@livvydunne via InstagramSenior year of college is a time when many people start planning what they’re going to do next. Grad school? First “real” job? Marriage? Travel plans? Whatever is next, for many it’s the start of the future. For Olivia Dunne, it’s hard to imagine how her life could get better than it is right now.
The college gymnastics superstar recently shared some pictures from her summer vacation. In the post, she shared highlights of her travels. She went to Europe, watched baseball in Florida, and was even featured in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition.
The post, which included bikini pics, left many of her followers praising her beauty. One comment reads, “The most perfect woman ever.”
Dunne captioned the post, “there’s 104 days of summer vacation til school comes along just to end it…”

While many of her followers are drooling over her pictures, others accuse her of photoshopping her pictures before posting them. One comment reads, “omg you look unreal!! bc it is.. nice photoshop.”
Regarding that SI Swimsuit spread, Dunne told People, “When I first got the call, I honestly was in disbelief.” She added, “I got off the phone, I was screaming and jumping around, and I called my mom immediately, and I think I cried.”
Dunne is one of the first college athletes to ever be featured in the SI Swimsuit edition. She hopes being included in the issue will help her inspire other female athletes. She shared, “I want to show other athletes that you can have it all — especially women.”

Now it’s time for Dunne to head back to Louisiana State University for her senior year. She didn’t share a picture of her boyfriend in her recent post, but she has been romantically linked to LSU baseball player Paul Skenes who was drafted by the Pittsburg Pirates.
Before leaving LSU, Skenes helped lead the school’s baseball team to the national championship. The pitcher also met Dunn. He explained that they were introduced by his best friend who just so happened to be dating Dunn’s roommate and gymnastics teammate, Elena Marenas. He called it “a small-world type of thing.”

As for how her followers react to her posts, she told Elle, “I can’t help the way I look, and I’m going to post what I feel comfortable with. It’s hard to handle at times, definitely, because I am just a 20-year-old student. I think people do forget that.”
Her comments came after being criticized for posting photos in her gymnastics uniform. She explained, “It’s not a girl’s responsibility how a man looks at her or how he acts, especially when you’re doing your sport and that’s your uniform.”

Other fans are more focused on her skill as a gymnast saying she should try to go to the Olympics, but it’s unclear if Dunne plans to continue gymnastics after college. She has hinted at quitting. As far as the Olympics go, it doesn’t seem that Dunne is interested. When one fan asked, she responded, “No my body hurts.”
