		Bela was the showman and the promoter, but he would have been a lost puppy without Martha.

		With a Karolyi kept in the job, coaches and athletes also retained access to the family's 2,000-acre ranch, which was designated in 2001 as the national women's training center.

	Bela Karolyi - By David Plotz - Slate Magazine
		In 1996, Karolyi assured the immortality of the "Magnificent Seven" women's team when he told Kerri Strug to vault on a gimpy leg, then scooped her up and carried her to the podium to collect her gold medal.
		Karolyi, the David Koresh of the gymnastics cult, is one of the very few folks to successfully reconcile the values of Eastern bloc communism and American capitalism.
		Bela may seem like a mean old man to the tiny athletes he coaches, but it needs to be remembered that he can be compared to an extremely successful businessman.

		Karolyi couldn't wait to let you know what a fine job of rescue he had done to lift the team as high as it had been or to suggest how much higher it might have been if the patient had not been so far gone before he was brought in to consult.
		And on Karolyi went, talking about the coaches, who he doesn't think motivate; the gymnasts, who he doesn't think are focused; the system, which he thinks is too crowded; the age group, which he thinks is too old; and fourth place, which he thinks is lousy.
		Karolyi talked long into the evening about how frustrated he was in the stands, suggesting the team might have medaled if he had been on the floor.
