Perfect Tens
As Nadia Comăneci continued her winning streak, the international gymnastics community began to buzz excited about her exceptional talent and what it might mean for the upcoming Olympics. Comăneci exuded confidence, but the uncertainty of facing the world’s most highly skilled and well-practiced gymnasts on the grandest stage loomed in the background.
Little did anyone anticipate the historical moment in Montréal during the summer of 1976. In her debut event, Comăneci received the first-ever perfect ten score at an Olympic Games. She achieved this flawless score in each subsequent event, amassing six perfect tens. The world watched in astonishment as she pushed the boundaries of gymnastics excellence to unprecedented heights.
