Five-time Olympic gold medalist Nadia Comaneci made history at the 1976 Montreal Summer Olympics by becoming the first gymnast to earn a perfect score of 10 at the Olympic Games.
The then-14-year-old Romanian's achievement was so rare at the time that the scoreboards in Montreal displayed 1.00, unable to program the perfect 10.0 score.
United States gymnast Mary Lou Retton also recorded perfection, earning 10s on the floor exercise and the vault at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics.
The International Gymnastics Federation changed its 10-based scoring system in 2006, eliminating the possibility of a perfect 10. Here's a look at the highest-scoring Olympic gymnastics routines since the scoring change.
