Australian breaker Rachael Gunn has apologized to the breakdancing community after her much-ridiculed Olympic performance at the Paris Olympics that grabbed the headlines worldwide. In her first interview since the event, Gunn defended herself as Australia's top-B girl. (More Sports News)
As per a report in the news.com.au, in an interview with The Project, Gunn said she regrets over the backlash she received post Olympics. 바카라It바카라s really sad to hear those criticisms. I바카라m sorry for the backlash the community has faced, but I can바카라t control how people react,바카라 Gunn was quoted.
Gunn also spoke on what she went through during the ordeal, that included cameras and paparazzi's chasing after her on the streets. She said, 바카라That was really wild. If people are chasing me, what do I do? But that really did put me in a state of panic.바카라
The sport of breaking made its Olympic debut in Paris, and one of the lasting images was the performance of Gunn, a 36-year-old university professor from Sydney 바카라 who did a 바카라kangaroo dance바카라 among other questionable moves during her routine 바카라 and did not receive a single point from any of the nine judges in either round.
Gunn was subsequently mocked for her efforts, including a parody on 바카라The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon바카라 in the United States. In the video, she said she was subjected to abuse that went beyond criticism of her dance moves.
바카라I바카라d really like to ask the press to please stop harassing my family, my friends, the Australian breaking community and the broader street dance community,바카라 she had said. 바카라Everyone has been through a lot as a result of this. So I ask you to please respect their privacy.바카라
Gunn received strong support from Australian Olympic team leader Anna Meares while in Paris.
