Former gymnast Mary Lou Retton was charged with driving under the influence in West Virginia this month, according to court records.

Retton, the legendary Olympic gymnast, was arrested May 17, according to the records, filed in Marion County Magistrate Court. It was not clear what happened.

The Fairmont Police Department and the Marion County Sheriff’s Office did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Retton, 57, posted a $1,500 bond, according to online records. A representative for Retton did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Retton became the first American woman to win an Olympic individual all-around gold medal when she edged out Romania’s Ecaterina Szabo in the 1984 Summer Games in Los Angeles.

That golden moment cemented her fame as one of the country’s most famous gymnasts. She was the first female athlete depicted on a Wheaties box.

Last year, she said she faced “death in the eyes” while in intensive care in 2023 with a life-threatening bout of pneumonia. After she left the hospital, she required the help of a nasal oxygen tube to breathe, and she said she was dealing with ongoing health issues.

Months later, Retton told NBC News that doctors “still don’t know” exactly what illness continues to affect her lungs.

“They’re calling it a rare form of pneumonia,” she said last year.
