Olivia Dunne is quite the internet sensation these days. Everywhere you turn on social, the blonde 20-year-old is seemingly there.
She’s become a pop culture sensation, too. The LSU gymnast is undoubtedly the biggest draw in women’s sports right now, for better or worse.
Just look at how it was in LSU’s season-opening meet at Utah. Dunne was treated like a member of The Beatles.
