Olivia Dunne no longer competes in gymnastics. The 22-year-old national champion finished her fifth and final season of competition earlier this year and now it hurts to get out of bed in the morning.

Her pain stems from more than 18 years of constant hard falls.

Dunne, who is perhaps known best for her presence on social media as the first college athlete to make generational wealth through NIL, started competing in gymnastics at the age of three. She often competed for the United States as a junior before she eventually committed to Louisiana State. The Tigers won their first-ever national championship during the 2023-24 season.

Although Dunne had already competed four years at LSU, the blanket waiver of eligibility granted to every athlete in 2021 allowed her to return for a fifth and final season. It was pretty clear that she was only there to compete because she could not even remember her only two classes, but that is neither here nor there. She retired from the sport with an emotional video at the end of April.

Olivia Dunne is finished with gymnastics but the physic pain it caused her will linger forever. It hurts her just to get out of bed in the morning even at the young age of 22. Her sport took a difficult toll on her body over the last (almost) two decades. A 21-second compilation of the various falls throughout the years only begins to scratch the surface. Take a look:

Not only were the falls painful, Dunne was expected to get right back up and continue practice. She revealed that she actually lost feeling in her left foot after the violent fall onto her back in the video above. It was not considered a valid excuse to stop!

I couldn’t feel my left foot after but I continued practice

OUCH! It is not a secret that gymnastics is one of the most brutal sports on the body. To wake up sore at 22 does not sound fun. Olivia Dunne will feel pain from her past for the rest of her life. It is a harsh reality.
