The most remarkable moment from her gymnastics career was achieved during the 2024 NCAA Championships when she contributed to the team's effort to win their first national title.

“Time flies when you're having fun,” Dunne said. “That's exactly how the past 20 years in this sport have felt. Gymnastics, you have filled my heart and will always be a part of me. You’ve shaped me into the person I am today, creating memories and sisterhoods that will last a lifetime beyond the sport. You are my first love.”

“And yes, time did fly by and I will cherish every memory for the rest of my life. Thank you for everything, gymnastics. You were so good to me," the former LSU Tigers' gymnast added.

Before joining the LSU Tigers, Olivia Dunne competed at the 2016 and 2017 P&G Championship and the 2017 U.S. Classic.
