Nadia Comaneci: Olympic Gymnastics Legend




Susie Meister: The Meister Piece » Podcasts show

Summary: At the Montreal Olympics in 1976, Nadia Comaneci made Olympic history.  She was the first to get a perfect 10 in gymnastics, and then she repeated this incredible feat over and over again.  Once a member of the Romanian team under Bela Karolyi, Comaneci now lives in the United States with her gymnast husband, Bart Conner.  Today, she talks to The Meister Piece about that amazing performance in Montreal, working with Bela Karolyi, and her work with the Special Olympics.  Oh, and I ask her about working under Donald Trump on Celebrity Apprentice.  She is a legend, and frankly, I have no idea why she agreed to talk to me.  She truly is a Perfect 10.  You can visit her website for more on her gym, appearances, and charity work: www.bartandnadia.com.   Watch footage of that amazing performance here.  Follow her on Twitter: @nadiacomaneci10 and follow me @susie_meister
