Olivia Dunne reveals Olympic dreams and how she got into collegiate gymnastics
LSU Gymnast Olivia Dunne has revealed how she wanted to compete in gymnastic events at the Olympics when she was younger, and how her approach to competing changed later. The 22 year old has been competing for the LSU Tigers since 2021, and made the 2024 Winter SEC Academic Honor Roll, as well as being named a WCGA Academic All-American in the same year.
Dunne recently revealed her early ambitions in life in an interview with GQ Sports, and had this to say on the topic:
“I wanted to go to the Olympics, compete for the USA, and make the USA National Team and wear the USA gear and just go to different countries and stuff. I figured that would be cool.”
She later stated that she got into collegiate gymnastics after undergoing intense training as a youngster, even suffering two ankle injuries. She added:
“It was cool to me that people got to travel and be on TV and do all these cool things when it came to the Olympics,” Dunne added. “But I was like, I wonder if I can still do cool things like that but not have to go to the Olympics to attain those goals and those cool things.”
Olivia Dunne has missed out on a large part of the 2025 season, due to a knee injury she picked up back in January.
