Olivia Dunne is one of the most well-known faces of collegiate gymnastics. Recently, the American gave fans an inside look into her life as she makes the most of her final year competing on the collegiate circuit.

Dunne first rose to fame in 2020, when she began sharing behind-the-scenes glimpses into her life as a student-athlete. The 22-year-old quickly built a large fan base across various social media platforms and is currently the highest-paid female NIL athlete.

Dunne is currently competing in her fifth and final season in the NCAA, representing the LSU Tigers. Taking to Instagram on Thursday (January 23), the gymnast shared a bunch of photos showcasing her life as a Tiger.

The post included snaps of her competing for the team, enjoying a private jet ride alongside teammate Alyona Shchennikova, and sharing an ice bath with Kailin Chio. Olivia Dunne captioned the photos,

“A fabulous day to be a Tiger.”

Dunne and the LSU Tigers arrive into the 2025 season as the defending NCAA champions, having won the crown for the first time in program history last year. The team has had a strong start to their year, having registered two wins in three meets, and will be hoping to retain their title.

Olivia Dunne first signed with the LSU Tigers in 2020 and since then has consistently delivered some impressive performances for the team, even earning the WCGA All-American honor in 2021. In July 2024, the gymnast announced that she would be returning to compete for the Tigers for one final time, explaining that she felt she had more to give as an individual competitor.

So far in her 2025 season, the gymnast has been a force to be reckoned with. She made her season debut on January 3, posting a 9.825 on the beam and a 9.875 on the floor to help LSU claim a win over Iowa State.

Up next, Dunne competed at the Sprouts Farmers Market Collegiate Quad. The 22-year-old performed in three events at the meet, scoring a 9.725 on the bars, a 9.775 on the beam, and wrapping it up with a 9.85 on the floor.

Olivia Dunne’s most recent outing in the gym came on January 17, when the LSU Tigers took on the Florida Gators. Dunne competed only on the floor, scoring a 9.875, which marked the Tigers' best performance on the floor for the night.

Dunne and Co. will return to action on January 24, as they take on Arkansas. The meet will be live-streamed on the Sec Network+.
