This weekend LSU traveled to Auburn for a match where Auburn won 197.75 to 197.5.

And the two old friends, the social media stars, posed together for a TikTok video, with Dan begging Lee to join her for the Tigers, her team.

The video, predictably, became a hit, with more than 5 million views in a matter of days, one of Dunn's most viral TikToks to date.



"Here I am, trying to convince my Olympic champion friend to transfer to LSU..." Dunn wrote in the caption of her video, in which she was heard saying: "It would be so awesome, it would be so cool."

Dunn then wrote "It was worth a try..." in a post she shared with her 7.1 million followers.



For Lee, this is her last season in collegiate competition, as she will shift her focus to preparing for the 2024 Olympics in Paris.

"Isn't that a violation of NCAA rules?"

Someone responded to Dan in the comments, and she replied: "I don't know, it's a joke, just tik tok."

Dunn stirs up a commotion

Dunn was at the center of an uproar last month, forcing LSU to increase security measures on her.

During a meet between the Louisiana State and Utah gymnastics teams, Dunn's fans nearly fell over each other chanting her name, carrying signs with life-size pictures of her and handwritten signs that read "We Want Livvy."

They made so much noise that they disrupted the exercises of other competitors.



The throngs of young men then surrounded the entrance and exits of the hall and waited for Dan, thus forcing her squad to park the bus in place for their own safety.

She is only 20 years old, from New Jersey, studying for a master's degree in communication studies at LSU.

According to the university's website, during her freshman season in 2021, she was named an Academic All-American (national recognition honoring the academic and athletic achievements of student-athletes) and named to the Collegiate Athletic Association Academic Honor Roll.

In 2018, she competed at the USA Championships alongside Olympic gymnasts Simone Biles and Sonissa Lee, where she placed 18th.



On social media, Dunn goes by the name Livvy. In total, she has more than 10 million followers on TikTok, Instagram and Twitter. TikTok publishes videos that combine gymnastics performances, dancing in bikinis and participating in fashion dance challenges with other influencers.



College gymnastics has always been a successful business in the US over the years, but according to US websites, "Who would have thought that one humorous photo of two female gymnasts would spark Such a thing."
