When Nadia was only 6 years old, she was enjoying her recess at school with some friends. Walking by the school yard were Béla and Márta Károlyi – a married couple who were both gymnastic coaches and frequently scouted for young talent. They noticed Nadia and a friend doing cartwheels with impeccable form and decided that they had to speak to the girls about joining their gym.
