Olivia Dunne and Suni Lee are two of college gymnastics’ biggest stars. Both have monster social media followings and serious accolades as gymnasts.
Lee is the defending Olympic All-Around Champion, the biggest prize in all of gymnastics. The 19-year-old from Minnesota stars at Auburn, and has over 3 million combined followers on Instagram and TikTok, making her one of the most followed athletes in all of college sports.
Dunne, on the other hand, is the most-followed college athlete on social media. The LSU star recently eclipsed ten million followers on Instagram and TikTok combined. And, she was on Team USA for multiple years as a teen and is an All-American on the Uneven Bars.
Dunne has been out injured this year but appears close to making a return. Suni, meanwhile, has been dominant.

And, for those of you that don’t know, gymnastics in the SEC is serious business. Crowds can eclipse 10,000, with packed student sections for the nation’s premier gymnastics conference.
On Friday, LSU traveled to Auburn for a meet, that Auburn won, 197.75 to 197.5. And, the two longtime friends and social media stars hooked up to create a TikTok, with Livvy begging Lee to join one of the other Tiger teams in the SEC.

It’s a big hit. It already has over 5 million views in just a few days, one of Dunne’s most viral TikToks yet.
I’m sure these two will link up again in the future.
