I don’t know how many times I watched it before bringing it back, but I thought about every scene, and sang the music that plays during her legendary uneven bar exercise at the 1976 Olympics, and dreamed about being her, for months and months. The movie was on this videotape that was passed on among us little gymnasts and every single girl in the gym thought that Nadia was her hero.
