Nadia Elena Comaneci
It was at Montreal Olympic Games 1976 that she achieved one of the greatest moment in the history of sports - the score of the very first perfect 10 on the asymmetrical bars. Adding to this, she scored six additional perfect tens, and was the youngest Olympic gold medallist. The accomplishment of Nadia Comaneci was not only to attract attention from all over the world, she also helped put Romania in the spotlight. The achievement of an impossible score was what made the sports legend famous and brought gymnastics to the forefront of every country. The perception of women athletes also changed due to her achievements. The impact of her performance during the Olympics is significant enough that her toe step (release) and her toe step are both named for her in the event's uneven bars. In addition to the Olympics she was also an athlete during the World Championships and European Championships. Her performances have made her one of the top gymnasts to ever compete. When she left for the US, this 'Queen Of Olympics' took up modeling and promoting sports equipment.
