Author(s): Nadia Comaneci

Biography

If there were such a thing as an 'elder' stateswoman in women's gymnastics today, Nadia Comaneci would win that title as readily as she once won gold medals. From how to live on after you've realised your dream, to the necessity of 'a spirit forged with mettle,' this title includes Nadia's thoughts on athleticism and sacrifice.
