Olivia Dunne got into the Christmas Eve spirit in a pretty unique way on Tuesday evening.
Dunne, who recently graduated from LSU, took to her Instagram Story to show off her impressive outing. The All-American gymnast, who is one of the most popular athletes in all of college sports, did a polar plunge. It was in the 30s in New Jersey today, but Dunne decided to get her endorphins up.
The New Jersey native took to the beach in a tiny red swimsuit to show off her freezing water tolerance. It was pretty impressive.

Dunne announced at the end of last season that she would be returning to LSU for her final season in 2024-25.
"This past year I found a renewed love of the sport. I had trained a lot in the off season, so I felt really strong and healthy from the start and ready to contribute," said Dunne. "I really enjoyed the dynamic of the team this year and it all came together well. Winning the national championships was a great team accomplishment, but I feel like I have more to give as an individual competitor."
She added: "I'm a completely different person than I was 4 years ago. I've learned how to juggle so many responsibilities, how to chase big dreams, and how to stay calm in the face of difficult challenges."
Dunne and the LSU Tigers are coming off a national championship season. She's become one of the most popular athletes in all of college sports. Dunne is hoping to pave a better path for female athletes.
"I've seen how important women's sports are to the younger generation, and I want to be part of always advocating for those opportunities."
She added: "I couldn't do another year or even another day if I didn't have the support that surrounds me from fans, family, friends, coaches and so many others! Those people cheering me on every day is what gets me through the hard days and keeps me motivated to do more."
