1 / 7 perfect tens so far
Uneven bars: 10.00. The first of seven perfect tens.
01 / 18 VII
The first perfect ten is on bars.
On the first day, Nadia scores 10 on bars. Her other three scores are 9.70 on vault, 9.90 on beam and 9.75 on floor. Change the apparatus: the full competition tells more than one image of the scoreboard.
02 / 19 VII
Two more. On two apparatus.
The optional routines bring a ten on bars and another on beam. The count reaches three. There are no women’s sessions on 20 July in the results chronology.
03 / 21 VII
An all-around title spans four apparatus.
In the all-around final, bars and beam receive another ten each. Floor scores 9.90 and vault 9.85. The final total of 79.275 also includes the qualifying carryover; it is not simply the sum of that day’s four routines.
04 / 22 VII
Four on bars. Three on beam.
The last two perfect tens come in the apparatus finals. None of the seven is on floor or vault. Nadia ends the Games with five medals: three gold, one silver and one bronze. Scores and medals count different things.

In the 1976 apparatus finals: half the sum of the two qualifying routines, plus the final routine. Olympedia.
05 / Sport and movement
What exactly does a record measure?
An announced altitude can differ from the value reported as homologated. A trophy total depends on the competitions included and the date of the count. Keep the definition beside the result.
06 / Sport and movement
What does your body do when you move?
Walking exchanges energy at every step. The Achilles tendon stores and returns some mechanical work. These models and measurements explain movement; they do not prescribe a training plan.
07 / Sport and movement
Choose what to try next.
A chess move, a stone skipped across water, a ski slope or a walking route. Game rules and conditions on the ground matter: check the date of practical information before setting out.
