The Game-Changer
After making an impression in America, Nadia took the judges’ breath away in Montreal. Her display of perfection was shown by the scores given by the judges – they gave her perfect scores of 10! But she didn’t just receive this score once, she scored it 6 more times. Nadia Comăneci became the first gymnast to receive this score at the Olympic Games.
The Game-Changer
Perfect 10
The huge crowd didn’t know what was going on when they looked at the scoreboard because it read “1.00.” The manufacturers of the scoreboard didn’t think it was possible for anyone to achieve a perfect 10 score and therefore didn’t program it to display such a score. When everyone realized that the 1.00 was actually meant to be 10.00, they rose from their seats and cheered loudly.
