Bela Karolyi passes away living a Complex Legacy

Bela Karolyi, the esteemed Romanian coach who guided Nadia Comaneci to Olympic triumph in 1976, leaves behind a multifaceted legacy. Renowned for his strict discipline, he later defected to the United States, where he led Mary Lou Retton to gold in the 1984 Olympics. However, his coaching career became controversial, particularly in light of the Larry Nassar scandal. Both Comaneci and Dominique Moceanu have reflected on his profound yet complicated influence in the world of gymnastics.
