If you are an LSU fan, you have probably seen Olivia Dunne absolutely shine on the gymnastics mat for LSU. Her incredible flips and twists made her a true standout. But she’s just as captivating off the mat, where she’s built a social media empire with over 10 million followers, thanks to her stunning looks and relatable posts.
This 21-year-old gymnast, who retired from NCAA competition on April 17, 2025, after a knee injury, has truly turned her name, image, and likeness (NIL) into a goldmine, reportedly raking in over $500,000 per social media post since July 2023. Her appearances at big events like the College World Series always get fans buzzing, blending her athletic talent with a serious dose of celebrity charm. But what happens when that spotlight suddenly shifts to an unexpected rivalry?
The sports world is buzzing about a recent tweet. On June 19, 2025, Barstool CCU dropped a bombshell: “this college world series is literally the Madelyn Cline vs Livvy Dunne bowl,” complete with a gym video of Dunne mid-routine. This immediately pitted her against Madelyn Cline, the 27-year-old Netflix star of Outer Banks. It’s a fascinating clash of worlds, gymnastics grit meets Hollywood glamour, and everyone was curious to see how Dunne, a former U.S. Junior Women’s National Team member, would react. Could this be the start of a playful feud?
