Shaun White

Shaun White is widely regarded as the greatest Olympic snowboarder of all time. He won gold in the half-pipe at the 2006 Winter Olympics, scoring just three points shy of a perfect score. He had a high enough score to win gold without having to run a second time at the 2010 Olympics, but he decided to do so anyway. He came up just 1.5 points short of a perfect score this time.

Nadia Comăneci

Nadia became the first gymnast in Olympic history to receive a perfect score of 10.0 – and she did so at the age of 14! Six more perfect scores and three gold medals were awarded to her at the 1976 Montreal Olympics. Over the course of her career, she has won nine gold medals and four World Championship medals.
