My great pride is that I was born in the same town as Nadia Comaneci, having great feelings about walking on the same street as she once did, seeing what she saw and breathing the same air. There are many other famous persons there were born in this town, but she was the greatest of them all. Beautiful, graceful, with a good heart and great skill, she was and still is my life goal.
