Olvastam, hogy Nadia Comaneci (Kemenes Ilona) egy magyar apja van
(Gheorgie Comaneci - Kemenes György) és ezért Ilona egy félszarmású
magyar. De azt nem hittem... Nadia Comaneci (fél)-magyar szarmású
ember-e? Régen hallottam ezt. Még nem biztos vagyok.

Ui. Mi történt Ilonával 1980 után? Kíváncsi vagyok...

>I thought her name is Anna, not Ilona, but I may be wrong. I don't know
wht happened to her after 1980. When she was here during the olympics,
she spent a few days in the Laurentians in the same camp as my daughter.

I only answer because you sent me this message also via e-mail.

1. You should know that "Ilona" has nothing to do with "Nadia". It would
translate as "Elena" in Romanian. So much about precision.

2. The Kemenes - Comaneci connection has proved to be nonexistent up
to now, aside from the possibility of common origin for the two names,
which has nothing to do with the ethnical origin of the person wearing
it.

3. In 1981 Nadia has still won at the Universiade, after that she
retired, in 1989 she left the country and today she lives in the USA
together with his husband, Burt Conner (also gymnast), whom she
married this year in Bucharest.

4. When looking for Hungarian connections in the Romanian gymnastics,
I really wonder why nobody cares about Kati Szabo, definitely not so
famous as Nadia, but still winner of countless medals in European and
World Championships, and winner of 3 or 4 gold medals at the Los
Angeles Olympic games in 1984? Now, what happened to her???

Well Said, Zoli! I would like to list her on my Hungarian Olympians
page. If you haven't already done so, check it out, it's accessible
from the URL below. Please send me the info regarding her gold medals
so I could add it to the list.
