Olivia Dunne, the LSU gymnastics star, has embraced the viral “Donald Trump dance” as part of her pre-meet ritual ahead of the start of her final gymnastics season.

The 22-year-old gymnast made waves with her playful TikTok video where she and teammate Kylie Coen busted out the moves made famous by the former president-elect, adding some light-hearted energy to the night before LSU’s opening meet.

Pre-Meet Dance Moves to Get the Crowd Excited

In the TikTok clip, Dunne captioned the video with, “A little pre-meet hype,” as she and Coen danced before their performance.

This isn’t the first time athletes have jumped on the “Trump dance” trend—sports stars like Brock Bowers and Christian Pulisic have previously shared their own renditions.

The dance, which gained popularity during Trump’s recent presidential campaign, has been embraced by various sports figures to celebrate his election victory and add some fun to their public appearances.
