Gymnast Mary Lou Retton, who captured America's attention while winning the gold medal in the women's all-around at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, is in intensive care and "fighting for her life" in a Texas hospital, her daughter said Tuesday on social media.
Retton has "a very rare form of penumonia," Retton's daughter, McKenna Kelley, posted to Instagram story on Tuesday, and "is not able to breathe on her own."
Kelley said Retton, 55, has been in intensive care for more than a week.
Kelley started a fundraising campaign on Retton's behalf for medical expenses.
