Nadia Comăneci achieved the first perfect 10.0 in Olympic gymnastics at the 1976 Montreal Games, at just 14 years old. The scoreboard was not even equipped to display a '10.00', showing '1.00' instead. Her groundbreaking performance earned her three gold medals at those games and forever changed the sport.
