It was because of her that gymnastics became more widely known around the world. She was the first gymnast in history to receive a perfect 10.0. As a result of this performance, she not only received a perfect score but also earned six additional points and three gold medals in total. She won two more gold medals at the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow, where she scored two more perfect scores.
