Young Talent
One day in kindergarten, the six-year-old Nadia Comăneci did some cartwheels on the school’s playground along with a friend. As the two children were absorbed in playing, they did not notice a few people watching them. They were Béla and Márta Károlyi, a married couple that were gymnastic coaches and the two went to the playground in order to scout for some young talent. As a matter of fact, the Károlyis went from classroom to classroom trying to get Nadia and her buddy to join the couple’s gym.
