LSU star gymnast Olivia Dunne says a security guard is still with the team after last season's unruly fan incident at the University of Utah.
LSU star gymnast Olivia Dunne has some extra security around her going into the 2024 season. The measures came after overzealous Dunne fans at the University of Utah created a ruckus when the Tigers were at the school for a meet in January. Dunne had to urge her massive social media fan base to be 'respectful' at events while coach Jeff Clark said more security would be added.
Dunne told People magazine in a recent interview it will be more of the same this season. 'We haven't competed since last season, so we'll see what this season holds,' she told the outlet in an interview published Monday. 'But after the incident in Utah that happened last year, we now have a security guard that travels with the LSU gymnastics team.
Last year was probably one of the most rewarding and most difficult years of my life,' she said. 'Just having so many eyes on me was such a new feeling, but it was pretty cool at the same time.'
