Olympic gymnastics champion Mary Lou Retton has pneumonia and is in intensive care in a Texas hospital.

Retton’s daughter, McKenna Kelley, shared Ms. Retton’s condition in an Instagram post on Tuesday. Ms. Kelley said 55-year-old Retton, who became the first American woman to win the Olympic all-around title, is “fighting for her life” and not able to breathe on her own.

Ms. Kelley started a fundraising campaign on Ms. Retton’s behalf for medical expenses. Ms. Kelley wrote that Ms. Retton does not currently have medical insurance.
