In 1975, the young gymnastic star made her debut in Europe during the European Women’s Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Skien, Norway. Nadia was able to take home the gold medal for nearly every competition she joined. The one she did not end up winning still earned her the silver medal. She was only 13 years old but she was already making waves in the field!
