El marcador anotaba 1.00. Nadie entendía qué pasaba. Nadia Comaneci acababa de terminar su rutina en las barras asimétricas. Le bastaron 20 segundos para obtener el primer 10 perfecto en la historia de los Juegos. El marcador sólo tenía tres dígitos y mostraba un 1.00 porque no había espacio para el 10. “Alcanzar el primer 10 de la historia era importantísimo, pero el hecho de que incluso un marcador electrónico no pudiera mostrar ese puntaje lo hizo aun más histórico”, dijo Comaneci en una entrevista a Reuters. Nadia tenía 14 años.

In October '77, I was invited to photograph Nadia Comaneci during her practice session for an appearance at the Hartford Civic Center. If you're old enough, you'll never forget the multiple perfect 10 scores she received at the '76 Olympics, which showed up as the single digit "1" on the scoreboard (there was no provision for a ten). Here she is waiting on the sidelines, keeping limber with the occasional twist or stretch. This is my favorite of these two shots.
La rumana debutó en 1971 en la gimnasia artística con tan sólo 10 años y se retiró en 1981. Es considerada una de las mejores deportistas de la historia, con 5 oros Olímpicos, 2 Mundiales y 9 Europeos.
