Fox News Digital reached out to Retton\u2019s reps for comment.<\/p>\n

Retton, 57, was diagnosed with a “rare form of pneumonia” in 2023, with her family raising the alarm that she was “fighting for her life.” She was placed in the intensive care unit for a period of time as doctors helped her fight the illness.<\/p>\n

“This is serious, and this is life, and I\u2019m so grateful to be here,” she said on NBC\u2019s “Today” in 2024. “I am blessed to be here because there was a time when they were about to put me on life support.”<\/p>\n

Retton was nicknamed “America\u2019s sweetheart” during her gold medal-winning performance at the 1984 Summer Games in\u00a0Los Angeles<\/a>. She was just 16 when she scored perfect 10s in the floor exercise and vault in the final two rotations to become the first American woman to win the Olympic all-around title.<\/p>\n

She\u00a0earned five medals\u00a0that year \u2013 one gold, two silver and two bronze.<\/p>\n

After she retired from gymnastics, Retton became a motivational speaker and frequently shared messages about the benefits of proper nutrition and exercise.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She also served on the President\u2019s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports under former\u00a0President George W. Bush<\/a>.<\/p>\n
