I believe it was somewhere around 1948.
Nadia Comaneci has scored a perfect ten seven times.
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.
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.
Nadia Comaneci, in 1976.
to win the Olympic gold to represent her country
nobody else did, so far or before her!- I think Nastia has some unfairl opions about her not scoring a perfect 10.......THAT DOESNT MATTER! Ever heard of Mary Lou Retton...? She also scored an olympic perfect ten. Nadia is not the only one. Ther are plenty of gymnasts, both male and female, who have scored 10's between 1976 and 1992 Olympics. Check out the IOC results webpage or better still try having a look at the FIG results page and they will give you all th details.

Probably Nadia Comaneci because she was the first gymnast to ever score a perfect ten!
