Nadia Comaneci

In the gymnastics event at the 1976 Montreal Olympics, she scored a perfect 10 at the event, which was never done before. In fact, nobody expected a gymnast to be able to achieve the perfect 10 and so there was only space for one digit on the scoreboard.

When the judges conferred and gave their verdict, the picture became one of the most iconic images in athletics.
