In 1984, Mary Lou Retton blew everyone away with her historic performance at the Olympic Games in Los Angeles. It turned her into a global superstar! She also made history as the first American to bring home an individual gold medal in the sport. This was done by achieving a 10 in two events: floor and vault. In 1985, she secured the American Cup in Indianapolis. As if those things were not impressive enough, she was also the first gymnast to make it to the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame.
