LSU star gymnast Olivia Dunne recently spoke about 2024 Olympic participation and her future goals as an athlete. With the Paris Olympics already on the way, star athletes are lining up for their races. Dunne on the other hand, expressed she’s focused on the national championship with her team.

Following LSU’s historic performance in April, Livvy wishes to stay and compete with her team as “I closed that chapter” after competing for Team USA once. She says that she’s not decided yet as she’ll still have another year to determine her path.

The 2024 Olympic gymnast Team USA is more or less settled as the event draws near. Commenting on her Olympic stance, Dunne stated,

I don’t think I’m going to try for the Olympics or anything after…the national championship, that was obviously the end goal.

She further recalled April’s performance when the LSU Lady Tigers gymnastics team won the NCAA Championship for the first time. Livvy expresses she’s happy to be part of it in her senior year. “It’s just so cool to be able to make history like with my whole team,” Dunne said.
