Am I misremembering or did they cancel that category after her performance? I have a vague memory that breakdancing had only recently been accepted as a discipline and then she did that and they decided to remove the discipline again…? Might have been a fever hallucination after I saw her performance. Wishful thinking, probably.
It was announced to not be included in the 2028 olympics back in 2022. It’s up to the hosts to decide which extra competitions are included, Flag Football and Squash will be added new, while Baseball, Softball, Lacrosse, and Cricket are being added after being olympic sports previously but not in 2024.
She is coached by her husband, Samuel Free,[10] and says that she trains three to four hours a day.[11] Gunn ranked second in the Australian Open B-girl Ranking in 2022[12] and topped the ranking in 2023 in Australia[13] as well as winning or coming in the top three at many Australian breaking events in the previous five to ten years.[14] She represented Australia at the World Breaking Championships in Paris (2021), Seoul (2022), and Leuven (2023).[7][3] In 2023, she won the Oceania Breaking Championships, defeating Molly Chapman (“Holy Molly”) in the final,[15] and secured her spot in the 2024 Summer Olympics according to the qualifying rules.[3][4]
I just don’t understand the resume compared to what she presented in the olympics. It just seems like she would have a pretty good understanding of the sport, but her performance showed a lack of a lot of things.
Already happened before:

Ah, thanks for the clarification. So it was only half a hallucination I had there, lol.
It was only a demonstration sport, like a guest performance as it were.
I just don’t understand how this happened. Did no one else on the Australian team see her dance and be like ???
I saw the Australian guy’s dance and he at the very least knew what he was doing.

Why’s she pretending to be a t-rex?
That’s supposed to be a kangaroo, but she failed so badly
Oh, I thought that was some kind of kung-fu.
