    She’d rather take from stupid strangers than support libruhl policies.

    Olympic champion gymnast Mary Lou Retton walked away with a cool $2 million in her 2018 divorce, court papers exclusively reviewed by DailyMail.com reveal.

    She was also expected to collect around $2 million more in compensation after a legal spat with the manufacturer of her two metal hip replacements.

    The revelations cast more doubt on why the five-time gold medal winner had no health insurance when she was struck down with a rare form of pneumonia and why her family resorted to begging for cash online to bail her out.

    Mary Lou Retton got $2M from 2018 divorce and maybe millions more in lawsuit over her double hip replacement - yet the Olympic gymnast still raised $500k to cover medical costs after near-death battle with pneumonia | Daily Mail Online

    Nadia Comăneci, on the other hand, took her Olympics success as a path to build a solid life afterward, and I've always admired who she became as an adult. Hope there are no skeletons in her closet, because she was so inspirational then and now.

    And, if you're keeping a scorebook at home:
    Nadia is a 6 on one scale, and a 10 on all the others!

    I crushed on Nadia back in the day, but it was age appropriate as she is just 18 months younger than me.
