18 July 1976 - A ROMANIAN GYMNAST PERFORMS A FLAWLESS OLYMPIC ROUTINE:
Romanian gymnast Nadia Comaneci, 14, is rewarded for her Montreal
Olympics uneven bars routine with the unprecedented score of a perfect
10. The first perfect score in modern Olympics history stuns the sports
world and will catapult Comaneci to international fame.

five-time Olympic gold medalist, all in individual events. In 1976, at
the age of 14, Comaneci was the first gymnast to be awarded a perfect
score of 10.0 at the Olympic Games. At the same Games (1976 Summer
Olympics in Montreal) she received six more perfect 10s for events en
route to winning three gold medals. At the 1980 Summer Olympics in
Moscow, Comaneci won two more gold medals and achieved two more perfect
10s. During her career Comaneci won nine Olympic medals and four World
