Nadia Comaneci of Romania. It was in the Uneven parallel bars.
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.
Four
She was a gymnast. She won 3 golds, 1 silver and 1 bronze. She also put up the first ever perfect 10 score.
Gymnast Tweddle has not yet won any Olympic medals.
Probably Nadia Comaneci because she was the first gymnast to ever score a perfect ten!
Albert Sequin was the first in 1924
me
you won't earn any money as a level ten gymnast!
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.
The first AMERICAN gymnast to score a perfect '10' was Mitch Gaylord in 1984
Yes, she was ten years a competitive gymnast.
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.
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 gymnast easily performed a perfect handspring.
Nadia Comaneci was the first gymnast to score a perfect 10 in Olympic competition.
