‘84 Olympics is the first one I remember. Was in Europe for most of it, perhaps that’s why it stands out.

That’s what we always think of about her.
Unlike that anti-America, purple-haired, lesbian skank who kicked some ball around.

Maybe it happened to Mary Lou Retton, but I don’t remember that.
Mary Lou didn’t have any sort of injury issues during the Olympics like Strug had. Mary Lou just stuck a bunch of perfect 10s with a beaming smile that brought down the house. She was awesome in ‘84.

She was a motivational speaker, and now she lives in a van down by the river and eats government cheese? How could this be?
To: Wally_Kalbacken
Usually mental illness or substance abuse or both. Not sure of her situation, however.

Yes, she was injured. That winning jump was won by her landing on only one foot.

Rush had many many millions of dollars. He took care of his healthcare bills just fine.

That was Kerrie Strug in ‘96. I promise you it was Strug. I watched both girls.

*She was a great gymnast and she represented the U.S. well. Always appeared to be enjoying her craft with her million dollar smile.*
It was that WINNING smile that won me over. Made me proud to be an American and I’m ni flag waver. 1984 Reagan did a pretty good job too.

I couldn’t find her age in the story so I searched it. She is 55.

I almost died from viral pneumonia in May. My doc, who had been prescribing Ivermectin for 2 years refused to administer it when I was in the ICU. Ultimately, I was sent home to die, with an Oxygen machine that didn’t work.
Give her IVM! Weeks after my release, while on a 25 foot tether to an Oxygen machine that DID work, I began the 5 day Early Outpatient Treatment Protocol advised by the FLCCC Alliance. After 3 double doses of IVM over 24 hours, I no longer needed the Oxygen machine and felt good enough to shower, dress and drive 35 minutes to my employer to get back on the work schedule.
I had dropped 65 pounds...down to 130...so, could barely make it through my first day back on the job. Fortunately, my virtual weekend began the following day and I began eating Oscar Mayer Smokies in hot dog buns every time I woke up...and am now up to 180 pounds (6’ 2” tall).
Without IVM, I would still be tethered to an Oxygen machine that cost $1,000 per month.
