10 Perfect Score in a Gymnastics Event
Perfect 10
Gymnastics is constantly getting more and more difficult and more advanced. Ever since the first perfect 10.00 score in 1976, gymnastics has been getting harder, yet the 10.00 score stayed the same. Eventually, it was realized that at some point 10.00 would no longer be that nearly impossible score, because the gymnastics skills had come up so far that the average was a perfect 10.00. So, with the new system of scoring, gymnastics can continually get more advanced without ever going too far. Gymnasts have a starting score according to the moves and difficulty of their routine, and are scored on how they compared to their starting score. It is hard for those of us who watch gymnastics to have to say good-bye to that perfect 10.00, but it will be better for the long run.
