The sight of former U.S gymnast Olivia Dunne making her senior debut for Louisiana State University on Friday against Ohio State sent fans wild as the social media phenomenon produced a masterful routine. Dunne, currently in her senior year at LSU, had to wait until the final rotation of the evening to make her debut with that status for the Tigers. Despite trailing for long periods of the meet, LSU - the No.3 ranked team - defeated Ohio State with an overall score of 196.995-196.795. In addition, fans are desperate to copy their new idol by snapping up Tigers' merchandise and their official leotards. Dunne's next chance to compete will be next Saturday at a quad meet, with LSU set to go up against Oklahoma, UCLA and hosts Utah.
