Olivia Dunne Has Terribly Upset Gymnastics World, Courtesy of Her New Video

While most of Olivia Dunne’s fans were dreaming of Olympic glory, the 21-year-old is seemingly not interested! In what was a shocking revelation, Dunne’s recent update on social media hinted at the fact that she would not be considering gymnastics as a central focus in her life going forward.

Dunne, who has been a sensation for the LSU Tigers got everyone’s hopes up via some scintillating display of gymnastics routines. Her immense fame made her clinch a lucrative NIL deal too. Nonetheless, it goes beyond saying that her fans were fuming after her latest updates. 

Olivia Dunne confirms the end of her gymnastic career. 

The 21-year-old LSU heartthrob posted a video on TikTok recently shedding on her career. In the clip, Dunne can be spotted wearing her gymnastic gear. However, the choice of song and the expression on her face looked utterly somber. Reflecting on her future, the caption to the video read, “When the sport that I’ve done for 18 years will come to an end in less than 2 months”. 

Such an update came as a bomb for her fans and the entire gymnast world. Dunne, who bagged a NIL deal of $500,000, has been absolutely crushing it. The young gymnast clinched the silver medal at the 2018 Pacific Rim Championships. She further went on to grab a couple of team gold medals at the Pan Ams in 2018 and the 2019 Jesolo trophy. 

Commencing her training as early as 3 years old, Dunne holds the record of being the youngest USA International Elite gymnast when she was just 11 years of age. Thus, it is quite expected that when a talent of such a high caliber speaks about retiring, the community would not be very much pleased about it. However, this is not the first time Olivia Dunne has hinted at hanging up her gymnastics boots. 

Dunne speaks about alternate career post-LSU

Back in 2023, Livvy Dunne spoke about the fact that she wanted to step away from gymnastics as soon as she finished college. Hinting about a possible switch in career, the 21-year-old commented on the Instagram page of ELLE USA, “I’m going to go back to school, finish my senior year of college, and that’s my last year of gymnastics ever.”

She further stated that pursuing elite gymnastics felt amazing and meant a world to her. However, now that she is about to finish college, Dunne realizes that gymnastics is just a part of her life. Concluding her thoughts, Dunne said that she would want the younger generation to understand that they are much bigger than the sport or discipline they follow.
