Olivia Dunne once shared an amusing story of her ignorance about LSU's interest at age 10

Due to her accomplishments in the sport of gymnastics, Olivia Dunne has become extremely popular among her followers. Due to Olivia Dunne's fame, the LSU gymnastics team is now receiving additional security.

However, she didn't have this fame when she was a 10-year-old kid. Dunne discussed the reaction she would have had to an elite college's interest. She recalled a past moment in which her coach let her know about LSU's interest in her, to which she was completely uninterested and ignorant about LSU at age 10.

She said, "My coach told me that LSU was interested in me ... and I was like what's LSU?"
