Gymnast Speaks Out Against Karolyis

Martha and Bela Karolyi have been accused by Romanian gymnast Trudi Ebene Kollar of abusing her, back when they used to coach the Romanian women’s gymnastic team. The two-time silver medalist has come out and said that both coaches used to hit her when she would mess up during practice. The weirdest part of this entire situation, aside from the fact that these actions happened over 15 years ago, is that Bela and Martha are not denying these allegations. All Bela has said in response to this is that her memory could be a little off on the intensity of these actions. I don’t know this is definitely really weird and random. If they did really hit her as a means of coaching, I wonder if there are other gymnasts who will speak out about it as well. Every time the Karolyi’s are showed are on television they appear to be nice. Who knows, maybe it’s just for show.
