Nadia Comăneci And Caitlyn Jenner
Nadia was not the only soon to be celebrity competing in Montreal, Canada during the 1976 Olympic Games. Caitlyn Jenner was also there, competing in Track and Field. However, the two gold medalists never crossed paths. As Jenner explained, “Gymnastics finished before Track and Field started, so I was already gone by the time she competed.” It was not until 2016 that the two finally got the chance to meet. They hit it off immediately.
Nadia Comăneci And Arnold Schwarzenegger
Jenner is not the only celebrity eager for a chance to meet Nadia. One day, while working out at her local gym, Nadia was spotted by a certain former California governor. Schwarzenegger could not help coming up and asking her for a picture. “It is fantastic to get to the gym early and have an Olympic champion as your trainer – thanks Nadia Comaneci! 10 reps to honor the first perfect 10 score in the Olympics.” The two discussed training tips as well.
