EDITORS COMMENTS
In this iconic print captured at the 1976 Montreal Olympics, gymnastics legends Nadia Comaneci and Nellie Kim share a heartfelt moment of camaraderie on the podium. The image showcases Romania's golden girl, Comaneci, extending her hand to congratulate the USSR's silver medalist, Kim, in a display of sportsmanship that transcends borders. Comaneci etched her name into Olympic history by becoming the first gymnast ever to achieve a perfect score of 10.0 in the uneven bars event. Her remarkable performance didn't stop there as she went on to secure six more perfect scores en route to winning gold medals in the all-around competition, uneven bars, and balance beam. Kim also left an indelible mark on these Games with her flawless routines. She too earned several perfect scores including those that propelled her to victory in both vault and floor exercises. Additionally, Kim contributed significantly to her team's success by clinching another gold medal for them. The photograph captures not only their individual achievements but also symbolizes the mutual respect between two exceptional athletes from different nations during a time when political tensions ran high. It serves as a reminder that sport has the power to unite people beyond national boundaries. This extraordinary snapshot was taken by Colorsport photographer Stewart Fraser and immortalizes an unforgettable moment shared between two gymnastic superstars who inspired generations with their grace, skill, and unwavering dedication to their craft.
