MONTREAL — Nadia Comu0103neci visited this city last year, celebrating the 40th anniversary of her transcendent Olympics.
“I did the zipline,” she said. “I almost lost my head. I lost a shoe.”
Back on solid footing, the Romanian great is again in Montreal for this week’s world gymnastics championships as an ambassador.
“It’s part of the triangle of my life,” Comu0103neci said in an extended interview while promoting the film “Winning.” “Romania, Montreal and gymnastics.”
Not only that magical week in 1976, when a 14-year-old from a factory town stole hearts and won five medals, including three golds, and scored seven perfect 10s.
