  1. It gives me goose bumps to see Nadia K. As a little gymnast in the 70's and 80's she was my idol and probably every other little gymnasts at that time as well.

    People say gymnastics has changed, it has. The efortless power and grace has gone, replaced by raw power. I have great respect for todays gymnasts they have great skill but there is something missing. Nadia will in my mind always be the best gymnast ever.
