When Olivia Dunne made her feelings known about the next steps of her career

After winning the 2024 NCAA National Championship, Olivia Dunne sat for a conversation with the New York Post. Here, she spoke about her future plans, opening up about her relationships with brands, such as Sports Illustrated.

Dunne revealed that she would like to extend the relationship beyond college. Calling the brand her family, she said:

"I feel like [Sports Illustrated] is something that can last beyond college. I think that’s important, creating a substantial brand that will last post-college. And [SI Swim] is one of those, I don’t even want to call it a partnership, because they’re like family to me. That’s been amazing," said Olivia Dunne.

The 23-year-old further spoke about her team's NCAA win, adding:

"Winning the championship was so exciting for not only our team but the whole university. And that's a feeling I want to feel that again. It was so special in the bond with the girls.

Now that Olivia Dunne has retired from gymnastics, she has collaborated with multiple magazines. She recently posed in a black and white photoshoot for Maxim magazine.
