The Australian Olympic Committee has strongly criticized an online petition targeting Australian breaking competitor Rachael Gunn, calling it 'vexatious, misleading, and bullying.' Gunn, known as Raygun, made her Olympic debut in the sport of breaking at the Paris Games last weekend. Her performance, which included a 'kangaroo dance' and other unconventional moves, resulted in zero points and drew significant criticism.
Despite the backlash, Gunn received support from Australian team chef de mission Anna Meares while in Paris. The AOC has now refuted various false claims circulating online, including those in the petition that accused Gunn of manipulating the Olympic qualification process.
