Olivia Dunne recently reacted to Gabby Thomas, Jordan Chiles, Suni Lee, and other athletes' SI Swimsuit appearances. Thomas, Chiles, Lee, Ali Truwit, Toni Breidinger, Anna Hall, and Caroline Marks made their SI Swimsuit appearance for the 2025 edition.

The athletes were seen posing for the magazine at The Boca Raton in Florida. The magazine recently shared a few pictures from the shoot. Multiple-time Olympic track medalist Thomas was seen posing in black swimwear. Chiles also posed for the pictures in black swimwear and flaunted her long signature nails.

Chiles' Tokyo and Paris Olympics teammate Lee donned green swimwear while Anna Hall flaunted a black and white bikini, adding a white buckle belt to complete her look. Olympic surfing gold medalist Marks was seen donning bright yellow swimwear while she soaked in the sun on the beach.

Dunne, who made her third appearance for the magazine's photoshoot, penned her praise for fellow athletes by referring to them as:

"Queens."

Olivia Dunne once opened up about her goal after retiring from gymnastics. The former University of LSU gymnastics highlighted the difficulties faced by female college athletes in capitalizing on NIL opportunities and continuing to excel in the realm after concluding their gymnastics career. Dunne looks forward to assisting female athletes.

“Girls don’t know where to start,” Dunne said in 2024 (via New York Post). "Because that’s sometimes half the battle and it’s very important to capitalize on your NIL while you’re in college if you’re a female, because there’s not a lot of professional leagues after college for most women’s sports."

“So I definitely want to do something [in NIL] overall, after I’m done at LSU. And hopefully expand beyond LSU and help educate people and just help girls out. . . . I’ve always loved sports. So definitely something in the sports realm,” she added.

Olivia Dunne has partnered with Crocs, Nautica, Vuori, ESPN, Amazon, Microsoft, Dick's Sporting Goods, Planet Fitness, Accelerator, and American Eagle.
