At the Montreal Olympics, Romanian gymnast Nadia Comaneci scored the first “10” in Olympic history with her flawless performance of the compulsory exercise on the uneven bars. The scoreboard displayed a “1.00” because it couldn’t go up to “10.” Comaneci had seven total perfect scores and won five medals, including the gold for all-around performance. Four months previous to the Olympics, Comaneci had earned the first perfect score in international gymnastics competition history.
