Nadia - The First Perfect 10
Born in 1961, Romanian gymnast Nadia Comaneci became the first woman to score
a perfect 10 in an Olympic gymnastics event at the Olympic Games.
She thrilled the world at those 1976 games in Montreal, Canada,
where, at the age of 14, she became the first woman to score a perfect 10!
She won three gold medals: uneven bars, balance beam and individual all-around.
At the 1980 Olympics, she won gold medals for the balance beam and floor exercise.
Nadia retired from competition in 1984 and defected to the United States in 1989.
She married American gymnast Bart Conner in 1996
and they now live in Norman, Oklahoma.
Aim High's Level 6s and Level 7s have worked hard to achieve their levels.
They each won ribbons and/or medals for their placement in the events:
Vault, Floor Exercise, Bars, and Beam
We are proud of our optionals team!
Their hard work and dedication has led to many successes,
and we look forward to the Oklahoma State Gymnastics Meet
on March 15th.
