Olivia Dunne is back with another cool gymnastics trick. The NCAA athlete shared a TikTok on March 19 showing off her incredible skills. She began on the carpeted locker room floor in a splits position and used her arms to move her legs up into a handstand and mid-air splits. LSU’s star gymnast held the position for a few seconds before slowly lowering herself back onto the ground.

The New Jersey native wore gray athletic shorts and a matching tank from activewear brand Vuori, for which the 20-year-old is an ambassador. Her long blonde hair was tossed into a high ponytail.

“locker room activities #foryou #lsu #gymnastics,” she captioned the post she shared with her 7.3 million followers on the platform.

“The actions in this video are performed by professionals or supervised by professionals,” an auto-generated warning read across the screen. “Do not attempt.”

The No. 6 Tigers finished third at the SEC championship on Saturday with a score of 197.80. Dunne achieved a season high of 9.850 during the meet at Gas South Arena.

On Monday, NCAA officials announced that LSU will be heading to the Denver Regional to begin postseason competition. Teams will begin competing on March 31 at Magness Arena for a chance at the NCAA Championships in Texas.
