The performance of the Australian Rachael Gunn in breaking caused outrage and various suspicions all over the world. The Olympian is now apologizing for what she did to her sport.

She jumped like a kangaroo, crawled on the ground and did not win a single point from the judges for her strange performances and lost all fights under five rings.

Her fans could not absorb the concept of break dancing, and from her native Australia, condemning voices began to be heard, saying that she had mocked the whole country and the local breaking community, which had heard many taunts.

“I am saddened to have to listen to this criticism, and I am very sorry to the whole community for the harsh reactions you have had to hear. But I have no control over how people react,” Gunn said about the aftermath of her Olympic start on Network 10’s The Project.

For example, the singer Adele paused over her performances, who during a concert in Munich commented to Gunn that she did not know if it was a joke or if it was meant seriously.

The world was also amused by actress Rachel Dratch, who parodied Gunn on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. “Gunn made a mockery of the whole Australian scene, it hurt a lot of us,” Spice, a hip-hop marketer on the green continent, told the BBC.

There was also speculation that her qualification for the Olympics was a hoax involving her husband.

“Those conspiracy theories were terrible. I was the best female breaker in Australia in 2020, 2022 and 2023. I was invited to many world championships, so I have the results. But then anything can happen in the race,” she denied the accusations.

The 36-year-old dancer, who also practices break dancing in her academic career, explained her eccentric performance under the five rings by trying to compensate for her athletic shortcomings with artistic performance.

“I knew I couldn’t beat those girls with what they are best at, which is dynamism and power moves. I wanted to move differently and thereby stand out,” she said.
