An Important Message from the Author
Like many kids all over the world, I grew up watching the Olympics with my family. Even when my parents went to sleep, I would often sneak into the living room and lay on the ground in darkness, illuminated only by the announcer on TV as he revealed the origin story for each of the world’s greatest athletes – and no other athlete stood out more than the little Olympian gymnast from Soviet Russia, Nadia Comaneci.
