Olivia Dunne is the latest athlete to jump on the viral ‘Donald Trump dance’ bandwagon, showing off her moves as she gears up for her return to gymnastics action.
The LSU gymnast and social media sensation shared the video just before kicking off her final season with the Tigers on Friday night.
The 22-year-old gymnast had an impressive start to her season as she helped lead LSU to a victory over Iowa State.
But before the meet, it was her pre-competition routine that caught the attention of fans.
Dunne and her teammate, Kylie Coen, posted a short TikTok clip where they were seen performing the now-famous ‘Trump dance,’ a quirky move that has taken the sports world by storm.
‘Trump Dance’ Takes Over Sports
The ‘Trump dance’ has gained popularity across various sports, with athletes mimicking the signature shuffle that former President Donald Trump became known for during his recent election campaign.
The dance was first seen in celebration following Trump’s victory in the presidential race, after he triumphed over Kamala Harris in securing another term in the White House.
This dance craze has spread across sports, with notable athletes such as Brock Bowers, Christian Pulisic, and Calvin Ridley already joining in on the fun.
Olivia Dunne and Kylie Coen are the latest to embrace the trend, adding their own spin to the viral moves ahead of LSU’s season opener.
Dunne’s Memorable Season Kickoff
Dunne’s ‘Trump dance’ was posted in the hours leading up to LSU’s gymnastics meet against Iowa State.
This marked the beginning of her fifth and final year with the Tigers.
The gymnasts were clearly in high spirits as Dunne excelled on the floor and the balance beam, helping LSU secure the win.
In the stands cheering her on was none other than her boyfriend, MLB star Paul Skenes, who made an appearance to support Dunne during this exciting milestone in her athletic career.
The night also followed a New Year’s celebration they had together in New Orleans, just days before the competition.
Despite the excitement of the weekend, the couple remained focused on the meet and on celebrating Dunne’s gymnastics accomplishments.
The dance was a fun and lighthearted way for Dunne to get into the groove before competing and joining a viral moment that’s been sweeping through the sports world.
