Author Cornel Vena was just a teenager when World War II ended,
changing life in the tiny Transylvanian village of his childhood
forever. A ruthless Bolshevik army swarmed over the land, and his
family faced an uncertain future living under a communist regime.
But it soon became clear that the country was keen to promote its
athletic prowess on an international stage, offering a glimmer of
hope to the young man. If Cornel could shoot, ride, fence, run, and
swim well enough, he might be able to find freedom. Success in the
sporting arena offered better conditions for athletes and priceless
opportunities to escape the constraints of communism; however, the
athletes who survived the intense training regimen could not fail.
An entire country counted on them to succeed, and losing was not
tolerated. The weak would be punished, and those who succeeded
would be rewarded. Join Cornel as he prepares to confront
superhuman physical challenges in this inspiring true story of one
man's quest for freedom, set against the backdrop of the 1956
Olympic Games. Romanians, history students and athletes alike will
find important lessons that continue to resonate today in "Barbed
Circles: The Perfect Score."
