Mckenna Kelley – Mary Lou Retton And Shannon Kelley’ s Daughter

After getting her time in the spotlight, Olympic gold medalist Mary Lou Retton is now passing on the torch to her 23-year-old daughter Mckenna Kelley. Retton was not only the first American woman to win the all-around gold medal at the Olympics, but also the only one to do so for about twenty years. Like her mother, Mckenna also decided to follow the gymnastics route, all while pursuing her degree at Louisiana State University.

Mckenna, along with her three sisters, started training for gymnastics at a young age, with the support of their athlete mother. Although Mary Lou never put pressure on her girls, three of them still pursued the same path as her. The other went into cheerleading, an equally competitive sport. With the skills her children are displaying, we won’t be surprised if they come out on top, too. After all, their training begins at home and they’re receiving it from the best.
