The gymnastics sensation, Olivia Dunne, is gearing up for her final season with the LSU Tigers in the NCAA. She recently shared an uplifting message and photos to commemorate her last journey with the team.
Despite already clinching a National Championship title, the 21-year-old athlete is not ready to bid farewell to her career just yet. She is set to compete in the 2025 season, aiming to leave her mark once again.
“Last first day of school,” Dunne shared on Instagram, along with a snapshot featuring her 2024 National Championship banner and her pet dog. Clad in gym attire, she posed with a “first day of school” card detailing her name, age, grade, and aspirations.
Owning a massive social media presence, Dunne is a favorite among NCAA fans with over 13.4 million followers on Instagram and TikTok. She regularly updates her fans on her activities.
Not only excelling in gymnastics, but she has also secured various endorsements and business ventures with brands like Motorola, Nautica, and Vuori. Additionally, Dunne has graced the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition, elevating her NIL value to $3.5m as per On3Elite’s November 2023 report.
Off the mat, her personal life is equally fulfilling as she embarks on a family journey with her boyfriend, Paul Skenes, a promising talent in baseball associated with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Important Dates for Olivia Dunne’s Season
Dunne unfortunately missed the last meet of the season that saw the LSU Tigers claim the national championship, but she is determined to bounce back and strive for victory once more.
The upcoming season kicks off in January 2025, although the specific schedule is yet to be finalized by the SEC Division I board.
