Olivia Dunne is far from done when it comes to practicing gymnastics.

The 23-year-old content creator officially bid the sport a fond farewell in a professional context when she retired last April, which she announced via a heartfelt social media post. In the emotional announcement, the athlete was filled with gratitude for her time on the mat, saying, “Gymnastics, you have filled my heart and will always be a part of me. You’ve shaped me into the person I am today, creating memories and sisterhoods that will last a lifetime beyond the sport. You are my first love.”

Still, just because Dunne has stopped competing professionally doesn’t mean she’s abandoned her “first love—a fact she recently reminded fans of via her TikTok account.
