Olivia Dunne is a massive TikTok star with 7.1 million followers. Anything that she posts is bound to do rounds on the internet. In her recent Tik Tok post, the 20-year-old left her fans gasping as she came together with her rival Suni Lee. As per the disclaimer of the video, it read “me trying to convince my Olympic champion friend to transfer to LSU…” Olivia attempted to convince Lee to join LSU by lipsyncing on an audio clip that stated “It would be so awesome, it would be so cool.”

She posted the video with the caption, “Was worth a shot…” However, the two athletes looked at each other and smiled heartily in the video. Although it would have been a treat for gymnastics fans to see two promising athletes on the same team, that’s not really happening.
