Back Home
Nadia was urged to return to Romania after the fall of the dictatorship. Because of the new government’s progressive policies, she was able to hold her wedding in Parliament’s historic House of Commons. It was an incredible honor, and she was greeted as a hero rather than a traitor. More than ten thousand people attended the wedding, and it was broadcast nationally on television. People traveled from all over Romania to witness her glory as the country’s greatest athlete. Formerly a Romanian, she has returned there.

Her Message
Nadia has never gotten over the trauma of being uprooted from her native land. She had a deep affection for her countrymen, but she despised the communist regime. She spoke to the people of Romania during her wedding. She insisted that her feelings for them never changed and that she had only left because she was forced to. Her words were received warmly, and the Romanian people have never forgotten her patriotism and her many accomplishments. Even today, Nadia remains one of Romania’s most revered figures.
