Nadia was one of the soon to be celebrities who competed at the 1976 Olympic Games in Montreal, Canada. Caitlyn Jenner was there as well, competing in Track and Field, but the gold medalists didn’t cross paths. Jenner explained, “Gymnastics finished before Track and Field started, so I was already gone by the time she competed.” The two eventually got the opportunity to meet in 2016 and they became friendly immediately.
