Mary Lou Retton, a legendary gymnast who made history at the 1984 Summer Olympics, is now fighting for her life in the ICU due to a rare form of pneumonia. Her daughter, McKenna Kelly, shared the news on Instagram, noting that Retton cannot breathe on her own and has been in the hospital for over a week. Kelly revealed that her mother is uninsured and hospital bills are mounting, prompting her to set up a fund and ask for prayers and financial support.
Retton, who retired from gymnastics in 1986, has continued to influence the sport and appeared in various TV shows. She was inducted into the International Gymnastics Hall of Fame, cementing her legacy in American sports history.
