“One of the episodes was about Nadia Comăneci, the gymnast, and we couldn’t find it. We went into the database that the IOC have of their entire history of video, and we kept searching for her. Couldn’t find her. We got one clip, and in the end some smart person on the team said they would look for athletes she competed against and see if there’s footage of her. We found 76 different spellings of her name.” 57:46
