It is particularly remembered for the first ever Perfect 10 in Gymnastics at the Olympic Games. Nadia Comăneci of Romania, who was only 14 at the time managed a perfect score, in the compulsory team round. The scoreboard had been designed with only three digits due to the apparent impossibility of a perfect score, so at the time, it only read, "1.00". Nadia would later follow her first perfect score with two others in the optional round and the final, to finish on a perfect score of 20.
