Olivia Dunne had one of the best seats in the house as Simone Biles and Team USA won Olympic gold in Paris on Tuesday.

Biles' gold in the team finals makes her the most decorated Olympic gymnast in USA history and Dunne, a gymnast at LSU and a huge TikTok personality, made sure she was there to witness history.

The 21-year-old shared a TikTok video from her seat where she watched Biles perform, uploading the video with the excitable caption of: 'GO USA RAHHH'.


In the comments underneath, Dunne answered one fan who said: 'You need to be in the Olympics fr (for real)' with the comment: 'LA 2028 baby'.

Dunne was a part of LSU's NCAA-winning gymnastics team last year - their first ever national championship.

Biles became USA's most decorated gymnast in Olympic history in France on Tuesday 

Earlier in the day, Dunne had posted a picture from her Instagram of her basking in the French sunshine. 

Her comments on TikTok mark a change in attitude for Dunne, who earlier in July said she wouldn't ever try to compete in an Olympics.

'I don’t think I’m going to try for the Olympics or anything after, since I once competed for Team USA and I closed that chapter and went to LSU,' she told the New York Post. 

But perhaps witnessing the heroics of Biles and her team has inspired a change of heart for Dunne, who will be 25 when the next Games are held in Los Angeles in 2028.

Biles, 27, said after her gold that she vanquished the demons from the Tokyo Games where she struggled with the infamous 'twisties'.

Biles said: 'We're super excited. We're honored to represent the US every time we get on a world stage but accomplishing that gold and that goal was just an amazing feeling.

‘I think we all had something to prove from Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games and tonight we did just that.

‘It means the world. This was our goal going in, even though we didn't share it with everybody because it's just a personal thing that we were working on. 

'But I think for everybody it's what we came here to do. And we're super excited to walk away with that gold medal.'
