Olivia Dunne is undoubtedly the biggest LSU sensation right now. The 21-year-old has achieved stardom with millions of followers on social media platforms, that too at such a young age. While Livvy is loved by fans across the countries, and so she does love them back, she also has some people closer to her heart, the latest addition being Paul Skenes. Paul Skenes and Olivia Dunne have become the new power couple after confirming their highly rumored relationship. However, the MLB star might have to spend a cold Christmas this year as Livvy revealed her Santa, and it wasn’t him. OLIVIA DUNNE REVEALS HER SANTA Ever since confirming their relationship, Olivia Dunne and Paul Skenes have left fans in awe with daily updates. The power couple can be regularly seen together, sharing some adorable updates [https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-olympics-news-gymnastics-news-one-to-keep-me-warm-olivia-dunnes-new-favourite-gives-paul-skenes-unexpected-competition-amid-cuffing-season/] with fans as well. However, Skenes could be in for a cold Christmas as Livvy chooses another person as her Santa. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/olivia-dunne-and-Paul-Skenes.jpg] The LSU sensation shared an update on her Snapchat [https://www.snapchat.com/add/livvy_gymnast/lvoEqfW2QkqYtSrVj_Zj4QAAgd2xldnhib2ZyAYwq7MvsAYwq7MsrAAAAAA?invite_id=raNjHqO1&locale=en-GB&share_id=Vc3r832FCDk&sid=7d8cf00164ec4b07b87886c87b99f9d9], revealing her Santa as the Christmas festivities kickstart. Dunne shared a selfie of herself and Chase Brock, probably from a party, and called the fellow LSU gymnast her Santa. “SANTA @chasebrock”, she wrote. Interestingly, boyfriend Paul Skenes was kept on the sidelines this time. Livvy is quite good friends with Brock and is her teammate at LSU as well. Brock has been on the 2022 SEC Academic Honor Roll and recently produced a stellar vault performance. Being a good friend, Livvy was quick to appreciate her. But in all of this girly love, will Paul Skenes have to spend a cold Christmas? WILL PAUL SKENES SPEND A COLD CHRISTMAS? The answer is no. Livvy and Skenes are a strong and mature couple, and besides that, the 21-year-old LSU star recently revealed her plans to cozy up with the MLB star during winter. With cuffing season around the corner, Dunne shared a TikTok video, flaunting her new stylish outfits.

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.'
