Superstar Olympic Gymnast Is Fighting For Her Life
Olympic champion Mary Lou Retton ‘Fighting For Her Life’ in ICU. Olympic gold medalist Mary Lou Retton is battling life-threatening pneumonia, according to her family.
Her daughter, McKenna Kelley says the 55-year-old gymnastics great is unable to breathe on her own and is “fighting for her life” in the ICU.
Kelley says her mother is uninsured and has set up a SpotFund account to help pay for her medical bills.
WOWK-TV in West Virginia says Retton became an American icon during the 1984 Summer Olympics when she became the first U.S. gymnast to win all-around gold, along with perfect ’10’ scores in the floor and vault. She is considered one of West Virginia’s most famous athletes of all time and has a road and park named after her in her hometown of Fairmont.
