SEVEN PERFECT SCORES

The Olympic Games Montreal 1976 was a momentous year for one young Romanian gymnast. At just 14 years old she won three Olympic gold medals and was awarded the maximum score of 10.0 for seven of her performances. As this was the first time a perfect 10 had ever been given in the history of women’s gymnastics, the new video matrix scoreboards displayed the score as 1.00.
