LSU Gymnast Livvy Dunne Reunites with Gymnastics Hero Aly Raisman at NCAA Championships

LSU gymnast and social media influencer Olivia ‘Livvy’ Dunne had a dream come true moment when she reunited with one of her gymnastics heroes, Aly Raisman, at the NCAA Women’s Gymnastics Championships. Dunne, 21, shared a selfie with the multi-time Olympic gold medalist, sending fans into a frenzy on social media.

In a heartwarming throwback, Dunne referenced a photo from August 2012 where she excitedly shared that she had touched Raisman when she was just 9 years old. Now, nearly a decade later, the two talented gymnasts crossed paths once again, with Dunne expressing her excitement at meeting her idol once more.

Raisman, who has since retired from competitive gymnastics, is now working as a broadcaster for ESPN’s coverage of the championships. Meanwhile, Dunne is gearing up to conclude her collegiate career at LSU, with the Tigers aiming for a national title after their recent SEC championship win.

Not only is Dunne a standout athlete on the gymnastics floor, but she is also making waves off the mat. With an impressive NIL valuation of $3.7 million, she is the highest-earning female collegiate athlete, trailing only a few notable names in collegiate sports. Additionally, Dunne boasts a massive social media following, making her one of the most popular collegiate athletes across various platforms.

As Dunne prepares for the next chapter in her gymnastics career, her reunion with Raisman serves as a reminder of the impact that idols can have on aspiring athletes. With her talent, charisma, and social media presence, Dunne is undoubtedly a rising star in the world of gymnastics.
