"Athletes must fuel their bodies for ultimate performance," says Retton, all-around gold medal gymnast. "You are what you eat, and Wheaties provides nutrition for an active lifestyle."

Talk about achievement, Retton also won the 1984 U.S. National Championship, two American Classic and three American Cup Titles. Not only is she the only woman to win three consecutive American Cups, she's also honored in the International Gymnastics Hall of Fame and remains one of America's most popular athletes.

Prestigious Honor: The Box

But, what about appearing on the Wheaties box? "It was always, and still is, one of the most prestigious honors bestowed on me," she says. Welcome home, Mary Lou.
