The Paris Olympics already had enough fire in it with all kinds of controversies spilling out. However, towards the very end, the limelight shifted from Paris to the Australian breakdancing team who were called out for sending Rachel ‘Raygun’ Gunn to the Women’s Breaking Dance event at Paris.
Moves that were denounced by the entire break-dancing universe were being performed by Gunn and now there are rumors that there might be a massive conspiracy behind the entire scene.
As questions continue to deluge the horizon about how Raygun managed to qualify for the Paris Olympics in the first place, the response from the country’s break-dancing authority, Australian Breaking Association said that she was the best that the country could offer. However, for obvious reasons fans and fellow break dancers have snubbed the answer.
There are more than ample points to underscore what went wrong with Rachel Gunn, but one of the most talked-about points in the last 24 hours state that she was not even in the top ten in the global breakdancing contests. Out of nowhere when the Oceania championships in Sydney happened, she managed to wipe out all her preceding woes and came first which helped her qualify for the event in Paris, as per the report of CNN.
That is not the end, however. Another theory suggests that Australian Breaking Association (ABA), the authority that was responsible in the first place to pick the ones who should be representing the country in the event was founded by Rachel Gunn and her husband, Samuel Free.
However, Sydney Morning Herald refuted the claims where Gunn pointed to her qualification as the breakdancer in the Summer Games after acing the Oceania championships, which according to her, was a really stressful contest. Gunn’s performance did find a mention in the iconic Jimmy Fallon talk show while Adele also pointed out that her performance was fantastic with a dash of humor.
