Six hours of training per day, incredible talent and lots of self-confidence all paid off for Romanian gymnast Nadia Comaneci (born 1961). She was the first gymnast in history to score the ‘perfect 10’ at the 1976 Olympic Games in Montreal, proving that perfection can be achieved through persistence. Comaneci, a five-time Olympic gold medallist, is now a passionate leader of a gymnastic academy for teenagers.
