The TAROM aircraft that will carry the Romanian athletes to the Olympic Games in Paris has been renamed Nadia Comaneci, the company informs in a press release.
"On the occasion of the Paris Olympic Games, TAROM renamed the aircraft that will carry the Romanian athletes to the French capital Nadia Comaneci, the most successful Romanian gymnast of all time. Nadia Comaneci's name and autograph were affixed to the TAROM Boeing 737-800 aircraft, named previously "Sarmizegetuza", in honor of the holder of five gold medals at the Olympic Games, in 1976 and 1980, and the record for the first score of 10 in the history of gymnastics, in Montreal," the press release states.
The TAROM company is a traditional partner of the Romanian Olympic team and will fly the "tricolors" again this year at the Olympic Games in Paris, which will take place between July 26 and August 11, 2024.
"It is an honor to always be close to my country and Romanian sports. Good luck at the Olympic Games in Paris!" Nadia Comaneci told the Romanian athletes.
This is the first aircraft in the TAROM fleet to be named after a Romanian athlete.
Nadia Comaneci and TAROM concluded a partnership, through which the name of the famous gymnast will be associated with a B737-800 aircraft from the company's fleet.
