Was just wondering if anyone has ever done
the "Nadia Comaneci" thing and gotten an overall 10
as a final score for a challenge?

I don't think anybody on DP has done that. I've seen a few photographers get mid to high 8's...but that's about it.

She was the first gymnast ever to score a perfect 10 in competition. In Calgary, if I recall.

She did in gymnastics what Jane Torvill and Christopher Dean did in figure scating in 1984...

Calgary had winter games in 1988, this must have been Montreal, 1976.

She actually lives very near me. Bart Conner built a gymnastics school in Norman, Oklahoma and they both live here and teach. I have run into them several times.

I'm guessing that's impossible but I could see an image get a 9 average one day, if it's totally original and made the cover of Life magazine or something. :P

Nadia Elena Comaneci is a Romanian gymnast, winner of five Olympic gold medals, and the first to be awarded a perfect score of 10 in an Olympic gymnastic event.

You are correct. I looked it up, it was Montreal. ;-)

One of several right? Also, the cheap score display they had at the time couldn't even display a 10.00 so it showed it as 1.00

Yes. She received seven 10's in Montreal. While suffering from sciatica. So I suppose it would take seven 10 scores from a mostly blind photographer to qualify as the "Nadia" thing on DPC? ;-)

I smacked my knee against my desk earlier so lets pretend that covers the sciatica. Now I just need to work on the perfect scores... :P
