Now that the summer Olympics are upon us, ever wonder what became of Nadia Comaneci, the
Romanian gymnast who captured the gold five times at the 1976 Montreal Games? These days
she's prancing around in her underwear in a series of magazine advertisements for Jockey
for Her. Comaneci, who defected to Canada in 1989, confessed recently that she has
"always had a desire to be a model." The ads will appear in the August issues of
Sports Illustrated, People and Cosmopolitan, as well as on billboards all over Los Angeles
in September.
