Emily+Mary+Lou+Retton

My hero:is Mary Lou Retton



What fame has Mary Lou remembered now? Mary Lou Retton has had a lot of fame for gymnastics. She has gotten a perfect 10 after Nadia Comaneci. She followed her footsteps. Even though Nadia is one of my heros too, Mary Lou was a perfect gymnast. She worked so hard and now she is my role model. I see that she tried hard in practice and did well in meets. Mary Lou has starred in many shows. She has gotten interviewed a lot too. She has been a lot of commericals too. Retton has gone to the summer olymics too! And even got a skill named after her. If you do a skill NO ONE has done before, ever, in a meet then they name that skill after you. It is very cool.

What did Mary do in her gymnastics life? Mary Lou has had injuries like all other gymnasts. She was competing on floor when she hurt her knee. She had knee surgery and the doctor said that she could not compete in the olympics. Mary Lou replied "I have made it this far. No one is going to keep me from trying." I am glad that Mary Lou did the summer olympics
