Bela's champions.

Bela Karolyi and Martha Karolyi are my favorite coaches, in gymnastics. I know people don't like them, because they think Bela and Martha push their athletes to much, but I think they are doing the right thing. Just think about it: they have produced SO many champions, so what they are doing must be right. Sure, they have to be tough on their gymnasts and that's what every elite gymnast coaches do, even if you don't know and even if it doesn't show. Some rumors say that Martha starves her athletes. Well, I wonder where they get all that energy from, if they're starving! If it was that bad, to Karolyi's, then all the gymnasts would have quit! It's simple. If you want to go to a high level, in gymnastics, you have to make sacrifices and one of those is hard training.

These are all the great gymnasts Bela Karolyi and Martha Karolyi have trained. Nadia Comaneci, Mary Lou Retton, Kim Zmeskal, Dominique Moceanu and Kerri Strug.

Maybe he was (maybe he wasnt) the worlds best coach as some profess BUT couldnt he do something about Strug's shitty form??? like on beam @ 04:19 and her compulsory dismount off the bars !!!! uch y veeeeee

[Daphnouune1696]

@garyj79 I know right! I always thought Kerry had bad form especially on beam and I wondered why Bela and Marta didn't fix that;p

[Beccka]

Just because he trained a lot of gymnasts does not make Bela's methods "right.".

[Daphnouune1696]

@Beccka Well it must be right because he has the most successful amount of gymnasts that any gymnastics coaches ever had.

I love the montage bela looks so different from the beggining of it to the end lol love vela at 0:46 !!!!

[Daphnouune1696]

@alysia700 Thank you, I love Bela too :)

This man is a true asset to the gymnastics world. Yes, he is tough, but that's what it takes. To have so many gymnast do so well is an attribute so his skills. And you can tell that when they do well, he is one of the happiest people on the planet for them. And when they don't do so well he is also there for them with a kind word and a hug. I truely believe he grows to feel like these girls are his own children. He's just one big proud Papa

Bela didn't starve anyone. Gymnasts take in around 3000 calories a day to be able to work out the hours they do. thank you for finally making a PRO BELA montage! : )

@Daphnouune1696 - do not get me STARTED on their choreo choice !!!!! and im talking about Nadia Comaneci aswell there! she was not choreographed that well in comparison to the Soviets @ the time.....

[LigafanPotteriana]

Instead, I think they DON'T push so much the athletes and that's why they have produced so many champions! All their champions love them, so I don't think they were pushed in training!

[gymnasts119]

[dalmationham]

You forgot mills and kristy and Betty, and Gomez

[jrlassiter]

I'd have included Olympic champion Julianne Mcnamara in this montage. As for Zmeskal and Moceanu and Strug ....they only won team medals. Lesser champions IMHO.
