Mary Lou Retton Kids Quotations

I can't justify taking money away from hungry kids and needy schools to pay for the Games when corporations are willing to write the checks.

Training for the Olympics was much easier than balancing my life now! When practice was over, there was time for me. But with four kids and a career, I have no downtime. When I'm not on the road, I finish my workday at 2:30 p.m. Then I pick the kids up from school and they get 100 percent Mommy, not part Mommy and part Mary Lou Retton.

Pay-per-view would deprive many kids of the delight of seeing the Olympics.

As a kid, I was a pretty good little sprinter.
