Enter Béla Károlyi
Béla Károlyi was at first a junior boxing coach and even a hammer-throwing champion. He found his passion as a gymnastics coach largely because of his wife, Márta Károlyi. Together they became a dynamic pair of gymnastics teachers.
Practice Makes Perfect
Béla was very impressed with the young girl’s motivation and work ethic. The budding star trained a minimum of 2-3 hours every day with Béla. He also noted that despite falls and failures, Nadia refused to give up.
