LSU Tigers women’s gymnastics sensation Olivia Dunne just helped lead her team to a national championship in her senior year, but it sounds like there’s a chance her college gymnastics career could still continue.
During a recent interview with the New York Post, Olivia Donne revealed that she actually still has one more season of eligibility with the LSU Tigers if she wants to take it, setting up a pretty major decision regarding her future.
“So I do have eligibility for a fifth year, which I haven’t decided yet,” Dunne told The New York Post during a recent interview. “I am thinking about it… But I do have eligibility [for another year at LSU].
“I don’t think I’m going to try for the Olympics or anything after, since I once competed for Team USA and I closed that chapter and went to LSU.”
Obviously, Dunne accomplished her biggest goal by helping lead the team to a national title this season.
“The national championship, that was obviously the end goal,” Dunne said. “That was the cherry on top of my senior year. It’s just so cool to be able to make history like with my whole team.”
But there’s still a chance she could come back next year.
