NO MORE PERFECT TEN FOR GYMNASTS!



Nadia Comaneci thrilled with world with the first ever perfect TEN in 1976 in Montreal. If the new rules had been applied back then ....she would have been famous for getting the first perfect 17...or is it 15. Doesn't sound as nice as a perfet ten...but I'm sure there must have been much discussion before this change. The electronic boards weren't equipt to flash a ten...so nadia got a 1:00 instead.
What do these two gymnast have in common...along with Mary Lou Retton? They're all trained by Bela Karoli.
