Olivia Dunne was filmed working hard at LSU practice on Wednesday as she continued to prepare for this week’s game against Missouri.
The 21-year-old, who is the highest-earning female NCAA athlete and boasts a huge social media following, was filmed practicing her routines in the gym.
Dunne and No. 3 seed LSU are 4-1 on the season and will travel to take on Missouri on Friday.
She was first spotted demonstrating her skills on the uneven bars on LSU’s Instagram in front of her teammates.
Dunne was then filmed performing a short dance for the camera before performing an acrobatic routine in her university’s huge gymnasium.

It comes after she shut down claims her Tigers teammates hate her in a hilarious video.
Given her social media fame, some fans openly wondered “if Dunne’s teammates are being nice to her.”
She used humor to address the issue with a video for her 7.8 million TikTok followers to enjoy.
In the video, Dunne invited the camera to walk with her to the locker room where her teammates were in a huddle. After saying an enthusiastic “hey everyone” upon entering, Dunne’s teammates turned and walked away.
“They hate me,” Dunne sarcastically captioned the clip.
The camera panned to teammate KJ Johnson, who was sitting on a bench, saying “Ew” after seeing Dunne. It then cut to a clip of Dunne dancing as teammates surrounded her with cheers and flashlights.
Dunne is in her final season with the Tigers and is adamant about winning the NCAA title.
In the SEC, Dunne earned a silver medal as a freshman, finished fifth as a sophomore and collected bronze as a junior. She made her only NCAA championship appearance in her freshman year at LSU.

Livvy’s popularity skyrocketed in 2023, highlighted by an appearance on the cover of Sports Illustrated’s swimsuit issue and an article in Elle Magazine.
Dunne’s worth rose significantly when she earned $3.5 million from deals with Body Armor, American Eagle Outfitters and Motorola.
The Tigers have a 4-1 record early in their season after nearly beating the Sprouts Farmers Market Collegiate Quad in Utah. After defeating UCLA and Utah, LSU closed the meeting with a loss to Oklahoma.
They bounced back when they returned to Baton Rouge with a win over Kentucky and will head to Missouri on Jan. 26 to face another Tigers ambush.
It has also emerged that Dunne’s performances will be scrutinized by three-time Olympic gold medalist Aly Raisman for the remainder of this season.
She landed her first job in TV commentary at ESPN as their gymnastics analyst.
Raisman was present for LSU’s win over Kentucky last week and will now play a bigger role in their coverage. ESPN will have 70 hours of live gymnastics coverage throughout the season.
