Olivia Dunne shared footage of her hard work at LSU practice on Friday as the Tigers continue to prepare for the NCAA Gymnastics Championships.
Dunne and his teammates are one of eight schools participating in the event next week in Fort Worth, Texas.
No. 2 LSU will compete in the first session of the semifinals on April 18 against California, Arkansas and Stanford. The top two teams will advance to the finals on April 20.
And Dunne hopes to impact LSU’s results after training on the beam and uneven bars on Friday.
She posted two videos, one of her on both devices, to her Instagram Story with the caption: “getting Natty ready.”
Olivia Dunne shared footage of herself at practice on Friday ahead of the national championship.
Dunne showed off her routine on the beam, flying through the air before landing comfortably.
Last week, Dunne enjoyed one of her best nights in gymnastics for LSU, earning a score of 9.90 despite being called upon to anchor the LSU Tigers in floor exercises on short notice.
In a contest against BYU, Oregon State and No. 15 Minnesota, Dunne replaced Kiya Johnson in the final minute to solidify a notable team performance.
His training on Friday seemed to be much smoother than one from earlier in the week when he took a bad fall while trying to complicated movement in camera.
The 21-year-old college senior shared a contrasting video of herself doing a backflip on bars at an SEC gymnastics meet before different images showed her doing laps at Tigers practice.
“Bars: 1 Livvy: 0,” he captioned his post.
Dunne joked that she was scared by a fan’s overly enthusiastic response to her latest Instagram selfies.
The 21-year-old social media personality scored a 9.90 on floor exercises at an LSU meet recently.
A day earlier, on Wednesday, Livvy also admitted that she was freaked out by a fan’s very enthusiastic response to her Instagram selfies of herself in a black jumpsuit from Vuori Clothing.
The fan commented on Livvy’s post with a long poem mentioning how she “has captured my heart in ways I never thought possible,” to which she simply responded, “I’m scared.”
Another Instagram follower declared his love for her by dreaming of holding her hand, to which Livvy responded with a hint about her relationship with MLB prospect Paul Skenes of the Pittsburgh Pirates.
“I hate to tell you…” Dunne responded.
The social media personality, who has a NIL valuation of $3.7 millionwho ranks behind only players like Colorado quarterback Sheddeur Sanders ($4.7 million) and USC guard Bronny James ($4.5 million), previously feared for his safety on LSU’s campus due to threats and online attacks.
The LSU gymnastics team even had to hire a bodyguard for Dunne at last year’s competitions after a gang of “rude” teenagers harassed her in Utah.
