Olivia Dunne celebrates Simone Biles and Team USA’s gymnastics gold in Paris – and makes HUGE claim about competing in Los Angeles in 2028!
Olivia Dunne had one of the best seats in the house when Simone Biles and Team USA won Olympic gold in Paris on Tuesday.
Biles’ gold medal in the team final makes her the most decorated Olympic gymnast in U.S. history. Dunne, a gymnast at LSU and a major TikTok personality, was there to witness history.
The 21-year-old shared a TikTok video from her seat of Biles performing. She uploaded the video with the enthusiastic caption: “GO USA RAHHH.”
In the comments below, Dunne responded to a fan who said, “You should really compete in the Olympics,” with the comment, “LA 2028 baby.”
Dunne was part of LSU’s NCAA-winning gymnastics team last year – their first-ever national championship.

Earlier in the day, Dunne had posted a photo on her Instagram of herself enjoying the French sunshine.
Her comments on TikTok mark a change in attitude from Dunne, who said earlier in July that she would never try to compete in the Olympics.
“I don’t think I’ll be running for the Olympics or anything like that after that, since I played for Team USA once and closed that chapter by going to LSU,” she told the New York Post.
But perhaps seeing the heroics of Biles and her team has led to a change of heart for Dunne, who will be 25 when the next Games are held in Los Angeles in 2028.
Biles, 27, said after her gold medal that she had overcome the demons of the Tokyo Olympics, where she struggled with the infamous “twisties.”
Biles said, “We’re super excited. We feel honored to represent the U.S. any time we’re on a world stage, but to get that gold and that goal was just an amazing feeling.
‘I think we all had something to prove with the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games and we did that tonight.
“It means the world. That was our goal when we started it, even though we didn’t share it with everyone because it was just something personal that we were working on.
“But I think it’s for everyone what we came here for. And we’re super excited to go home with that gold medal.”
