Hecklers In The Crowd
The world got to know the talented young gymnast once again. Nadia Comăneci was so determined and focused that she did not even notice all the hecklers in the audience. Intoxicated Russian soldiers went as low as to shout, “Fall, Nadia! Fall!” Even though she did not train as much as she could have for the competition, she still managed to bag four medals. She earned two golds and two silvers!
Unfair Scoring
Nadia impressed the world once more with her impeccable performance, but there was controversy yet again. Bela Karolyi, her coach, noticed that it was taking conspicuously long for the judges to present his student’s score. When they showed up, he did not think it was what she deserved. He made a big fuss about it, which was shown on air. Apparently, his behavior humiliated the country, and he started to worry about his safety when it was time to go home.
