Nadia Comaneci

Nadia waited quietly and nervoussly.The crowd was silent looking on the board waiting for the score from Nadia's last routine but when the board had flashed a one the crowd went wild because Nadia had scored a perfect ten.
Nadia was born in Romania 1961.She had started gymnastics when she was six years old and won lots of medals in 1976 in the Montreal Olympics held in Canada.In the Montreal Olympics she won three gold medals,one silver and one bronze.She scored 7 10s in the Montreal Olympics and it was also the first time that anyone had scored a ten.The Moscow Olympics in Russia 1980 she got two gold medals and two silver.
She trained six days a week and four hours a day.She would go to the gym early and started to do her exercize again without complaining.She was a very energetic gymnast.She liked jumping and sprinting that she broke four of her couches by jumping on it and it broke the springs on the chair. She also had to watch her diet.Nadia had to have healthy food to be fit and to build her muscles.
