At the 1976 Montreal Olympics, the 14-year-old Romanian gymnast achieved what had never been done before — a perfect score of 10.0, a mark so unprecedented that the scoreboard could not display it and showed \"1.00\" instead. She went on to earn seven perfect 10s at those Games, winning three gold medals, one silver, and one bronze. She returned to the 1980 Moscow Olympics to win two more gold medals and two silver medals, finishing her Olympic career with five gold medals, three silver, and one bronze. Named the Female Athlete of the Century by the International Olympic Committee, Comaneci transformed gymnastics forever and remains one of the most celebrated and beloved figures in the history of the Olympic Games. Signed pieces from Nadia Comaneci are genuinely rare and represent some of the most prized items in the Olympic memorabilia market.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is an 8x10 matte vintage competition photograph of Nadia Comaneci — a breathtaking image capturing her mid-competition in her white Adidas leotard bearing competition number 141, hands clasped behind her back, turning to look back over her shoulder with an expression of quiet, steely composure, the dramatic warm orange bokeh of the competition arena lighting glowing behind her. It is one of the most evocative and cinematically powerful images of any athlete in any sport. The photo is hand-signed in bold silver marker across the left center of the image, with Comaneci's full flowing signature displayed prominently.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe photo is in excellent condition with rich color and sharp detail. One of the finest and most historically significant pieces in the collection — a signed photograph from the woman who achieved the impossible and changed sport forever.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProvenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis item comes from a large autograph collection originally owned by a former autograph business.
