Probably Nadia Comaneci because she was the first gymnast to ever score a perfect ten!
Nadia Comaneci has scored a perfect ten seven times.
Nadia Comaneci, in 1976.
You're thinking of Nadia Comaneci I bet, but she's Romanian...not Russian. Soviet Nelli Kim scored the second perfect ten in Olympic competition seconds after Comaneci did, if that helps. But probably not what you were looking for.
Nadia Comaneci!
Before the new scoring system came along, a ten was the best score you could get on any gymnastics event. It was rare. I'm pretty sure Nadia Comaneci won 2: one on uneven bars and one on beam. Another gymnast, i think it was Mary Lou Retten, won one on vault.
Nadia Comaneci. She has received seven perfect ten's.
The first gymnast to receive a perfect ten outside and within the Olympics was Nadia Comaneci from Romania. She is currently a legal citizen of the United States.
The first gymnast to gain the first ever Perfect 10 was Nadia Comaneci. Who was from the country of Romania. She was 14 years old at the time. She scored the perfect ten not once, but seven times during the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, Canada. Nadia now lives in the state of Oklahoma and is married to Olympic gymnast Bart Connor.
