very interesting story ) but if you want to get to know something about the most legendary Nadia Elena Comaneci, dim. – Romanian gymnast, winner of five Olympic gold medals, two-time world champion, nine-time European champion. She is the first in the history of the Olympic Games whose performance was judged flawlessly by the judges. But there was no political scandal around her :) beautiful woman until today. She is unknown to younger ppl , as a child i saw her win and remembered that from such a country..? your newsletter reminded me about her,..... thank you for a good piece of history unknown for me and remaining of Nadia

Regards

Nadia was stunning. I watched her perform in Montreal in person. Vera got a 10 in 1967 at the European championships. I chose the video so everyone could see it. From memory, Nadia tried to defect a few times before she was successful. Both women showed tremendous courage.
