The Australian sporting body that sent Rachael Gunn to the Olympics has issued its first statement on the 36-year-old’s controversial appearance, defending the qualifying process and her place on the team. ‘Raygun’ has been backed by the very top of the world’s breaking community since her debut in Paris became a viral sensation. The 36-year-old university professor lost all three of her battles by a combined score of 54-0, prompting a hostile response.
general secretary Sergey Nifontov was in direct contact with Gunn and Australian Olympic officials. “We offered support of our safe-guarding officer,” he said. “We are aware about what has happened, especially on social media, and definitely we should put the safety of the athlete, in this case, mental safety in first place. “She has us as a federation supporting her.” Olympic breaking’s head judge Martin Gilian praised Gunn for bringing something original to the table.
