Like Dunne, Sunisa is a supremely talented college gymnast who recently returned to competition. Lee had taken a mental health break from the sport after the Olympics win. However, she has returned better than ever, scoring a perfect ten on the uneven bars at the South Easter Conference. Last month Lee’s Auburn Tigers even defeated the LSU Tigers 197.75 to 197.5.

Dunne also tried to recut her friend for the LSU tigers. “Trying to convince my Olympic champion friend to transfer to LSU,” Dunne wrote in a story.
