The USA celebrated its 25th gymnastics day 0n September 16. The emotionally strong and physically grueling stories the sport has yielded throughout the years are nothing short of astounding. The sport continues to break down barriers each season, giving away more than just the champion title. Therefore, it remains a special day for all the top-rated American gymnasts. Many of them took to social media to celebrate the day, including the internet sensation Olivia Dunne.

Though Dunne never shies away from pulling off the curtains from her affluent ‘Name, Image, Likeness’ (NIL) deals, she often becomes a subject of scrutiny among social media cult. “People definitely discredit what I do,”?stated the LSU gymnast addressing the criticism she gets online. However, in spite of being dismissed as a true gymnast for using her NIL deals to make her own identity online, Olivia Dunne did not step back in celebrating the silver jubilee of her sport. In fact, other elite gymnasts also joined her on this occasion.

LSU gymnast Olivia Dunne and UCLA sophomore Jordan Chiles advanced their on-mats stride by taking advantage of paid partnerships this year. In addition, former reigning all-around Sunisa Lee made headlines for being Simone Biles’s rival for the title in national events. United by their sport, the occasion saw the three gymnasts add their favorite memories related to the sport.

Dunne posted an Instagram story displaying her performance on the uneven bars, which included two clean swings and one flawless mid-air flip. Not only that, Dunne also added a collage of four images featuring her LSU Tigers teammates and her mid-air maneuver photo.

She captioned the photo, “happy gymnastics day” with a red heart emoji. Along with Dunne’s purple bedazzled leotard update came Sunisa Lee’s Instagram post, performing a similar routine.

Olivia blasts critics on NIL income: “Worked for everything I’ve earned”

The SI Swimsuit model took her time until a few weeks back when she stated a strong message that refuted common assumptions regarding her quick ascent to success. Answering the skeptics, she said, “People definitely discredit what I do.? She further added,??People need to understand that I?ve worked for everything I?ve earned.”

A strong stand seemed necessary since she had been performing gymnastics since she was three years old and was even homeschooled so she could focus on honing her skills.

Notably, Dunne collects around $3.3 million annually solely from sponsorship deals. Further adding to her remark, she cleared,?“brands pay me for what they believe is worth the reach of the demographic that I offer.” The statements emphasized her unwavering dedication and sense of action, which had helped her advance.

In fact, NIL was introduced so that college athletes could receive financial compensation through marketing and promotional endeavors. This may include autograph signings, product endorsements, social media posts, and much more. So it seems Dunne is simply enjoying the fruits of her labor.

Apart from all this noise, all the young gymnasts took to their social media handles to celebrate National Gymnastics Day because it is the sport that has made them what they are.
