I took Carly Janiga out of the list of athletes trained by the Karolyis. I have never been able to find anything to verify this and it doesn't seem possible: Janiga was born in 1988 and would have only been eight when Karolyi stopped coaching. She would have been far too young to train with Bela and Marta.Mademoiselle Sabina 17:59, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Noticed that Janiga's name was added to the list of Karolyi athletes. There seems to be a belief that she trained with him, however, once again, these points:

• 1. Janiga was only eight when Karolyi stopped coaching and closed his gym. The ages wouldn't match up. Karolyi's last elite was Dominique Moceanu.
• 2. There's absolutely nothing about it on her website, USAG, any of the articles, etc.
• 3. She attended training camps at the Karolyi ranch; as did every single other member of the US national team. If she were a former Karolyi athlete, there would have been some comment about it from Marta.
• 4. She's a national team member, but never a Worlds or Olympics medalist--ie, not notable enough to be a "top Karolyi gymnast" in the list anyway.

If there's proof to the contrary, please feel free to share it here, Mademoiselle Sabina 11:43, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
