Olivia Dunne, the famous gymnast from LSU, is a perpetual presence in popular culture. As the reigning queen of NIL deals, Dunne takes the power position to get brand partnerships seriously.? A big step forward in her career came recently when she announced her Livvy Fund’s partnership with Accelerator Active Energy. Transcending the same energy to senior year duties, she noted, ?I am so excited for one last go around and hopefully make it my best one yet.??

Olivia grew up devoted to gymnastics as she became interested in the sport at the tender age of three. With the NCAA meet around the corner, she shared an update from perfecting one of her routines.

After a fourth finish for LSU’s gymnastics squad at the NCAA championship last year, this year Dunne committed to serious gameplay. Over the weekend, Dunne shared a peek into her routine practices with her fans on her Snapchat story. In the practice video, Olivia looked stunning in her signature purple LSU leotard. She started her performance with a strong run and used the momentum to perform midair maneuvers.

Her routine consisted of many flips that ended with two 180-degree spins and a controlled foam landing. In the caption she wrote, “the woman behind the camera @aleahfinn.” In the next Snapchat story, she ran towards the floor foam and performed her perfect splits and act. Aleah Finnegan, a gymnast at LSU, is another outstanding athlete in Dunne’s close group who captured her recent video. Olivia keeps their friendship from college alive even though Aleah represents the Philippines team. She was notable for being one of the first to congratulate her pal on her recent successes with her new international squad.

Dunne is gearing up for her third collegiate year constantly captivating audiences with her incredible feats of flexibility. A while back, the gymnast shared her incredible strength by doing a split in midair while holding a handstand with ease. She holds the pose for a few amazing seconds, but finally wobbles a little and laughs it off rather gracefully. Despite her witty play to add fun to the mats, she is often seen with her fellow teammate at a high gymnastics bar!

The gymnast’s inseparable LSU companion

Olivia Dunne added a little Halloween cheer to their practice session with Elena Arenas. They adorned props dressed up with Vikings as the theme. Both had striking orange beards and handmade Viking caps. Dunne clutched a make-believe bloodstained sword to go along with her costume, while Arenas held up a large shield with a scary skull on it. These LSU Gymnastics teammates have sizable social media followings and are well-known on the platform.

Dunne boasts a distinguished 18-year gymnastics practice, notably at the young age of 21. On the other hand, Elena comes with a gymnastics history as her mother, Kim was a great athlete who won two straight NCAA full-national titles. Furthermore, both gymnasts have competed for Team USA, where they strived for the top rank. However, Arenas won first place in the all-around competition in 2017, with Dunne coming in closest at tenth.

With a score of 9.5 in the SEC vault, Elena set a personal best at LSU. Dunne’s performance at the NCAA regional semifinals included a 9.9 on-the-floor exercise and an excellent 9.85 on the uneven bars. This is Dunne’s last opportunity to make an impression in the sport after missing a big chunk of the 2022?2023 season owing to injury.
