Part 3 of AFP's series on Olympic legends features Nadia Comaneci, who, at 14, became the first gymnast to score a perfect 10 at the 1976 Montreal Games, winning multiple gold medals and the all-round title. Comaneci later fled Romania before the fall of dictator Ceausescu in 1989. Carl Lewis, another track and field icon, won nine Olympic golds and eight world championship titles.
