Olivia Dunne joked about not competing in this year’s Paris Summer Olympics with a hilarious TikTok video.
Days after the Team USA gymnastics roster for the Paris Games was finalized, Dunne joked about being left off the team to her 8 million followers on the platform.
Dunne posted a 14-second montage of his saddest moments to sarcastically lament the snub. The botched takedowns and falls were accompanied by a bass-boosted version of the national anthem.
“I am very sad to announce that I have not been selected for the 2024 Olympics,” she wrote with a disappointed emoji.
“They despised me,” she added in the caption.

The U.S. gymnastics team will be led by Simone Biles and teammates Jordan Chiles, Suni Lee, Jade Carey and Hezly Rivera. Joscelyn Roberson and Leanne Wong will travel with the team as replacement athletes.
The video appeared just a day after Dunne told the New York Post where she is with her gymnastics career, including the Olympics.
Dunne concluded her senior season with LSU gymnastics as part of the program’s first NCAA national championship team in April.
“I’m eligible for a fifth year, but I haven’t decided yet,” he told the Post. “I’m thinking about it… But I’m eligible for one more year at LSU.”
“I don’t think I’ll try to make the Olympics or anything like that after that, as I competed for Team USA once and closed that chapter and went to LSU.”

Dunne was part of LSU’s first gymnastics team to win an NCAA national title in April.
Two of the four seniors in Dunne’s class have committed to returning for a fifth season.
The Tigers secured their first NCAA title by scoring 198.225 to beat California (197.850), Utah (197.800) and Florida (197.4375) at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth.
“The national championship, obviously, was the ultimate goal,” Dunne said. “It was the cherry on top of my senior year. It’s great to be able to make history with my entire team.”
During Dunne’s four years at LSU, she added to her resume accomplishments including the 2023 SEC Academic Honor Roll, 2022 SEC Academic Honor Roll, 2021 WCGA All-American, 2021 WCGA All-American and 2021 SEC Freshman Academic Honor Roll.
The social media star has a career-high score of 9.925 on bars, which she achieved in 2021 against Auburn and in 2022 against Centenary. She also has a career-high of 9.90 on the floor, which she achieved against Alabama in 2022.
