Romanian former gymnast Nadia Comăneci will have a new gymnastics hall in her name.
Former great gymnast Nadia Comăneci was present at the start of construction for the gymnastics hall that will bear her name, a project carried out by the Țiriac Foundation in Otopeni.
In the summer of 1976, a then-14-year-old Nadia Comăneci received the first perfect 10 in the history of Olympic gymnastics, immortalizing her name in Romania and elsewhere.
“As a sign of recognition for her unique legacy, the Țiriac Foundation is building the 'Nadia Comăneci' Gymnastics Hall, a place dedicated to children who want to discover the beauty and discipline of this sport.
Nadia herself was present at the start of construction, in a symbolic gesture linking the glorious past of Romanian gymnastics to its promising future," the foundation noted in a press release cited by Agerpres.
