Olivia Dunne showed off her skills on two devices she has yet to compete for LSU on social media this season.
Dunne first posted a reel on Instagram of her doing two backflips and then a backflip on the balance beam in quick succession.
Another Instagram video shows Dunne doing multiple handstands and laughing on the uneven bars.
In the Tigers’ two meets so far in 2024, Dunne has been ranked second in their floor exercise lineup. She has not participated in any other discipline in an official capacity.
It is common for gymnasts to train in all four events in case of injury or lineup changes, with the vault also completing the apparatus quartet that a female NCAA gymnast must master.

Dunne is a senior at LSU and has only competed in floor exercises so far this season
LSU is back in action tonight against Kentucky, Dunne’s next chance to compete.
Dunne will graduate from LSU this spring, making this year her final season in collegiate gymnastics.
Dunne never competed in an official capacity on vault or balance beam during her LSU career. That’s why she was never eligible for the all-around.
As a freshman, Dunne earned All-America honors after scoring a 9.925 on uneven bars.
In 2022, Dunne expanded her role with the Tigers, participating in the uneven bars rotations and floor exercises.
Dunne has scored well in her floor exercise competitions so far this season, with a high score of 9.875
Last year, Dunne only played in four games due to a foot injury.
Dunne’s final college campaign could prove to be her most impressive, especially if her social media banter results in match results.
As her final season at LSU continues, Dunne’s popularity is only growing as she reportedly earns $3 million annually through NIL deals, the most of any woman in college athletics.
Combined from TikTok and Instagram, Dunne has approximately 13 million followers on social media.
