Records
Daniela Silivaș's competitive record is staggering. She is the only female gymnast to have medaled in every event at a single Olympics, a feat that has stood since 1988. Her 24 perfect 10s, including seven at Seoul, tie Nadia Comăneci's Olympic record. She also became the first gymnast to win Olympic and World titles on three different apparatuses, a record later matched only by Simone Biles. Her technical innovations, like the Silivas skill, continue to shape the sport.
