In addition to her Olympic prowess, Retton is widely known for helping transform the world of gymnastics and inspiring countless young athletes. Her current situation has sent a ripple of concern across the global gymnastic community.
While fans were justifiably worried, Retton did her best to reassure everyone. She ‘regrammed’ her daughter’s post, letting everyone know that she is okay and just needs a bit of rest. Her powerful will and optimistic outlook are characteristics that have defined Retton’s career and personal life.
