During 1976, Nadia had to do everything she could to remain composed while she was fighting for the Olympic gold. She had beaten her main rival, a gymnast from Belarus named Olga Korbut, to take home the winning medal of the games. In an interview, Nadia stated she was used to receiving the perfect score because she had already been awarded it 19 times before during other contests. A quarter of the world was watching Nadia that day as one billion people tuned in to see her perform on the television.
