The 25-year-old shared an update on her Instagram Story Friday to say that she was home from the hospital.
“Unfortunately nothing has changed, just on pain management,” she said of her status.
Maroney gained fame for her role on the “Fierce Five” at the 2012 London Games. She helped the U.S. win gold in the team event and she won silver on the vault. The gymnast retired in 2016 and has recently gotten into singing. She also enjoys teasing her fans on social media with videos.
