The main victim of this was Australian breakdancer Rachael Gunn, who did not score a single point in her group stage dances. Not only that, her dance videos spread in the public space and she became an object of bullying.
Almost a week after these events, the Olympian herself from Australia came out publicly.
“There is a lot of false information out there and the hate that I and my family have received is overwhelming. Please stop hanging on to my family and friends, they have been through a lot.
I want to thank everyone who has shown me support. I appreciate your positive attitude and I’m glad that I could bring at least some joy,” wrote 36-year-old R. Gunn on social media.
After the bullying scandal erupted, D. Banevič also expressed his support for her.
“It’s crazy to see how people hype reviews these days, pushing all boundaries and respect for the person. It’s sad to see people focus on the negatives and criticize, even though there were a lot of great moments and important moments in the Olympic Games in the break.
Why don’t you make videos of breakdancers who have performed at the highest level? We will continue to improve and create, and some of the “experts” will continue to mock and create videos while lying on their couches.
If we want to make the world a better place, let’s start with ourselves and do it with positivity and respect. Everything starts with you, so be nice and do your own thing,” Bgirl Nicka wrote on her Instagram on Tuesday evening.
