Aurelia Dobre and Nadia Comăneci
Her name is Nadia, only 10 but already making a mark in the world of gymnastics. She was a child who had it all: power, poise, skill, and beauty. A national princess who captivated her country with her dark, seductive eyes. Four years later, at the 1976 Summer Olympics, it was the world that Nadia seduced. In Montreal, Nadia scored an unprecedented seven perfect tens and captured five medals, three of them gold.
Over a decade later, and all grown up, Nadia is now a coach, sharing what she's learned and watching for the one who will wear her crown. The world awaits as Romania searches among its students for a successor. Could it be this young Romanian? Look closely at the eyes. Does she have the same quiet determination? 14-year-old Aurelia Dobre is a new face in international gymnastics, and many say a new force as well. Will it be Aurelia who will tumble her way into our hearts and make us think again of Nadia?
