Although Dunn wasn’t supposed to compete that day, she was with her team. The stands were full of fans with posters of her and were shouting at her like she was a pop star.

After the contest, a large group of people gathered outside the John M. Huntsman Center. They wanted to take pictures with the gymnast. The behavior of those present was later described as disrespectful by those who experienced it firsthand.

– When we went to the car, a group gathered around my daughter and her teammate. They said straight to her: “You’re not Livvi, but you will. Can we get a picture.” The group referred to my daughter as “Livvy 2.0”. Jennifer Hoffman says they were rude and disrespectful.

She is the mother of another gymnast, Gillian Hoffman. According to the Outkick website, I wrote about this in social media.

Hoffman is said to have added in her letter that her daughter and the others were not harassed, attacked or harmed in any way.

This prompted Dunn to reach out to his many fans.

– I will always appreciate and love your support, but if you go to an event, I must ask you to behave respectfully towards other athletes and the gymnastics environment. And she wrote: We are just doing our job.

Journalist Josh Furlong, who works for KSL Sports, was also at the scene and described what he witnessed via Twitter. He says, among other things, that the police were there to control the crowd and that LSU had to move the team bus to avoid a large group of boys.

– Teenage boys literally stand in line outside the Jon M. Huntsman Center and keep asking when Levvie is out. He told the reporter about the scene that unfolded outside the gym, I’ve never seen anything like it.

– horrifying

Videos of the incident were also posted online and showed the two boys repeatedly screaming at the 20-year-old.

– This is actually very scary, annoying and petty. Former gymnast, now TV personality, Samantha Peszyk commented, according to the New York Post, that I’m embarrassed about them.

That college sports be big in the United States is nothing new, but for a gymnast to create such conditions should be unusual.

Dunn was previously part of the USA Gymnastics team, but now competes at the college level under the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). In addition to this, she is studying at the University of Louisiana.
