Béla Károlyi was someone who prized dedication and hard work so he was happy that his own protégé felt the same way. At the age of 13, Nadia and Béla were already training 8 hours a day for 6 days every week. That’s dedication for you! The pair wanted to achieve greatness and they were willing to do everything they had to in order to succeed.

Several years after she first became a champion, she was asked if she felt like the Károlyis ever trained her excessively. Nadia felt like this was the opposite of the truth!

Clearly, this was a girl who wanted to become the best and was not taking no for an answer.
