The Australian breaking organization AUSBreak is defending Olympic breaker Raygun from allegations that she cheated to land a spot at the 2024 Paris games
.
In a statement released Tuesday, August 12, AUSBreak declared that the selection process for Australia’s breaking team aligned with International Olympic Committee standards to “ensure a fair and transparent outcome.” “Ultimately, Rachael Gunn and Jeff Dunne emerged as the top performers in exactly the same process, securing their spots to represent Australia in Paris,” the message continued. “Their selection was based solely on their performance in their battles on that day. In the leadup to Paris, Raygun used her platform as the Australian Breaking representative to consistently advocate in the media for Breaking’s history, artistic and athletic values, and its cultural origins.
Meanwhile, Raygun’s critics are requesting that she be held accountable for her viral routine, in which the athlete seemingly did toe touches as she laid on one side and slid across the floor.
