Taken from "Nadia Comaneci, Romanian Gymnast" With Nadia's excellent performances in Europe and the pre-Olympic meets in the United States and Canada, she was ready for the big event. Ever since Nadia had started gymnastics, she had dreamed of going to the Olympic Games. In 1976, when she was just fourteen years old, she got her chance.
