Mary Lou Retton’s partner on the hit show Dancing With the Stars reveals that he’s been in contact with the legendary gymnast during her health crisis. Despite her struggles, he remains hopeful that she will overcome this challenge. Sasha Farber, in an interview with Entertainment Tonight, states, “I’ve been speaking to her today, and she’s fighting. Although she may feel like giving up, I send her videos of her dancing and remind her that she is one-of-a-kind. She can do this!” Farber and Retton formed a close bond during their time together on the 27th season of the reality competition series.
Farber expresses his confidence in Retton’s resilience, calling her a fighter. He goes on to say, “I know her very well. She’s like family to me. She’s strong.” Additional support is coming for Retton, as the US Olympic and Paralympic Committee has stepped in to offer financial assistance. As reported by USA Today, Retton’s family is crowdfunding to cover her medical bills, and the committee is expediting the application process to help them. A spokesperson states, “The USOPC supports the United States Olympians & Paralympians Relief Fund to offer aid to US Olympians and Paralympians facing significant hardships.
