In women's artistic gymnastics, who was the first person to be awarded a perfect score of 10.0 in Olympic history?
Show answer
Nadia Comăneci
At the 1976 Montreal Games, the scoreboard was not programmed to display four digits, so Comăneci's perfect score appeared as '1.00.' The 14-year-old Romanian gymnast went on to receive seven perfect tens during those Olympic Games.
