From the Couch Gymnast:
Like a lot of people my age, I was converted to gymnastics by the movie Nadia, the film made not long after Comaneci herself defected from Romania …
I remember the first time I saw it. I sat there in my neighbor’s lounge room, mouth agape, and we watched the film over and over again. All summer long we watched the movie …
Though I loved the real Nadia, at the time I pooh-poohed the Americanized version of a Romanian story.
To see a sample — where Nadia first meets Teodora — click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.
It’s pretty cheesy.
