Comăneci continues to be successful to this day because she never disappeared after the Olympics. Like Michael Phelps, she has remained active in the sport and the public limelight since she first won gold in Montreal in 1976.
Her constant exposure has made her one of the biggest names in gymnastics and has allowed her business to keep expanding and be profitable.
Production Company Owner
In 1998, Nadia Comăneci and her husband started running a production company out of their gym. The company works with major sports broadcasters such as ESPN and Fox Sports, broadcasting several gymnastics events around the United States and the world.
Many of the major gymnastics events on sports channels are produced by their company.
Successful Business Woman
Nadia Comăneci has a net worth of around $10 million dollars. And the money definitely isn’t from her selling her gold medals! She won't be so quick to sell those babies. She has earned a lot of money over the years through hard work and effort.
She and her husband Bart Conner run a very successful gymnastics center in the United States. They also own a production company together and their company that sells gymnastics equipment. It seems like they do it all.
Strong Motivation
Many people want to know how Comăneci was able to become one of the best gymnasts ever. Well, like many other top athletes, Nadia is a very competitive person who always has the burning desire to win. She recalls being in a bicycle race when she was younger and all she wanted to do was win the competition.
Her mentality never changed, and this is what allowed her to be so successful in gymnasts. That, coupled with the right instruction, produced a winning gymnast.
She Will Forever Hold The Record
Nowadays, the current gymnastics scoring doesn’t allow for gymnasts to score a perfect 10, like Nadia was once able to. Comăneci says that this is a problem. Several changes have been made to scoring, and it is virtually impossible for a gymnast to get a perfect score.
So, it seems that Comăneci will always be remembered in the history books as the only gymnast to get a perfect 10.
