Young Talent
On one particular day, little Nadia had been spending some time on the playground with a school friend when she did some cartwheels. The kids had been too lost in playtime to notice a pair of adults keeping their eyes on them. The witnesses turned out to be the gymnastic coaches and married couple, Márta and Béla Károlyi. Back then, they were hanging out in the playground on the lookout for talented children. They decided to follow Nadia and her friend in an attempt to recruit the little girls to their gym.

Béla Károlyi
Béla Károlyi has been a huge sports fan since he was young and he ended up becoming an athlete himself. He got his start in the sport of hammer-throwing and he eventually became a champion in it. Later, he switched to coaching junior boxing. It was only when he met Márta Károlyi that he decided to convert to gymnastics. The couple normally went scouting for young talent and this was how they found Nadia.
