Bela Karolyi, who coached gymnasts with his wife, Martha, for 30-plus years, including Olympic all-around gold medalists Nadia Comaneci and Mary Lou Retton, and whose training methods some pupils said went too far, died Friday at age 82, according to USA Gymnastics.

 

Comaneci and other gymnasts who trained under Karolyi posted about his death on social media.

 

“A big impact and influence in my life,” Comaneci wrote. “RIP Bela Karolyi.”

 

“Dear Bela, i had the opportunity to train with you, i had the privilege to be around you, your athletes and your family,” wrote Svetlana Boginskaya, a Belarus native who won Olympic gold in 1988 and 1992 before being coached by Karolyi. “I took away positive experience in every possible way. We laughed, we cried, we talked ( and oh boy you are the talker ) and you made the best and strongest Margarita’s🍹 You will be missed by so many of us… Rest in peace.”

 

“Bela Karolyi was a man whose influence on my life and the sport of elite gymnastics is undeniably significant,” wrote Dominique Moceanu, a member of the 1996 U.S. Olympic champion team. “He was a complex individual, embodying a mix of strengths and flaws that left a lasting impact on those around him. Anyone who has followed my story knows that my journey under Bela’s guidance as my coach came with immense challenges. His harsh words and critical demeanor often weighed heavily on me. While our relationship was fraught with difficulty, some of these moments of hardship helped me forge and define my own path. As we bid farewell to Bela, I choose to send loving thoughts to his family and loved ones, and honor our relationship by embracing lessons learned and striving to help create a world where compassion and encouragement guide our actions. May he rest in peace.”
