The 1976 Summer Olympics were held in Montreal, Canada, and were significantly affected by a boycott led by more than twenty African nations protesting a New Zealand rugby tour of apartheid South Africa. The Games left Montreal with a large construction debt that took decades to repay. Romanian gymnast Nadia Comaneci scored the first perfect 10 in Olympic gymnastics history, a result the scoreboard was not even designed to display.
