Olivia Dunne reflects on becoming famous and making the cover of Sports Illustrated
Olivia Dunne, in an interview with ESPN in Oklahoma City, opened up about her experience with LSU and the fame she found with the team. Dunne said in the interview:
"I was 18 years old when everything changed, and I felt like I couldn't breathe, I felt like I couldn't make a mistake. But something you learn on social media is you will get hate and you will get people that are bitter towards you, especially when you have success. But I think that having the eyes on me has been such a blessing in my life, and I feel like it's translated over into eyes on the sport of gymnastics. which was a huge deal to me and a huge reason why I kept coming back for more..."
The retired LSU Tigers gymnast recently made the cover of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition. Dunne was on the cover of the swimsuit edition alongside fellow gymnast from UCLA, Jordan Chiles, actor and philanthropist Salma Hayek Pinault and popular American model Lauren Chan.
