An Unbeatable Record
Only four months later, Nadia blew the judges away with her faultless performances at the Summer Olympics. In fact, she was so impressive that the judges awarded her with a perfect score of 10! And as if that wasn’t enough, she went on to receive another six perfect 10 scores! Nadia Comăneci became the first gymnast in history to receive such a score.

A Perfect 10
The crowd didn’t understand what had happened. They all read “1.00” as Nadia’s score, but they knew it couldn’t be right. The digital scoreboard wasn’t programmed to be able to display a perfect 10 score since it was thought to be impossible to achieve. Applause rocked the crowd when they realized the true result.
