'''Nellie Vladimirovna Kim''' ([[Russian language|Russian]]: {{lang|rus|Нелли Владимировна Ким}}; born 29 July 1957) is a retired [[Soviet Union|Soviet]] gymnast who won three gold medals and a silver medal at the [[1976 Summer Olympics]] in [[Montreal]], and two gold medals at the [[Gymnastics at the 1980 Summer Olympics|1980 Summer Olympics]]. She was the second woman in Olympic history to earn a [[Perfect 10 (gymnastics)|perfect 10]] score and the first woman to score it on the [[vault (gymnastics)|vault]] and on the [[floor exercise]], rivaling [[Nadia Comăneci]], [[Ludmilla Tourischeva]], and other strong competitors of the 1970s. Nellie Kim worked for a long time as a coach, training several national teams, and judged many major international competitions. As President of the Women's Artistic Gymnastics Technical Committee, she coordinates the introduction of new rules in women's gymnastics, as provided by the new ''[[Code of Points (artistic gymnastics)|Code of Points]]'', developed by the [[Fédération Internationale de Gymnastique|FIG]] in 2004–2005 and in effect since 2006. Her gymnastic appearances are remembered for "her strong feminine, temperamental and charismatic appeal".<ref>{{cite web | title = Nellie Kim | work = [[International Federation of Gymnastics]] | url = http://www.fig-gymnastics.com/events/athletes/bio.jsp?ID=4893 | accessdate = 17 April 2006 | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20070311045804/http://www.fig-gymnastics.com/events/athletes/bio.jsp?ID=4893 | archivedate = 11 March 2007}}</ref>

==Early life==
Nellie Kim was born in [[Shurab, Tajikistan|Shurab]], [[Tajik SSR]], [[Soviet Union]]. She is the daughter of a [[Sakhalin Korean]] father, Vladimir Kim, and a [[Tatar]] mother, Alfiya Safina.<ref name=sr>{{cite Sports-Reference |url=http://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/ki/nelli-kim-1.html}}</ref> Later the family moved to [[Kazakh SSR]], where her father worked in the [[Chimkent]] slate factory. At age 9, she entered [[Chimkent]] City [[Children and Youth Sports School]] 3<ref name="book" /><ref name="BY_NOC">{{cite web | script-title = ru:КИМ Нелли Владимировна (гимнастика спортивная) | work = [[Belarus Olympic Committee]] | url = http://www.noc.by/bsog/htdocs/47 | language = Russian | accessdate = 21 March 2008}}</ref> of the [[Spartak (sports society)|Spartak Sports Society]]. Two other children in the family, her younger brother Alexander and her sister Irina, also entered a gymnastics school and trained for some time. Alexander was harassed by his classmates in the secondary school for his small stature and retired from gymnastics in favor of boxing. Irina, whom Nellie Kim considered more talented than she herself was, retired because of the demands of the frequent training sessions.<ref name="book">{{cite book | first = Nellie | last = Kim | title = Schastlivyy pomost (Lucky Gymnastics Platform) | year = 1985 | publisher = Molodaya Gvardiya | location = Moscow | language = ru}}</ref>

Kim's trainers were [[Vladimir Baidin]] and his wife, Galina Barkova. Initially, she did not have sufficient flexibility as compared with many of her fellow gymnasts, but she was soon able to compensate with superior technique and the difficulty of her exercises. So she quickly became the best in Soviet gymnastics.

One of Kim's earliest successes was her victory in the republican Spartak's competition, held in [[Chimkent]] in 1969. Nevertheless, a year later she was said to "have no future" by celebrated gymnast [[Larisa Latynina]].<ref name="wh">{{cite web | title = Whatever Happened to Nelli Kim? | work = GymnasticGreats.com | url = http://www.gymn.ca/gymnasticgreats/wag/kim_nelli.htm | accessdate = 13 April 2006}}</ref> After that verdict, Kim was close to leaving gymnastics but persevered with support from Baidin. At the 1971 Junior USSR Championships, her first national competition, she placed fifth in the all-around. The national junior success, as well as senior national and international debuts followed two years later. Kim won the all-around title and two more gold medals at the All-Union Youth Sports Games, placed 8th in the all-around and 1st on the [[uneven bars]] at the USSR Cup and won the prestigious Chunichi Cup in [[Japan]]. After a second-place finish at the USSR Cup in August 1974, she was added to the team roster for the [[1974 World Championships in Artistic Gymnastics|World Championships]], held in October, where Kim earned the gold medal in the team competition. Afterwards, and until 1980, she successfully competed in many top-level international events.

Nellie Kim's nickname among USSR teammates and team coaches was "Kimanellie," which she earned, when a trainer [[Vladislav Rastorotsky]] called her very quickly: "Kim, Nellie, to the phone!"<ref name="book" />

==Olympics and World Championships==
Nellie Kim became one of the main medal prospects for the upcoming Olympics and actual leader of the Soviet team after the 1975 Canadian Pre-Olympics Test competition. At the Test she placed second in the all-around to [[Nadia Comăneci]], but won three golds in the event finals (vault, balance beam, floor exercise), while Comaneci won the remaining one on bars.<ref>{{cite web | title = 1975 Pre-Olympic Test Event | work = Gymn-Forum | url = http://www.gymn-forum.com/results/PreOly/Women/1975_ef.html | accessdate = 20 July 2006}} {{Dead link|date=September 2010|bot=H3llBot}}</ref> [[Larisa Latynina]], who had already changed her opinion about Kim earlier, described her gymnastics style as sparkling and cheerful. She also cited a comment by Canadian newspapers about Kim's performance: "There are moments, when a natural smile is more worth, than triumph". However, although Nellie Kim also won the 1976 USSR Cup, beating such famous of her compatriots as [[Olga Korbut]] and [[Ludmilla Tourischeva]], they were still considered leaders by the media. Even the Coach Council of the Soviet team failed to define her as the leader. That was a mistake recognized by Soviet experts later.<ref name="book" />

At the [[1976 Summer Olympics]] the rivalry between Nellie Kim and Nadia Comăneci became the focal point of the women's gymnastics competition. Kim's teammates Ludmilla Tourischeva and Olga Korbut, the Olympic champions of [[1972 Summer Olympics|Munich]], were overcome by the two rising stars in the battle for the gold. Nellie Kim won three gold medals, one in the team competition and two in the event finals: on the vault and floor exercise. Music for her floor routine, choreographed by Valentina Kosolapova, was a fiery [[Samba]], and one of the elements was the double back salto, performed for the first time in Olympic women's events. Kim also won a silver medal in the all-around, receiving the perfect 10 for the [[Mitsuo Tsukahara|Tsukahara]] vault with the full twist, which was also performed for the first time in Olympic history. She was praised for her feminine beauty and the flamboyant, graceful and intense style.<ref name="wh" /> Comaneci won the gold in the all-around, on bars and [[balance beam]]. She had a slight lead over Nadia on the other 3 events combined in the all-around but despite being the World bronze medallist on beam Nellie performed very poorly on that apparatus conceding a full 1.0 to Nadia.

After the 1976 Summer Olympics Nellie Kim moved to [[Byelorussian SSR]] (joining the Armed Forces sports society in [[Minsk]]) and represented her new home on the USSR team. Two years later Kim successfully competed at the [[1978 World Championships in Artistic Gymnastics|World Championships]]. She won gold medals on the vault, floor exercise and in the team competition, and placed second in the all-around to [[Elena Mukhina]], overcoming Nadia Comăneci, who fell from the uneven bars, among others. The greatest success came at the [[1979 World Championships in Artistic Gymnastics|1979 World Championships]], where Nellie Kim became the all-around champion, beating [[Maxi Gnauck]], Melita Ruhn and her teammate [[Maria Filatova]].<ref>{{cite news | title = Miss Kim Captures Laurels | last = Hulbert | first = Dan | publisher = [[New York Times]] | date = 9 December 1979 | page = S4}}</ref> Her floor exercise routine, choreographed by Galina Savarina, was accompanied by a new piece of music, [[House of the Rising Sun]] by [[Santa Esmeralda]], which would also be used one year later at the Olympics.<ref name="book" />

In 1980 she won the all-around title at the USSR Championships and successfully competed in the Moscow Olympics, her last competitive performance. She tied for the gold medal on the floor with Nadia Comăneci, after scoring 9.95 in that event finals, and won gold in the team competition.<ref>{{cite news | title = Deprived of the all-around title | publisher = [[Boston Globe]] | date = 26 July 1980 | page = 1}}</ref> After the Moscow Olympics, Nellie Kim appeared with a roster of other top-class gymnasts at [[Wembley Arena]] in January 1981 for a popular exhibition of gymnastic performances on floor and apparatus.

==Later life==
After her competitive career was over, Nellie Kim she worked as a coach and a judge. She coached the [[South Korea]]n, [[Italy|Italian]] and [[Belarus]] national teams. In 1984 Kim became the International Brevet Judge and judged many international competitions, including European Championships, World Championships and Olympic Games. Her judging license was suspended by the FIG for a while only once – after the 1990 World Cup due to allegations of cheating and fixing scores.  Despite her suspension, she was judging again in [[1992 Summer Olympics|Barcelona]]. Since 1993 she has been the President of the Judging Committee in Artistic Gymnastics of the Republic of [[Belarus]].

Nellie's first marriage was to the fellow gymnast Vladimir Achasov,<ref name=sr /> but this marriage did not last. She met her second husband at the 1980 Olympics, and they had a daughter (also named Nellie) who was born in the mid-1980s.<ref name="gymn.ca">{{cite web | url = http://www.gymn.ca/gymnasticgreats/wag/kim_nelli.htm | title = Nellie Kim | first1 = Barbara | last1 = Fisher | first2 = Jennifer | last2 = Isbister | date = 24 October 2002 | accessdate = 27 December 2015}}</ref> Her second husband was a Soviet cyclist [[Valery Movchan]], 1980 Olympics gold medalist.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://rewritingrussiangymnastics.blogspot.com/2012/12/lupita-translates-nelli-kim-interview.html | title = Lupita translates : Nelli Kim interview (November 2012) ("Nelli Kim: triple back on floor") | date = 3 December 2012 | accessdate = 27 December 2015}} Translated from: {{cite web | url = http://sportpanorama.by/content/gymnastics/16778/ | title = Нелли Ким: тройное сальто на вольных | first = Михаил | last = Дубицкий | date = 15 November 2012 | accessdate = 27 December 2015}}</ref>

In the 1990s, Kim moved to the U.S. and in 2002 was residing in Minnesota.<ref name="gymn.ca" />

In 1996, Kim was elected to the Women's Artistic Gymnastics Technical Committee of the [[International Gymnastics Federation]] (FIG), and moved to the [[United States|U.S.A.]] soon afterwards.{{citation needed|date=December 2015}}

In 1999, she was inducted into the [[International Gymnastics Hall of Fame]].<ref>{{cite web | title = NELLI KIM | work = International Gymnastics Hall of Fame | url = http://www.ighof.com/honorees/honorees_kim.html | accessdate = 12 May 2007}}</ref>

At the FIG Congress held on 22 October 2004 in [[Antalya]], Nellie Kim was elected President of the Women's Artistic Gymnastics Technical Committee.<ref>{{cite news | url = http://www.intlgymnast.com/news/2004/oct.html#congress2 | title = Grandi, Stoica Re-Elected | publisher = International Gymnast Online | date = 22 October 2004 | accessdate = 26 March 2006}}</ref> She helped design the 2006 alteration in the ''[[Code of Points (artistic gymnastics)|Code of Points]]'', which will end the use of the perfect 10 and introduce uncapped scoring for gymnasts. Some of the main causes for the change were judging [[Scandals of the 2004 Summer Olympics|scandals]] at the [[2004 Summer Olympics]], with [[Alexei Nemov]] and other gymnasts involved. FIG officials, including Nellie Kim and [[Bruno Grandi]], believed that one of the possible ways to prevent such scandal in the future and make the clean execution and artistry the main priorities, was a radical change of the old Code.

This move has been controversial among fans and athletes alike. Kim and other FIG officials pointed out that this alteration was designed with the help and advice from FIG member federations and many judges, as have all previous codes. They also underlined that this system will be tested on major international events before final adoption.

In her 2005 interview Nellie Kim said that unlike her predecessor in the post of the President of the WAG TC, Jackie K. Fie, she does not receive any salary from the federation of the country, represented by her in the FIG. And therefore she works for the FIG on the basis of pure enthusiasm.<ref>{{cite news | url = http://www.sb.press.net.by/article.php?articleID=46658 | title = I will command the parade! | publisher = Sovetskaya Belorussiya | date = 3 September 2005 | accessdate = 26 March 2006 | language = ru | deadurl = yes | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20070513161951/http://www.sb.press.net.by/article.php?articleID=46658 | archivedate = 13 May 2007}}</ref>

In 2013, she was accused by Russian coaches of favoring American gymnasts <ref>{{cite web|last1=Meyers|first1=Dvora|title=The other Perfect 10: The half-Korean Soviet gymnast you’ve never heard of|url=http://fusion.net/the-other-perfect-10-the-half-korean-soviet-gymnast-yo-1793861081|website=Fusion}}</ref>, a view she vehemently refutes and criticizes.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://rewritingrussiangymnastics.blogspot.com/2013/10/nelli-kim-russian-gymnastics-has-closed.html | title = Rewriting Russian Gymnastics: Nelli Kim – 'Russian gymnastics has closed in on itself' – Lupita translates | work = rewritingrussiangymnastics.blogspot.com | deadurl = yes | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20140714232132/http://rewritingrussiangymnastics.blogspot.com/2013/10/nelli-kim-russian-gymnastics-has-closed.html | archivedate = 14 July 2014}}</ref> 

She was the subject of a half-hour [[National Film Board of Canada]] documentary ''Nelli Kim'', co-directed by [[Georges Dufaux]] and Pierre Bernier, which was filmed at the 1976 Summer Games and released in 1978.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://onf-nfb.gc.ca/en/our-collection/?idfilm=12862# | title = Nelli Kim | work = Collection | publisher = National Film Board of Canada | accessdate = 18 June 2016}}</ref>
