MONTREAL — Forty years ago, Romania's Nadia Comaneci was the first Olympic gymnast to earn a perfect 10.0 score.

Comaneci earned the perfect score on her uneven bars at the 1976 Montreal Summer Olympics.

Because of the scoring methods used today, there will not be any perfect 10s.

Needham native Aly Raisman won the silver medal today in the all-around competition. Texas-native Simone Biles took home the gold.

WARNING: Spoiler ANOTHER MEDAL for Aly Raisman! We are so proud of our hometown athletes! See photos from today's competition: http://fox25.com/2bm27JU
