Social media sensation Olivia Dunne has returned to the LSU campus for her senior year. She enjoyed the summer vacation on a fun-filled trip to Italy, where she had the chance to indulge in both adventure and leisure. Dunne had the chance to gorge on the local delicacies, but she was wary of over-indulging. As a college gymnast, she is on a strict diet in order to keep herself fit for the NCAA competitions. But that doesn’t mean she does not allow herself the occasional treat.

Recently, the LSU star broke her diet and gave herself a sweet reward. She felt like she had earned the right after completing a grueling training session and facing a tough test.

Olivia Dunne jumped right back into training after her vacation ended. During one such rigorous training session, the otherwise glowing social media star broke out into hives. She has been preparing for the tough conditioning test that all LSU gymnasts have to go through. All that hard work bore just results, and she triumphed in the test. Olivia Dunne shared the happy news with her fans in a TikTok video titled, “That feeling when you pass the conditioning test”. In the video, Dunne rejoiced by dropping down on her knees and boxing the air in wild jubilation. Now, it seems that the celebrations did not stop there as she posted a picture on Snapchat with a transparent ziplock bag full of chocolate cookies. She captioned the picture, “After conditioning test treats,” and added a cheeky emoji to express her happiness.

Olivia Dunne has given up on much of her guilty pleasures to stay competition-ready. She has shared her usual diet on social media in a #whatieatinaday video. It mainly comprises superfoods and fruits. For protein, she favors chicken and shrimp while making sure that her calorie intake is always within the accepted benchmarks. This is so because, as an NCAA gymnast, she needs a lot of energy to perform the routines, but too much caloric intake can hinder her performance. It is not just Olivia Dunne, but all of her Tigers teammates also follow a strict diet to stay in top shape for competitions. After all, they are all in this together and will do whatever it takes to support each other.
