Nadia Comăneci And Caitlyn Jenner

Nadia was not the only celebrity who actually competed during the Montreal Olympic Games in 1976. Caitlyn Jenner had been a competitor as well, though he had joined the track and field category. These two gold medalists never actually crossed paths, however. Jenner said, “Gymnastics finished before Track and Field started, so I was already gone by the time she competed.” The two only met each other four decades later and they got along well.
