It’s Thanksgiving time, and LSU gymnast?Olivia Dunne, aka Livvy, has lots to be grateful for this year! Apart from her monetary gains, the 21-year-old New Jersey-born remained the highest-earning female collegiate athlete this year. She began her journey as a 3-year-old, later homeschooled girl who devoted most of her time to?gymnastics. This year, she finished sixth in her last NCAA Championships participation, where LSU Tigers placed fourth.

In addition,?Olivia and LSU baseball player Paul Skenes became the beloved college sweethearts. As the Thanksgiving posts flooded the internet, Dunne chimed along to show who she owed her thanks to!

Olivia Dunne turns thankful.

In a heartfelt Thanksgiving update,?Dunne shared an adorable collage on her Instagram story. Livvy’s mains- family, gymnastics, her dog Roux, and her boyfriend Skenes made it to the frame. She captioned it,?“LOTs to be thankful for,”?with a red heart and turkey emoji. The biggest space was covered by Olivia’s fellow LSU gymnasts, a total of three pictures of Dunne posing with two groups, including an official Tiger team picture with a special casual-dressed picture adoring Elena Marena.

Connected to Marena, who also happened to be mutual acquaintances with her now boyfriend, appeared in a selfie clicked by Livvy. It looks like the capture is from Skenes LSU game day since he wore his grey jersey with the college logo. Next, she put a cute picture with Roux lying on a white mattress, where her snow-white dog is almost camouflaged.

She shared a picture of her ardent supporters, her parents, David and Katherine Dunne. The sweet picture captured the trio hugged tightly while beaming with joy. Finally, the one with her sister Julz was from their Italy family vacation, where Livvy tightly hugged her sister while she smiled, posing for the camera.

Why couldn’t the gymnast fully commit to the sport?

Although Dunne’s year looked perfect, owning to her NIL collabs and illustrious Forbes mention, an injury kept her away from her sport. In season 2022-23, Livvy barely appeared in collegiate meets despite attending to cheer for her team. She suffered a leg injury again in the Arkansas meet when head coach Clark only hoped she returned on uneven bars if not floor routine.
