Olivia Dunne will be rooting for the ‘GOAT’ Simone Biles when she steps out on the mat at the Paris Olympics

The Louisiana State University gymnast, who is returning to college to compete with the LSU Tigers for a fifth year, gushed over the seven-time Olympic medalist.

‘Simone has always been a GOAT and I think that this is like her revenge tour. What happened in 2020 was a freak thing and I think that she is out for revenge,’ Dunne told Sports Illustrated on the red carpet at the ESPY Awards last week.

At 27, Biles is now the oldest member of Team, and is slated to compete in a full range of events when the Games kick off in Paris later this month.

She is already back in top form, winning the all-around at the trials, and is on track to become the most decorated American gymnast in the history of the Olympics should she take home a medal.

Dunne, for her part, had a short stint on the U.S. national team as a teenager before accepting a LSU scholarship
