Olivia Dunne Dons New Sparkly LSU Leotard for Media Day, Puts Her Own Spin on Viral TikTok Sound
Our favorite LSU gymnastics occasion has arrived: picture day! NCAA star Olivia Dunne, who is the highest-paid female college athlete in the country, recreated a viral TikTok sound about how she cheers on her teammates on the big day.
The 20-year-old donned the latest version of the signature sparkly purple-and-silver “LSU Tigers” emblazoned long sleeve leotard. She sat on the floor in front of her phone, which was filming. Off in the distance, teammate Tori Tatum posed in a funky splits position against a classic dark green picture day backdrop as a large camera flash kept going off.
“Ay! Go! More passion. More passion. More passion. More energy. More energy. More footwork. More footwork,” the 2023 SI Swimsuit model mouthed along to the audio as she pumped her fists in the air and clapped her hands. Her long blonde locks were tied back into a loose ponytail.
“Me hyping my teammates up during media day,” read the on-screen text.
“They’re stars. #foryou #lsu #gymnastics,” the New Jersey native captioned the Sept. 14 clip she shared with her 7.8 million TikTok followers.
