On 8 July, Nadia Comaneci — the first ever gymnast to obtain a perfect score of 10, in the 1976 Olympics — inaugurated a new clinic that will bear her name in Bucharest, reports Cotidianul. According to the daily, the former champion financed the project "with funds from her advertising contracts." The idea for the clinic, which was built by convicts in one of Bucharest's prisons, was inspired by a priest who is close to the 48-year-old Romanian-American. The facility will provide free medical and counselling services to the city's orphans and street children.
