Over the weekend, Olivia Dunne wowed spectators at the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Fashion Show with an impressive gymnastics move on the runway. Wearing a black and white polka dot swimsuit adorned with red bows, the national champion gymnast confidently walked the runway before dropping into a split at the end, earning cheers from the crowd.
As she made her way back down the runway, Dunne shared a playful moment with musician Xandra Pohl, touching hips in passing. She also showcased a second outfit — a bikini paired with a cropped shirt emblazoned with “Sports Illustrated Swimsuit.” Her presence and athletic flair added a unique energy to the event.
