Mary Lou Retton
Mary Lou Retton is a celebrated American gymnast, best known for her remarkable performance at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, where she became the first American woman to win the Olympic all-around title, securing a total of five medals: one gold, two silver, and two bronze.
