Nadia The first gymnast to ever score a perfect 10 at the Olympics was Nadia Comaneci. From a small town in Romania, Nadia (Leslie Weiner, in her only feature film role) rose to international stardom. Under the coaching guidance of Bela Karoli, she pushed herself with the will of a champion. This movie does a wonderful job of showing how hard gymnasts must work as well as showing how much they must give up in their personal lives in order to achieve success. After winning three gold medals at the 1976 Olympics, her life spins out of control when Bela is removed as her coach. For the first time in her life she is on her own, she is the object of jealousy from her teammates, and her weight is out of control. She seeks out her former coach and asks for his help. Together they put Nadia back on the winning track. A family film with a lot to offer, Nadia shows in a credible way the highs and lows of celebrity. The gymnastics portions are terrific. A must if there’s a budding gymnast or gymnastic enthusiast in your home. Made in 1984 for television. (Ages 5 to adult) –Peggy Maltby-Etra
Customer Review: We loved Nadia!
My daughters have grown up watching this video, sometimes every day! Grandma said that if she never had to watch it again it would be fine with her…guess we overdid it. When I hear the music of the competitions I stop what I’m doing to watch that part again. Truly a classic and family favorite.
