When already talking about her retirement in the purple leotard circling in the gymnastics communities, Olivia Dunne [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/olivia-dunne/] seems to enjoy the time to the fullest. In her post-victory celebration, Olivia Dunne clarified that, claiming, “100% chance of purple reign [emoji]” [https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-gymnastics-news-bringing-trophy-home-after-five-years-olivia-dunne-drops-unfiltered-championship-pictures-with-one-hundred-chance-of/]. Meanwhile, one of her compatriots from Tiger Nation posted a spectacle conceding a feel-good moment in the camp. The spectacle dealt with the usual training schedule of the Tiger ladies. Meanwhile, being the stunning ingenue, Olivia Dunne has attracted a sizable chunk of the limelight in that snippet. OLIVIA DUNNE AND HER FUNNY RUN-INS The concerned IG snippet aired from Olivia’s comrade in the purple leotard, Ashley Cowan, on March 28. The visual unfurled with Livvy’s announcement, “We’re over here on vault. We’re doing okay.” Soon, the effervescent gymnast was caught up cheering her colleagues by clapping or sharing motivational words. Eventually, the mic was with Olivia Dunne and she named the whole occurrence “ASMR edition”. The ensuing visuals proved to be more cooperative, rather than being a humble ASMR version. In the subsequent frames, Olivia lent her hand to help Savannah Schoenherr with her hair. In the meantime, the former national champion murmured, “I’m a woman of many talents”. It was visible on the sideline as well when Olivia’s judicious eyes showered praise for one Tiger gymnast. “She’s got that today. She’s got that bounce”, the New Jersey-born gymnast commented. Next, her teammates usurped the scene, trying their turns in the schedules like bars, beam, and floor exercises. In overall terms, the backend scenes in the gymnastics pack posted many proofs of having a concerted approach. IS THERE ANY CHANCE IN THE NCAA POSTSEASON? For the last several weeks, Olivia Dunne has been giving contradictory replies when asked about her retirement. In February, her social media posts pointed toward a season-end retirement. However, in the next stint, she flouted the question by saying, “I haven’t really thought about it yet”. But in the meantime, the LSU Tigers camp has decided to move forward with its next engagement. After claiming the second rank in the nation, the Tigers Nation has earned the top seed in the Fayetteville Regional, the NCAA postseason battle starting from April 4. The title will pave the way for the 2024 NCAA Gymnastics Championships in Texas – the ultimate crown.

Gymnastics is a collection of physical exercises requiring a lot of strength, agility, balance, and flexibility. It is closely related to circus performing skills as athletes put their bodies to the fullest use. Likewise, there are various disciplines for gymnasts to showcase their talents. Thus, it evolved from ancient Greeks that included skills to mounting to dismounting a horse. The competitive form of gymnastics is called artistic gymnastics. It involves various events for women like the floor, vault, uneven bars, and the beam. For men, they have floor, vault, rings, pommel horse, parallel bars, and horizontal bars. Therefore, the sport is famous for its aesthetic values and the Olympics draws major crowds to the gymnastics arena.

<h3>History of Gymnastics</h3>
Gymnastics originated from the Greek term, 'to exercise naked,' applied in ancient Greece exercises. These exercises became a mainstay at the Olympics but most of the competition came from ancient roots. There are stone engravings found in Shandong province during <a href="https://www.britannica.com/sports/gymnastics/Gymnasts" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the Han Period</a> (206 <span class="text-smallcaps">BCE</span>–220 <span class="text-smallcaps">CE) where they portrayed acrobatics. Like every sport, the person credited for making the sport famous was Friedrich Ludwig Jahn, founder of the Turnverein movement as he helped to spread gymnastics across the world. </span>

<span class="text-smallcaps">Most of the exercises were conducted on the playground. Therefore, various events came into existence. They held the first Gymnastics festival in 1860 in Coburg. The Americans were introduced to Gymnastics in the late 1820s while the Federation Internationale Gymnastique was founded in 1881 to organize the event. The 1896 Olympic Games saw the starting stages of gymnastics being introduced to the world. </span>
<h3>The Sport</h3>
There are three divisions of artistic gymnastics- artistic, rhythmic, and trampoline. There are six <a href="https://completegymnastics.com/gymnastics-disciplines-explained/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">events</a> for men and the all around event where they combine scores from every discipline. For women, there are four exercises and a similar all around event, both team and individual events. Apart from artistic gymnastics, there is rhythmic gymnastics and is practiced only by women. Trampoline is the other discipline of gymnastics and introduced itself at the 2000 Olympic Games. As years pass by, various gymnasts showcased their athletic skills to the masses in attendance.

<h3>Famous gymnasts in the world</h3>
<strong>Simone Biles:</strong>

In terms of pure dominance, Simone Biles enters the list as arguably the greatest gymnast of all time. She is the <a href="https://www.rookieroad.com/gymnastics/top-6-best-womens-players-of-all-time/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">most decorated</a> gymnast in the World Championships, winning four gold, one silver, and two bronze medals. The 2016 Rio Olympics saw her winning four gold medals and completely dominated the events. She has 25 World Championships medals to her name and her stance on mental health helps her become an influential person in the society.

<strong>Larisa Latynina:</strong>

Winning nine gold medals at the Olympics is astonishing and Larisa Latynina ranks on top of the famous gymnast charts. After Michael Phelps, she has the most Olympic medals with 18. She popularized the sport of gymnastics and was the first star in the sport. Her iconic performances will go down to the gymnastics folklore.

<strong>Nadia Comaneci:</strong>

Achieving a perfect 10.0 score in gymnastics is amazing. But, doing it at the Olympics, when just turning 14, placed Nadia Comaneci amongst the pantheon of greats. The 1976 Olympics saw her earning seven perfect scores. She won five Olympic gold medals out of the nine she won.

<strong>Svetlana Khorkina:</strong>

With a total of 47 Olympic, World and European Championships medals, Svetlana Khorkina is a remarkable gymnast. She became the first gymnast to win three all-around titles at the World Championships while winning five gold medals in the uneven bars at World Championships. Her success in the uneven bars earned her the moniker 'The Queen of Bars.'

<h2><strong>How much would Olivia Dunne be earning this year? A glance at her overall income, this 2024</strong></h2>
American artistic gymnast and social media personality Olivia Dunne is currently a member of the LSU Tigers <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/gymnastics-2/gymnastics/" target="_self" rel="noopener">gymnastics</a> team. She has gained significant popularity as a social media influencer, boasting nearly 5 million Instagram followers and nearly 8 million TikTok followers.

Beyond her online earnings and brand affiliations, Dunne supplements her income through gymnastics.
