Gymnastics Career Ended, Olivia Dunne Proudly Cheers for Boyfriend Paul Skenes After Huge Win Over LA Dodgers

“That’s exactly how the past 20 years in this sport have felt,” said Olivia Dunne as the 22-year-old bid her goodbye to gymnastics. On Monday, 21st April, the social media sensation took to her social media to announce she is saying goodbye to gymnastics – a sport that has been a part of her life since she was 2. With the 2025 NCAA season being over, Olivia Dunne’s collegiate gymnastics career has also come to a full stop, and with no intention to go elite, the woman retired. So what does she do now? Well, in the past, she has hinted at moving to Pittsburgh to live with her boyfriend, while there may be time for that, she is in the stands, and she is cheering.

The Pittsburgh Pirates sailed their ship all the way to the island of Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles for their next loot. They went up against the LA Dodgers on April 25 to claim a victory on their home grounds. The Pirates won by the score of 3-0. To say it was all an LA crowd in the Dodger Stadium would be an overstatement since Pittsburgh’s pitcher, Paul Skenes’ girlfriend, Olivia Dunne, was in the stands, and she couldn’t contain her excitement over the win.

She posted a moment she recorded in the match where her boyfriend made the pitch against Dodgers number 17, Shohei Otani. The rivalry between the two goes back to when, last year, Skenes struck out Ohtani on three consecutive 100+ mph fastballs, but Ohtani responded later with a two-run homer off the pitcher. However, this time around, he couldn’t do much. In the TikTok posted by the former gymnast, you can see her lifting her hand, and then the camera switches to this point in the match.

Now Ohtani misses the ball, and it’s a strike. The camera comes back to Olivia, where she first makes an excited face and then makes the gesture of a roaring lion with a paw…or maybe it was a cat. Paul Skenes did roar like a lion. The man struck out nine over 6 1/3 scoreless innings and also hit his career-high 108 pitches as he outdueled Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who entered on an 18-inning scoreless streak.

The story is developing….
