Hecklers In The Crowd
Nadia would not get distracted from winning by anything. The attention of the world was refocused on her again, but she refused to allow the pressure to get to her. Drunk hecklers who were in the crowd, and even Russian soldiers who yelled “Fall, Nadia! Fall!” did not succeed in distracting her. Despite the fact that the amount of time she had to train before competing was not optimal, she still snagged two gold medals and two silver.

Unfair Scoring
Once again, the judges and spectators were blown away by Nadia and her flawless performances, though everything ahead was not smooth sailing. The judges took an incredibly long time to deliver her scores, and her coach, Béla Károlyi, suspected something was not right. Once the scores were revealed, they were way too low for Nadia’s performance. He made quite a scene, which was unfortunately captured and televised all over the globe. Some thought that Béla ’s antics embarrassed Romania, and he suddenly felt worried about his safety when he returned home.
