como Nadia... Elegancia, Belleza y Perfección
We seriously need a movie about her! She has had such an interesting life and historical career.
There is a documentary they made called Nadia Comancei: The Gymnast and the Dictator. It is very interesting. You see how even though she won a gold medal and got perfect scores, when she went back to Romania aside from a ceremony that was most likely just for show, her life was no different. In some ways I think it got worse.
She is the Hermione of gymnastics
The GOAT❤❤
still mesmerizing to watch even for the n'th time
Where can I get her full performances at?
Anyone know?
Wow she was perfect, yet so humble !
Magistral. Las otras gimnastas del principio, que se ven mayores que Nadia, miran sus ejercicios, seguramente pensando que esta niña nos lo pondrá difícil.
Nadia got 10's on all the events...though not in order--Back then they did not have the bouncy floors either--where she got her 10 on floor routine.
My god, how i was in love with her, back in the 70s!
Nadia Comaneci es una verdadera leyenda!!!
GYMNASTIC WAS NEVER SO PERFECT NEVER SO FLAWLESS UNTILL THIS VERY LITTLE GIRL ENTERED INTO THE ARENA OF GYMNASTICS AND TO OUR UTTER DISBELIEF PROVED WITH CLEAR EVIDENCE THAT SHE CAN DO IT IN FULL CONFIDENCE AND COMPLETE AUTHORITY. A RARE KIND OF SKILL NEVER SEEN BEFORE UNBELIEVABLE BUT TRUE
Tuve esa fortuna de ver sus rutinas en la transmisión en vivo , yo estaba maravillado y muy emosionado con el trabajo de esta gimnasta , los jueces le dieron DIEZ y el mundo y yo nuestro corazón 🔟💙💐
❤una mujer grande entre las grandes, una gran inspiración ❤❤❤
La mejor gimnasta de todos los tiempos, la más técnica y grácil artísticamente hablando. Toda una reina en éste maravilloso deporte. 😃👍🏻
Y hay varias gimnastas más en el deporte rumano : Lavinia Milosovici, Daniela Silivas, Sandra Izbasa, Catalina Ponor etc
Nadia is the greatest!
