10. they didn't stop there, for not only did
Nadia receive the first perfect score, she then
proceeded to get six more!

Quote
I basically have my life today as a result of
what I did as a child. What did I miss out on?
Yeah, I missed not hanging out at shopping malls,
I guess, but that is not a big deal because you
dont get a medal for that. Nadia 46
