    Livvy Dune, a standout gymnast from Bergen County, took the spotlight on Wednesday's episode of "Jeopardy!" as the subject of a $1,000 question.

    The question centered around her remarkable social media following, solidifying her status as the most followed NCAA athlete on digital platforms.

    "This LSU gymnast claims the title of most followed NCAA athlete on social media," the question read.

    The contestants, including Grant DeYoung from Prescott, Arizona, Kathy Olson from Allentown, Pennsylvania, and Will Stewart from Nashville, were challenged with identifying the LSU gymnast who commands the largest digital audience. Stewart gave the answer but was asked to be more specific after at first just answering "Livvy."

    Who is Olivia Dunne?

    Hailing from the town of Hillsdale, NJ, Dunne started the gymnastics at the age of 3. She went on to compete in Italy at the 2017 Jesolo Trophy as part of the USA National Team.

    During her time at the LSU, she won the Women’s Collegiate Gymnastics Association (WCGA) Scholastic All-American title, an honor given to outstanding athletes outstanding in sports.

    Her success, however, is not limited to gymnastic bars. She has over 5 million followers on Instagram and 8 million on TikTok. Dunne posts videos of dances, behind the scenes and moments from her everyday life on her social media. ,

    It's been a busy month for Dunne, who also appeared in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue and attended the Pittsburgh Pirates game for her boyfriend Paul Skenes' MLB debut.
