Hands On
As all athletes know, injuries are pretty much unavoidable. While Nadia was participating in the World Championships, she cut her wrist on a grip buckle. She was taken to the hospital right away and she was told not to continue competing in the games. However, Nadia was a determined individual and she chose not to follow the doctor’s advice. She rushed back to the competition and managed to bring home the gold medal!

Moscow Summer Olympics
Nadia and Béla did not have a lot of time left to train so they decided to give it everything they had. They trained nonstop for five weeks so that they could prepare as well as they could for the upcoming Olympic Games. The Moscow Olympic Games was rather controversial since the United States did not want to send competitors as a means of protesting the USSR involvement in Afghanistan. However, Russians were also worried about another thing: Nadia Comăneci.
