# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born November 12, 1961, in Romania, Comăneci arrived at the 1976 Montreal Games as a 14-year-old and became the first gymnast ever awarded a 10.0 at the Olympics. She collected seven perfect scores that summer and left with three golds. Four years later in Moscow, she added two more golds and two more 10s. Her artistry didn't just win medals — it pulled global eyes to gymnastics in the mid-1970s, a shift in attention the sport had never seen. In 1989 she defected from Communist Romania, timing her escape months before the regime fell. She settled in the United States, eventually marrying American gymnast Bart Conner in a ceremony broadcast live back in Bucharest. By 2024, the International Sports Press Association named her the greatest female gymnast of the past century.
