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.'

She has 20 career titles in total, including 14 in singles and six in doubles. She was famously introduced to tennis by coincidence. Sabalenka eventually decided to pursue it professionally. She has been training at the National Tennis Academy in Minsk, Belarus since it opened in 2014. Sabalenka currently trains with her coach, Anton Dubrov. Dubrov is a tennis instructor and former player from Belarus. Heâ€™s been Aryna Sabalenkaâ€™s coach since 2020.

Her father, Sergey, who died in 2019, was an ice hockey player. Sabalenka began playing tennis by happenstance. She explained, â€œOne day, my dad was just driving me somewhere in the car, and on the way he saw tennis courts. So he took me to the courts. I really liked it and enjoyed it and thatâ€™s how it was. Thatâ€™s how it started.â€ Tennis &#8211; Australian Open &#8211; Melbourne Park, Melbourne, Australia &#8211; January 24, 2022 Belarus&#8217; Aryna Sabalenka walks off court after losing her fourth round match against Estonia&#8217;s Kaia Kanepi REUTERS/Asanka Brendon Ratnayake She started training at the National Tennis Academy in Minsk when it launched in 2014. In 2015, the Belarusian Tennis Federation convinced Sabalenka and her team to focus on low-level professional events rather than junior competitions, despite the fact that she was still qualified to compete at the junior level. Aryna Sabalenkaâ€™s parents Sergey Sabalenka and Yuliya Sabalenka raised the two siblings in the nationâ€™s capital. Unfortunately, Aryna&#8217;s father died in 2019 at the age of 44. Sergey was a former hockey goalkeeper who introduced her to tennis. He played professionally for a variety of teams throughout his career. Although Aryna was initially inspired by her fatherâ€™s engagement in ice hockey, she later discovered her true passion in tennis.

She never competed in the junior Grand Slam tournaments or any other high-level Grade-A and Grade-1 competitions. The Belarusian beauty won her maiden professional match in Istanbul at the end of 2014. The following season, in October, she won her first two titles in Antalya, both at $10,000. Sabalenka eventually played at the senior WTA Tour in 2016 and ended the year ranked 158. She would double her efforts and win her first Masters title in 2018, which helped launch her rank to 11. She jumped to rank 9 in February 2019 and would continue to go up and down the ranks and go on to end the year ranked 11 once again. In 2020, Sabalenka would win her first Qatar Open and end the year ranked 10. The Belarusian beauty would have her best year in 2021 as she would manage to break into the top 5. Two semifinals in grand slams and one Masters title would help her end the year at rank 2. She fell slightly in 2022 as she did not manage to win any major titles. Her ranking also fell, and she ended 2022 ranked 5. 2023 would be an even better year for her. She won her first Grand Slam as the year kicked off.

<div class="mceTemp"></div>
<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. As of 2023, Dunne's net worth is estimated to be $3.5 million. This considerable fortune primarily stems from her prosperous social media career and endorsement deals with renowned brands like Vuori, Accelerator, L'OrÃ©al, Spotify, Forever 21, Motorola, American Eagle, Grubhub, ESPN College GameDay, and YouTube.

Beyond her online earnings and brand affiliations, Dunne supplements her income through gymnastics.

She receives financial aid from LSU via a scholarship, and her participation in competitions allows her to earn prize money. Notably, Dunne also benefits from the Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) program, which permits college athletes to monetize their personal brand. In 2023 alone, she reportedly amassed over $500,000 from NIL agreements. Her net worth is projected to grow further in 2024.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9"><strong>Who are her parents? Know about her life and family</strong></h2>
The influencer was born on October 1, 2002, in Westwood, New Jersey. Olivia is the daughter of Katherine and David Dunne. She has a sister named Julianna. Both of Dunne's parents have a background in athletics, with her mother being a former gymnast and her father being a former football player. Dunne initiated her gymnastics training at the age of 3 and exhibited natural talent in the sport. From grade 7 to 12 she was homeschooled.

She represented the junior national team for several years and was selected for the 2020 Nastia Liukin Cup. Subsequently, in 2021, Dunne enrolled at Louisiana State University (LSU) to compete as part of the LSU Tigers gymnastics team. In 2020, Dunne ventured into posting TikTok videos, garnering popularity for her gymnastics-focused content on the beach. She <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-gymnastics-news-olympics-news-despite-worldwide-lockdown-olivia-dunne-reveals-how-she-once-found-the-perfect-way-to-blow-up-her-instagram/" target="_self" rel="noopener">famously called it beach-nastics</a>.
