Olivia Dunne is taking her fans through her floor, beam, and bar tricks ahead of the College gymnastics competition season. Moreover, the ‘beam queen’ has kept the world on its toes with her sharp landings. Early next year, on Jan 5, 2024, as LSU goes against Ohio State University, her skills would be very crucial for the win. But the 21-year-old has faced some tumbles previously.

Wobbly landings, half-hearted routines, and failed mid-air flips are some errors that the gymnasts make. But besides these, a technical issue is the most common across all sporting realms. On a similar note, in an old video that resurfaced, Olivia Dunne’s unexpectedly awkward situation was uncalled for.

The caption went like Having to recatch your breath whenever you have to restart is the worst.In the video, the 21-year-old stood prepared to embark on her stellar floor journey, but the music was not willing to support her.

The in-video text reads, When the floor music doesn’t work“. Though the trainers and the village behind the gymnasts keep everything on check, a technical complication can be the worst nightmare.

When one fan questioned, How excited are you for everyone returning and all the newcomers added to the roster, there came a strong answer. “So excited!! We’ve all grown so close this pre-season and all super excited to get startedwas the answer. Naturally, the 21-year-old will play a pivotal role this time.
