Coach who guided Comaneci to her Perfect 10 dies aged 82

The ethnic Hungarian from Romania coached Comaneci to gold at the 1976 Montreal Olympics and the 1980 Moscow Games.

He later defected with his wife and fellow coach Marta to the United States in 1981 and coached American Mary Lou Retton to gold at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics.

"A big impact and influence in my life. RIP Bela Karolyi," wrote Comaneci on her Instagram page, along with a black and white photo of them together in her youth.

"Almost 50 years ago he guided me to the historic performance of the first Perfect 10 in the Olympics... and that changed my life forever," Comaneci told USA Today of Karolyi, who died Friday.
