Second Book: also included in this auction is a paperback book titled... Mary Lou: Creating an Olympic Champion ... by Mary Lou Retton and Bela Karolyi with John Powers ... The firsthand story of the seventeen-year-old who captured worldwide attention by winning the first American gold medal in women's gymnastics also recounts the life of her defected Romanian coach. At the 1984 Olympics, Mary Lou Retton became the first American woman ever to win a gold medal in gymnastics. At her side was Bela Karolyi, the dynamic emigre Romanian coach who discovered Nadia Comaneci. This is their story, as only they can tell it. Mary Lou is the bouncy, enormously energetic girl-next-door from West Virginia. In this book, she talks about her childhood and her career in gymnastics. Bela also comes from a small coal mining town, this one in Transylvania. After coaching the Romanian team to gold medal performances at the 1976 and 1980 Olympics, he and his wife defected to the United States and set up a gymnastics school in Houston. When Mary Lou outgrew the local program, she and her parents sought out Karolyi. Mary Lou then left home to train with him. Two stories thus become one; two American dreams culminated in UCLA's Pauley pavilion. As millions of TV viewers looked on, the gold medal came down to the vault. To win, Mary Lou needed a perfect 10. She threw not one but two, electrifying the world. .... Paperback, Publisher: Dell, ISBN: 044015508-8; Publication Year: 1986; 199 pages with b&w photos...
