Olivia Dunne is one of the most followed gymnasts in the world. It was during the COVID lockdown that Dunne became a social media star and now enjoys over 5 million followers on her handles.

During the pandemic, she posted short videos on TikTok which eventually led to her massive following. However, when things got back to normal, it became tough for her to manage social media, college, and her training simultaneously. The LSU star spoke to ESPN and revealed how she managed such a busy schedule.

"There is definitely a strategy behind it. It was over quarantine when it really blew up for me and there I had the help of my mom and my sister managing me and my time and having the right people around me. It has been one of the biggest blessings in my life," she said. ( Timestamp 0:40)
