Pittsburg Pirates rookie Paul Skenes' girlfriend Olivia Dunne attended the 2024 ESPYs at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles on Thursday. When she made it through the red carpet in her shining golden dress, she took part in a customary rapid-fire question on ESPN.
During the rapid-fire round, Dunne revealed that she often gets mistaken for Madelyn Cline, who is best known for her role as Sarah Cameron on the Netflix teen drama series Outer Banks. Cline is also popular for her role as Whiskey in Rian Johnson's mystery film Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.
Olivia Dunne revealed that her favorite athlete growing up was former gymnast and Olympic medalist Nastia Liukin, said 23-time Grand Slam champion Serena Williams left her starstruck, she'd take up softball if not gymnastics, have around 600 unread messages and said her favorite movie is Talladega Nights.
Olivia Dunne to return college, uses her fifth and final year at LSU
Just as when many started to think Olivia Dunne wouldn't return to LSU after fulfilling her dream to win the NCAA title in April, the star gymnast uses her final year of eligibility to defend the NCAA crown with fellow Lady Tigers.
In a video montage she shared on Instagram, Livvy said she's "not Dunne yet."
"Dear LSU, these past four years have changed my life. There's something about putting on a purple and gold leotard. There's something about competing in front of 13,000 screaming Tiger fans. There's something about being pushed by your coaches to be your very best. And there's something about being part of a team that made school history," Dunne said in the video.
"And no matter how many opportunities come my way off the mat, there's just something about LSU. And that's why I'm here to say, 'I'm not Dunne yet.' Here’s to Year 5, baby."
With Olivia Dunne returning, LSU is primed to retain their NCAA title. Dunne will join fellow Lady Tigers including NCAA all-around champions Haleigh Bryant, Sierra Ballard, Chase Brock and Alyona Shchennikova in their bid to win for the second time in the program's history.
