  I just submitted Mary Lou: Creating an Olympic Champion by Mary Lou 
Retton, Bela Karolyi and John powers.
  In the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles, a nation watched Mary Lou Retton 
flip, somersault and tumble her way to a gold medal.  She became an 
over-night sensation.  But how did she get there?  How did this small-girl 
from a West Virginia mining town get to the Olympics? How did Bela Karolyi, 
the Romanian coach who trained Nadia Comaneci in Romania and later to train 
other Olympic champions get the opportunity to train Retton?   In 
alternating chapters, this tells the story of Mary Lou Retton and how Bela 
Karolyi became her coach.
