The ultra-talent gymnast took to social media to make a major announcement about the future of her gymnastics career. Olivia Dunne used an incredibly well-made hype video announcing that she will be continuing her gymnastics career with the LSU Tigers.
"Dear LSU, the last four years have changed my life," Dunne said in her announcement video. "I'm here to say, I'm not Dunne yet," she continued, addressing the thousands of LSU Tiger fans who have supported her throughout her athletics career.

"Here's to year five baby," she said at the conclusion of the video, recreating a mic drop with the letter she read to the school and her fans. As one of the most recognizable college athletes in the United States, Olivia Dunne's decision to continue with LSU is massive. During the 2023-24 season, the Tigers won the first-ever NCAA Championship in school history.
