Since her performance failed during the Olympics, the “b-girl” has suffered a wave of attacks which prompted a reaction from the Australian Olympic Committee on Wednesday, August 15.

On the Place de la Concorde, b-girl Raygun caused a sensation. During the war in Australia, Libe described her work as follows: Rachael Gunn (real name) “Make the movements of dead fish on land”. Not too glorious, but pretty true to his work. His dance was shared widely on social networks. Many people who use the Internet make fun of the athlete, and others go so far as to doubt that he will participate in the Olympic competition.

The statement, signed by more than 55,000 people, ensures that Rachael Gunn rules the selection process to her advantage at the expense of other athletes, and suggests that the Australian coach, a member of the selection committee, will be a colleague of the dancer.

A “scary, misleading and terrifying” plea

This Thursday, August 15, the Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) responded, talking about a petition “Opressive, misleading and terrifying” and demanded that it be withdrawn immediately. “The petition contains numerous falsehoods intended to incite prejudice against an athlete who was selected for the Australian Olympic team following a fair and independent event and selection process”certified AOC.

Ridiculed and parodied around the world (even star host Jimmy Fallon got in on the act), Rachael Gunn received the support of many athletes from her country, including Jessica Fox, double gold medalist in canoe-kayak in Paris. “People are quick to be humble. You don’t deserve this.”said Kayaker when he returned to Australia on Wednesday.
