The first gymnast in Olympic history to score a perfect 10.0 — at age 14 at the 1976 Montreal Olympics.
Nadia Comăneci became the first gymnast in Olympic history to receive a perfect score of 10.0 at the 1976 Montreal Olympics. The scoreboard wasn't designed to display 10.0 and showed "1.00." She received seven perfect scores across those Games.
The Montreal scoreboard couldn't display 10.0 — it showed "1.00" because a perfect score had been considered impossible.
