Similar Stories to Outlook 2020: 'you Can’t Jump From Little Things To Big Things,' Nadia Comaneci Says on Bing News

By Ryan Aber, staff writer, raber@oklahoman.comNORMAN — When Nadia Comaneci lit up the sports world more than 40 years ago, gymnastics wasn’t ready for it. In the 1976 Summer Olympics, Comaneci became the first gymnast to earn a perfect 10 in the Olympics, earning the mark first on the uneven bars and then six more times during the Olympiad.

Comaneci, who starred in those games for her home country of Romania, moved to Oklahoma in 1991 and married Bart Conner a few years later. She was an Olympic icon long before she arrived in the state — she won three gold medals in those 1976 games and added two more in 1980.Read more on NewsOK.com
