Livvy Dunne had a front row seat to Simone Biles' dominance in Paris, and the emotional roller coaster that was Jordan Chiles' medal controversy.
You think Simone Biles is good on TV? Imagine watching her in person. Well, Livvy Dunne did just that in Paris – in fact, she competed alongside the seven-time Olympic gold medalist when they were in their younger days. 'I used to do elite with her, and she just has always been so dominant,' Dunne said in a recent interview with Fox News Digital. 'I don’t know if there’s ever going to be anyone who has nearly the amount of talent as Simone Biles.
But, as usual, it was Biles who took her breath away. 'Watching her in person is such a treat. To see what she does and how high she can go in person, it’s really an honor to watch her. That’s the best way to describe it,' Dunne added. While Dunne was in Paris, though, she saw first-hand the emotional roller coaster that Jordan Chiles was on. Chiles initially finished fourth in the individual floor competition, but an accepted inquiry bumped her score up one-tenth of a point.
However, the Romanian Gymnastics Federation challenged that the inquiry was submitted past the one-minute deadline, which eventually was the ruling – thus, Chiles was left without a medal. 'That was a tricky situation. I don’t know if they made the scores close on purpose, I have no clue. I’ve never seen anything like that in gymnastics history,' Dunne said. 'I love Jordan, she’s one of my good friends, we grew up doing elite gymnastics together.
