In gymnastics, a perfect score is considered a 10.0. Historically, this score represented a flawless routine without any deductions. However, with the introduction of the Code of Points, scoring systems have evolved. Judges evaluate the performance based on difficulty and execution, increasing the maximum possible score well above 10.0, though achieving a perfect 10 remains iconic. Gymnasts strive for precision and artistic presentation in their routines, as each error can lead to deductions, emphasizing the significance of perfection in the sport.
