On Friday, Olivia Dunne and the LSU Tigers visited the University of Arkansas to compete in their SEC matchup against the Razorbacks. Dunne has achieved impressive stats over the last five matches and satisfied the fans with another outstanding performance.
Before getting on the court against the Razorbacks, Olivia Dunne posted a handful of pictures showing off her gameday fit. Moreover, Dunne also shared a snapshot with her friend Kylie Coen, in which the two can be seen posing for a selfie as they showed off their game day makeup.

Despite Olivia Dunne's impressive performance, the LSU Tigers ended up losing to the Razorbacks by 196.875-196.600. Following the loss, the Tigers are currently 4-2 for the season. Even though they lost to the Razorbacks, the team won their previous game against the Florida Gators by 197.550-197.450.
The LSU Tigers are coming to the 2024-2025 season after an NCAA gymnastics championship win last year. Championship win was definitely a major point in Dunne's life, who talked about her celebrations during an exclusive interview with PEOPLE. Sharing her reaction to the championship win, Dunne said:
"The first thing I did was start crying right after we won. I just felt like my team's hard work had finally paid off, just four years of working so hard towards a common goal. I think it's so special to have a group of young women all have a common goal in mind and then work to reach that goal and then win. That is so rewarding."

Being in a sport like gymnastics, it's important for Olivia Dunne to take care of her "body image" especially when all the cameras are always on her. However, Dunne previously revealed how she faced massive struggles with maintaining her body image despite her good confidence in herself. Opening up about her struggles via Flaunt, Dunne said:
"I actually looked at a statistic, and it said anorexia and body image issues are the highest in artistic sports. That is terrible, but I understand it. Growing up in elite gymnastics, it was very hard with body image."
Moving forward in the interview, Olivia Dunne talked about gymnastics being a sport where "people judge". But despite being "confident" in herself, she has constantly struggled with maintaining her "body image." Talking about the same, Dunne further added:
"Being a young girl going through puberty, it’s hard to be in a leotard. The whole sport of gymnastics is having people judge you, and I just think that’s something not a lot of people talk about. Yes, I’m confident in myself, but it’s something I still struggle with to this day," Dunne further added.
After winning the championship last season, there's a huge pressure on Olivia Dunne and the LSU Tigers for another win. Do you think they'll succeed in grabbing another Championship win?
Olivia Dunne previously made headlines for her reaction the TikTok ban. Dunne took to her TikTok account to share an unbothered reaction, which came almost a week after she shared her reaction to Patrick Mahomes and his Brittany’s baby girl Golden’s birth announcement.
