Will we see Olivia Dunne in LSU’s NCAA run? This one question must be daunting LSU gymnastics fans. The suspense and the mystery this question holds might take over many movies. The team from Baton Rouge is all set to step into the NCAA regionals on April 3, and the big question remains unanswered – will we see Dunne in the upcoming meet?
The LSU star gymnast has been out of the competition since January owing to the avulsion fracture in her patella. Despite this, she has been a key figure from the bench, helping and celebrating with the team. Dunne’s social media presence is no hidden gem. After the SEC win on March 22, 2025, she posted multiple stories of the team celebrating over social media. Still lost in the nostalgia of the win, she made another post on her TikTok on March 28, 2025.
In the video, she could be seen celebrating the SEC win with her LSU teammates. She posted multiple clips of the celebration with the caption, “Mentally still here”. It had Taylor Swift’s Right Where You Left Me playing in the background. But what was a pure moment of nostalgia for the LSU senior has been ruined by the trolls.
Her TikTok has become a ground of comments like, “8 years of college btw.” Though she hit back on this one with a great reply, there are plenty of others she has to bear with. The 8th year of college math is also the wrong data because Dunne joined the college in 2020 and graduated back in December 2024.
She had a COVID year in the bank, and she cashed it in for one last season of eligibility in 2025. But the fans are relentless and hard on the 22-year-old, trolling her for her last season with the Louisiana State University gymnastics team.
Fans question Olivia Dunne’s eligibility
As soon as Dunne’s TikTok went viral over the internet, tons of comments flooded in. Many of them were questioning her presence in the LSU team, directly taking a shot at the years she has spent in college. “8 years of school only 1 natty.” This was a clear shot at the LSU star winning only one NCAA championship in her whole collegiate gymnastics career.
The attack on the number of years she has spent in college did not stop there. It started to mold into sarcasm and exaggeration. This was evident in this one fan’s comment, reading, “95th year of college.” One other fan questioned, “Didn’t u already win many of these in ur 8 years“. An indirect approach to questioning her celebration, maybe. This was Dunne’s second SEC championship.
Another hit at the celebration was this one fan telling her, “Move out of the other girls spotlights for two seconds ”. Given that this is her last year with LSU, the comment seemed to mock her celebrations with her teammates as somewhat of a selfish move. Another fan told her, “Bro time to make a LinkedIn“. At the same time, many fans have also stood behind Olivia Dunne, questioning those with the 8-year math.
Trolling her for what she has no control over? Trolling her for pursuing her passion? Doesn’t seem like a productive way to spend time, in our opinion.
