- Nobody's perfect, not even if she's been a faultless
- Olympian. It turns out that NADIA COMANECI'S impetuous defection
- from Rumania was more than a flight to freedom: she vaulted into
- the arms of a Florida roofer named Constantin Panait, who
- happens to have a wife and four kids. Nadia, 28, wants to make
- a movie about her escape, but the impolitic affair with Panait,
- whom she met at a party back home two years ago, may have its
- price. Sponsors who could ensure her financial future prefer
- their sports stars to be squeaky clean.
