Transylvania Bank had today, in Cluj-Napoca, an exceptional guest: Nadia Comăneci. At the meeting with BT, she talked about performance, discipline, the pressure of perfection, and the lessons that remain beyond the podium.

Nadia Comăneci is these days in Cluj-Napoca to participate in two of the most important cultural and sporting events of the year:

• TIFF – Transilvania International Film Festival (12 – 21 June 2026);
  
  
• Sports Festival (11 – 14 June 2026), where he will hold a masterclass about performance in sports (14 June, 1:00 PM, BT Arena).

Both festivals are supported by Transylvania Bank, a partner of initiatives that bring together community, inspiration, talent, and excellence.

Nadia Comăneci is also BT brand ambassador.  

Sometimes it only takes a few seconds to change a life. 17 seconds. That is how long the exercise that changed my life and the history of world gymnastics lasted. But behind those 17 seconds were millions of seconds of training. For me, sport meant more than the first 10, more than the medals won. It was about discipline, courage, and the desire to become better every day.

2026, #YearNadia

In this year marks the 50th anniversary of the first 10 in the history of Olympic gymnastics. Thanks to Nadia Comăneci, the 1976 Montreal Olympic Games went down in history, becoming a benchmark from one generation to another because she rewrote the rules and raised the bar forever.
