00:00 There's concerning news today about
00:01 former Olympic gymnast Mary Lou Retton.
00:04 I want to keep that legacy going.
00:06 The 55 year old is fighting for her life
00:09 in the ICU battling a very rare form of
00:12 pneumonia that's from her daughter,
00:14 McKenna, who posted that she's
00:15 not able to breathe on her own.
00:18 McKenna's created a fund to raise
00:19 money and is asking for prayers.
00:21 He's been by Mary Lou side from 2018
00:24 when she competed on Dancing with the
00:26 Stars to back in the 80s when she became
00:29 a silver diver to win gold for the
00:31 US in individual all arounds.
00:33 I hope I'm on this high for a long time.
00:35 Really, we'll have more on ET
00:37 online and our show tomorrow.
