Livvy Dunne Got Ignored By Legendary Gymnast, Simone Biles. Is It A Bad News For Livvy?
There are not many more well-known gymnasts than Simone Biles.
It would therefore take something quite remarkable for the USA athlete to choose Amari Drayton above social media phenom Olivia Dunne for credit.
During the annual Gym 101, Drayton, a freshman at Louisiana State University (LSU), gave a remarkable performance that demonstrated his ability to perform under duress. Drayton is a four-time Olympic gold medallist.

Prior to the 2024 season, the LSU gymnasts showcased 50 routines at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center on Friday, January 5. Impressions were high.
Drayton only entered the competition as a last-minute substitute for one of her injured teammates, but she made a strong impression in her first bars performance, finishing with a score of 9.925 to help LSU defeat Ohio State.

Olivia Dunne is ignored by Simone Biles
Every time Olivia Dunne steps onto the mat, the No. 3 LSU Tigers gymnastics team gets excited.
With her incredible flips and stunts that never fail to attract people’s attention, Dunne, who has already appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit and in Forbes, is already a worldwide sensation.

But after her decisive routine, it was evident that Drayton was the center of attention during this particularly close match. Her coach, Jay Clark, was praising her amazing performance.
He remarked, “We got to see a freshman do something spectacular,” according to NOLA. “Amari came through for us. It was also a brand new vault she’d never done [scoring another 9.925] and she didn’t know she was going in until after beam and got a 9.925.”
