Pittsburgh Pirates ace Paul Skenes' girlfriend, Olivia Dunne, revisited her gymnastics stint with the LSU Tigers on Wednesday.

The Tigers shared throwback pictures featuring Dunne from earlier this year on Instagram. One of them showed the former LSU gymnast wearing big glasses.

"It was time for admin to clear the camera roll," the post was captioned.

Dunne, who retired from gymnastics in April, shared the post on her Instagram story and compared her look to Clark Kent, the renowned comic book character Superman's alter ego.

"Tbt to my Clark Kent era," Dunne captioned her story.
