The decorated athlete's daughter confirmed the news, writing, 'Mom is HOME.' Retton was in a hospital for weeks amid a recent health scare.

Decorated U.S. Olympic champion Mary Lou Retton has been released from the hospital after a weeks-long stay for a recent health scare.

Retton was admitted into a hospital to fight a"very rare form of pneumonia," her daughter said in early October. A Spot Fund page was created to raise money for Retton's medical costs. Kelley said she would"not disclose all details" out of respect for her mother's privacy, but said she was"not able to breathe on her own."

A 55-year-old decorated U.S. Olympian, Retton won five medals at the 1984 Olympic Games held in Los Angeles, which was more than any other athlete competing.
