A Mixed Reception
Understandably, Nadia’s arrival in America made big news and word quickly spread, with journalists hounding the Olympic star. They asked her, “What are your plans now?” among other things, and they were hungry for answers. Never the one to lose her cool under pressure, she answered questions with a little broken English and a smile. Some Americans were not really happy with her being in the US, owing to some nasty rumors that were spread around, but most of America was thrilled by Nadia’s arrival.
A Mixed Reception
Held Back
Once Béla Károlyi heard that Nadia successfully made it to the United States, he tried to get in touch with her, along with other people. As a matter of fact, many tried to contact her, though none of them got any response. What was the reason behind Nadia not returning any of their calls? It was because she did not get them as Constantin Panait intercepted them, and made sure Nadia never found out about them.
