Lost Contacts
Hearing of her arrival in America, her former coach, Béla Károlyi, tried to contact her but he couldn’t. Károlyi couldn’t understand why she wasn’t returning his calls. But what her coach didn’t know, was that Constantin Panait was filtering out her incoming calls.
The Secret
The public started to notice that something was strange about Nadia Comăneci and Constantin Panait. They were always staying at motels and roadhouses together. When the press asked her about their relationship, she stuck out her tongue and said, “It’s a secret.” This was especially weird as Panait was married.
