Baby Boy for Nadia and Bart (6th June, 2006)

Nadia Comaneci and Bart Conner are the proud parents of a baby boy Dylan Paul who was born on Saturday in Oklahoma City hospital, weighing 4 pounds, 10 ounces. Comaneci was due to deliver in July, which will be the 30th anniversary of her seven perfect 10s at the Montreal Olympic Games. But the 44 year old Comaneci instead delivered Dylan by Caesarean section on Saturday morning. The delivery room staff created a poster proclaiming the boy a ‘perfect 10.’

‘He already has definition in his deltoids and his biceps,’ said Conner, who won two gold medals at the 1984 Olympics. Nadia said she had already received a call from the Prime Minister of Romania and many others who wanted to share in their joy. Bart mentioned the baby was named after his favourite musician, Bob Dylan and former coach and business partner Paul Ziert. The godparents are Ziert and Romanian native Anastasia Soare.

Congratulations Bart and Nadia on your new arrival - Dylan Paul, from everyone at Backflip Gymnastics Magazine.
