As the old adage goes: ‘Form is temporary, class is permanent’.
Former LSU star Livvy Dunne proved that to be true as she made a remarkable return to gymnastics last week, having spent over a year away from the mat.
Taking to TikTok on Sunday, the former LSU Tigers star went back to the school’s training facility in order to have a go at some of her old floor routines.
Dunne began the video by jokingly declaring she was ‘scared’ to get back out there but quickly got into the swing of things once she stepped back onto the floor.
The 23-year-old looked at ease as she performed some of the impressive routines from her college career, while onlookers cheered her in support.
‘Why was that actually kind of good?’ Dunne asked the camera during the video, showing that even she was impressed at the lack of ‘ring rust’.

Signing off the video, Dunne said: ‘So, I guess, your girl’s still got it. Sixth year?’
The video instantly went viral on social media as her 7.9 million followers on TikTok went crazy over the clips, with many calling it a ‘throwback’ to her college days.
Since retiring from gymnastics in April 2025, Dunne has since been capitalizing on her social media fame, striking partnerships with loads of notable brands.
The 23-year-old has struck up deals with the likes of Tom Brady’s NoBull, energy drink Accelerator and beer brand Miller Lite.
Earlier this month, Dunne stunned her fans by collaborating with actress Sydney Sweeney’s new lingerie brand for this weekend’s Stagecoach country music festival in Coachella Valley.
Dunne shot the photos in front of a pink open-top car with a full face of makeup, a white top, jean shorts, and the lingerie brand’s shorts.
The Daily Mail recently spoke to Livvy’s sister, Julz, who has often been credited as the ‘brains’ behind the former LSU star’s incredible rise on social media.
‘I really call myself a professional older sister,’ Julz admitted, detailing a day-to-day life that involves partnerships, strategy and protecting their family-built brand.
Peeling back the curtain, she said the transition from student-athletes to a global entity wasn’t part of a grand plan but rather a natural journey built on sisterly loyalty.
‘We grew the brand for the love of it,’ she says. ‘We did social media because we truly enjoyed doing that and the business just grew around us.’
