International Women’s Day
Famous Women of the world
Nadia Comăneci is a legendary Romanian gymnast who became the first gymnast in Olympic history to score a perfect 10.0 for her routine. This historic moment happened at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, Canada, when she was just 14 years old. Nadia performed a flawless routine on the uneven bars. The judges awarded her a perfect 10, but something unexpected happened—the scoreboard showed 1.00 instead of 10.00! This was because the Omega scoreboard company had not programmed the system to display a score of 10.00, thinking it was impossible! The audience was shocked at first, but then realized she had made history. She became a gymnastics coach and international ambassador for the sport. Her grace, precision, and pioneering achievement changed gymnastics forever, making her one of the greatest athletes in Olympic history.
