Nadia Elena Comaneci
The 1976 Montreal Olympic Games was the moment she made history as the first athlete who scored a perfect 10 in bars that were symmetrical. Plus, Nadia Comaneci was able to score six more perfect tens in order to be one of the youngest Olympic Gold medalist. Nadia Comaneci managed to attract international attention and aid in helping Romania establish itself as a major player on the international stage. Her achievement of a score that was unattainable has made her a sports celebrity and popularized gymnastics in every country. Public opinion about female athletes was influenced by this feat. Her impact was so significant during the Olympics that even the uneven bar event has two moves named after her toe-on and release, both of which have been rated at a high difficulty and level. Apart from the Olympics, she also showed impressive performance at each of her World Championships & European Championships. This is how she became an iconic gymnast and one of best-known athletes the globe has ever witnessed. In addition, she modeled and promoted sports gear after making the move into the US.
