Olivia Dunne captivates spectators at LSU’s College World Series matchup, drawing an immense gathering of enthusiastic fans.
Another day, another sighting of Olivia Dunne.
The Sports Illustrated swimsuit model and hugely popular on social media LSU gymnast was seen in Omaha, Nebraska, at the College World Series supporting her team in their matchup versus Wake Forest on Monday night.
In the top of the fourth inning, as ESPN cameras cut to her signing a hat for a man, reporter Ana Bellinghausen captured throngs of young men swarming near her section behind home plate, ostensibly hoping to catch a look of Dunne.

From Charles Schwab Field, Dunne also shared an Instagram story with the comment, “Let’s geaux tigahs.”
In April, Dunne, 20, debuted in a Sports Illustrated swimsuit.
“Two days ago I competed, I was at school, and then yesterday I flew here, had my fitting, and here I am shooting,” Dunne said at the shoot.
Easy to tell what section Livvy Dunne is in 😂

The gymnast was commended by MJ Day, editor-in-chief of SI Swim.
“Livvy is harnessing this newfound power and turning it into a long-term, sustainable brand, growing the sport of collegiate gymnastics and setting an example for athletes of the future of what they are also capable of accomplishing outside of the competitive arena,” Day said.
“In a world where women are constantly being forced to pick a lane, Livvy is in all of them, winning. We couldn’t be more excited to feature her on the pages of our 2023 issue.”
Dunne talked about bringing gymnastics into the public eye outside of the Olympics’ four-year spotlight.
Here’s a skill I had planned to debut at nationals! It was submitted and given an “E” value. Here’s what would have been the “Dunne” 🙁 pic.twitter.com/GgkdMdKTEv

“In gymnastics, a lot of people only watch the Olympics every four years,” she told SI.
“And I feel like I’ve been able to use my platform to bring an audience to college gymnastics, and people are starting to see how amazing all these gymnasts are.”
