Letting go of something you love is never easy, especially when it’s been your whole world. For Olivia Dunne, flipping through the air and sticking landings was more than a sport-it was her identity. But even with her retirement now made official, it’s clear she’s not entirely ready to part ways with the gym, the bars, or the spark that made her a fan favorite. Still, for many of her followers, the magic they once saw in her performances seems to have dimmed.
The whispers started after Dunne posted a video on social media-one that didn’t exactly showcase her signature finesse. Instead of a gravity-defying routine, it was a clumsy moment that signaled the end of an era. It was lighthearted, sure, but also a little bittersweet for fans who weren’t quite ready to close the chapter on her LSU legacy.
From flawless to farewell
Because it’s all fun and games… until it hits you: this is it. The dream you thought would last forever has wrapped. Livvy’s journey in gymnastics was cut short after some tough injuries, and while she may have tried to laugh it off, the reality hit home. Her body had other plans-and that meant letting go of gymnastics as a professional path.
Her now-viral fall, which thankfully ended in a soft foam pit, had everyone going “ouch” for more reasons than one. Not because of the fall itself, but because fans weren’t used to seeing their golden girl stumble. The moment turned into a meme, with many joking that her “magic” vanished the moment she retired-but behind the laughs was a sense of finality that stung a bit more than expected.
The fall that said it all
Livvy’s college gymnastics journey came to a close after the No. 1 LSU Tigers wrapped their run with a third-place finish in the 2025 NCAA Championship semifinals, scoring 197.5250. Though she hadn’t competed since February due to a knee fracture, her official retirement brought the final bow. A few days later, she gave the bars one last playful try-but the less-than-stellar landing only fueled the “magic’s gone” jokes online. That ungraceful landing, face-first into the cushion, felt like the unofficial full stop to her gymnastics story.
What comes next is anyone’s guess. Will we see Livvy step back into the gym just for fun, or is this really the last flip? One thing’s for sure: whether she’s tumbling or trending, she’s got the sense of humor to roll with it. And if the magic really is gone, at least she’s still got the sparkle.

Diego Souza em comentário no programa "Boleiragem" (Reprodução - YouTube) Diego Souza não escondeu sua revolta com John Textor e toda sua diretoria do Botafogo na formação do elenco para 2025. Em sua avaliação, houve uma demora acentuada na busca por um técnico e na reposição de atletas importantes que deixaram o clube, como Thiago Almada e Luiz Henrique. Em campo, o Glorioso acumula resultados negativos e tem deixado o torcedor cada vez mais irritado com atletas e também com o treinador Renato Paiva. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADE “O que a diretoria fez de errado é impressionante. Merece um prêmio por tanta decisão errada, esse John Textor.

Seahawks’ Jalen Milroe has message for teams that passed on him in 2025 NFL Draft: ‘Belt to ass’
Getty Images The Seattle Seahawks took Jalen Milroe in the third round of the NFL Draft, a decision Milroe thinks they won't regret. Milroe, the fourth quarterback taken in the draft at No. 92 overall (No. 28 in the third round) made sure he had a message for all the teams that ended up passing on him with the first 91 picks. "Belt to ass."Milroe certainly isn't forgetting being the fourth quarterback taken and has the mentality he's the best quarterback in the draft. While Milroe finished with the most touchdowns in the SEC last season (36), he also had the most turnovers (15). He had 16 passing touchdowns and 20 rushing touchdowns, the latter was the third most for a quarterback in SEC history. Milroe led the SEC with 71 total touchdowns over the past two seasons (39 pass, 32 […]

Wegen Umbruch im Sommer – Real-Star auf der Streichliste

Torcedores do Valladolid criticam Ronaldo, dono do clube, após rebaixamento: ‘Antes era visto como Deus, agora é como o diabo’
Nesta quinta (24), o Valladolid perdeu de 5 a 1 para o Bétis, e foi rebaixado para a 2ª divisão do campeonato espanhol, com cinco rodadas de antecedência. Esse é o terceiro rebaixamento do clube desde que foi comprado por Ronaldo, em 2018. Por isso, o ex-artlheiro da seleção brasileira se tornou figura não grata entre os torcedores do time, que o consideram "um dos piores donos de clube da história". Novo treinador: Dorival confirma 'sim' ao CorinthiansLeilão: Camisa de estreia de Kobe Bryant no Lakers é vendida por R$ 40 milhões O jornal americano New York Times acompanhou a partida contra o Bétis na quinta e ouviu a avaliação de torcedores sobre Ronaldo. — Ronaldo é um dos melhores jogadores da história do futebol, ninguém duvida disso.
