The Perfect 10! At just 14 years old, Romanian gymnast Nadia Comăneci stunned the world at the 1976 Montreal Olympics by scoring the first perfect 10 in Olympic gymnastics history. Born in Onești, Romania, Comăneci delivered a flawless routine on the uneven bars that judges deemed untouchable. The scoreboard, not built to show double digits, lit up “1.00” instead. Confusion turned to awe. Nadia went on to earn six more perfect 10s at those Games, taking home three gold medals and becoming a global sensation. From that moment, the world knew her by first name alone. Photos by Ken Regan / American Broadcasting Companies GloriousSport.com Elevating women’s sport through the lens of art and culture.
