Based on a true story about Olympic gymnast Nadia Comaneci. Nadia began training competitively at age six, after being discovered by world-famous coaches, Bela Karolyi and his wife Marta. She became the first Olympic gymnast to score a perfect 10 at age 14 and walked away with three gold medals, one silver medal and one bronze at the 1976 Montreal Olympics. Her weight gain and the increasing pressure of competition later threatened her career.
