Olivia Dunne shares glimpse of latest training session on uneven bars as LSU Tigers prepare for meet vs Kentucky

Ahead of the LSU Tigers' clash with the University of Kentucky on January 19, star gymnast Olivia Dunne uploaded a video, where she can be seen performing an uneven bars routine. The routine was flawless and received a lot of cheers from her teammates.

Dunne showcased her acrobatic skills while performing on the uneven bars, a setup that involves two bars at different heights on which gymnasts perform a routine. She started by transitioning from the higher bar to the lower bar and then moved back to the higher one during the latter part of her routine.

Throughout the routine, one can see Dunne executing difficult circles. She shared the video on her Instagram story, with sparkles emojis:

In the season opener against Ohio State at the 2024 NCAA Gymnastics Championship, Dunne played a crucial role in the LSU Tigers’ victory. She got an impressive score of 9.875 on the floor exercise. In addition, she performed well in the pommel horse, parallel bars, and ring events.

On December 16, 2023, LSU Tigers had their first event of the season, Gym 101, which took place at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center in Louisiana. Dunne was excellent in the floor exercise as she performed two somersaults and finished the routine with a two-flip landing.

Her performance was among the 50 routines that the Tigers presented as a preview ahead of the 2024 season. For the Tigers, nine athletes performed a total of 37 routines.
