She also holds the record as the youngest Olympic gymnastics all-around champion ever; with the revised age-eligibility requirements in the sport (gymnasts must now turn 16 in the calendar year to compete in the Olympics; in 1976 gymnasts had to be 14 by the first day of the competition), it is currently not possible to legally break this record.

She is also credited as being the first gymnast to perform a double-twist dismount.

  33. WHAT IS BEING FAIMOUS TO YOU? • “I was not aware how famous I was in the world for a long time. In fact, I think I found out only after the competition in Montreal, when travelling in the United States to perform in gymnastics shows at Madison Square Garden. I could not understand at the time why people were so keen to touch me or my pompons. At that time our schedule was  so tight, with short visits abroad, when most of our time was spent in rehearsals and training. But we were so young that I do not believe we would have been genuinely interested in sight-seeing or meeting other people; we were pretty exhausted by our training anyway”.

  34. “Sometimes I have to pinch myself to tell if it is still true. Nowadays it is so hard to do something that will create a real impact, so that people will remember that moment, or have their lives changed by it. I recall that I had the opportunity to meet Celine Dion in Canada, at the end of one of her concerts. She was early in her career and singing only in French. She told me that after seeing my performance in the Montreal Olympics she told herself that she wanted to do something with her life that will make her as big a success as I was then.”
