Olivia Dunne joined the LSU Tigers in 2020. Having the option of an extra year of eligibility due to the Covid 19 pandemic, she went on to compete for the team for the next five years, winning a national championship with them in 2024.

Dunne called time on her gymnastics career earlier this year, and in an interview with USA Today she revealed how her commitments to brands, red carpets events, and runway shows helped her deal with her retirement, saying,

“I think the transition from being a D1 athlete, any sport to no longer doing your, you know, passion, I think that is a very hard transition. But for me, luckily, I had a lot of obligations outside of gymnastics. So, working with brands like Invisalign or, you know, being able to do these red carpets or runway shows, I think it's kind of been a good transition for me, but it's definitely weird not having that part of my life anymore.”

She went on to add that she would always be a gymnast ‘at heart’ explaining,

“Gymnastics consumed so much of my childhood, so to no longer do it anymore is crazy. It really is. But I may not be doing gymnastics anymore, but the gymnastics will never leave me. I will always be a gymnast at heart.”

Since retiring from gymnastics, Olivia Dunne has appeared on the cover of SI Swimsuit and walked the runway for the brand. In the midst of her busy schedule, she had also found time to support her boyfriend, Paul Skenes, at his MLB games.
