Nadia Comaneci

  • LONDON (AP) -- Nadia Comaneci is hoping gymnastics reverts to the old style of scoring and again give competitors a chance at the perfect 10 that she made famous.
  • (YAHOO!)
  • LONDON -- Wearing seven-inch black stilettos, skinny jeans and a black figure-hugging T-shirt declaring Im Gold, Nadia Comaneci was still turning heads in London 36 years after producing the defining image of Olympic gymnastics.

  • Latynina has had 18 since 1964. The world might remember more the tiny dancers of the blossoming television age; Nadia Comaneci, Mary Lou Retton, Olga Korbut. But nobody, in her sport or any other, has owned more Olympic medals than she.

  • Wieber was one of only four women in the completion to rack up more than 60 points on the day. Karoyli coached legend Nadia Comaneci to prominence in 1976 before training Mary Lou Retton, the first American to win an all-around gold in the Olympics.

  • Back in 1976 when Nadia Comaneci made the perfect 10s they no longer offer in the world of womens Olympic gymnastics, I remember being shocked by the revelation that Romanian girls left home and made the team their family at an early age.

  • Even now, she is not exactly all sugar and spice. Latynina once called Olga Korbut a prima donna. Ask her about Nadia Comaneci and prepare to get an earful. Nadia had a very good PR company, she said.
