Pak Gazette Digital communicated with Retton’s representatives to comment.
Retton, 57, was diagnosed with a “rare form of pneumonia” in 2023, with his family giving the alarm that he was “fighting for his life.” It was placed in the intensive care unit for a period of time, since doctors helped her fight the disease.
“This is serious, and this is life, and I am very grateful to be here,” said NBC’s “Today” in 2024. “I’m lucky to be here because there was a time when they were about to put a life support.”

Retton was nicknamed “America’s Sweetheart” during his winning performance of the gold medal at the 1984 summer games in Los Angeles. He was only 16 when he scored perfect 10 years in the exercise of the floor and the vault in the two final rotations to become the first American woman to win the general Olympic title.
He obtained five medals that year: one gold, two silver and two bronze.
After retiring from the gymnastics, Retton became a motivating speaker and often shared messages on the benefits of adequate nutrition and exercise.
