She Was The First Women To Get A Perfect Score At The Olympics Yet She Remains Forgotten

Bela pushed Nadia to train every day for 3 hours straight and sometimes even more. Fortunately, Nadia lived right next to Béla’s gymnastics school, so she didn’t have to travel a long way for practice. During her first amateur competition, Nadia faced a lot of trouble with landing after performing the elements.

But Béla never gave up on her and encouraged her to continue practising. Eventually, her landing improved drastically, and her form began to pick up. Nadia’s determination and Béla’s faith made her the gymnastics star she is today.
