In keeping with inquiries concerning the score, the WDSF mentioned its device didn’t come with the Olympic pageant or qualifiers.
“Due the unique circumstances regarding ranking events this year, it is not unusual in the period immediately following the Olympic Games for some athletes to be ranked according to a single event,” the WDSF mentioned in a observation.
It mentioned Gunn had positioned first on the Oceania Continental Championships in October 2023.
“Until WDSF ranking events recommence later this year, therefore, the world rankings as they currently stand should be interpreted in conjunction with results from recent global Breaking competitions for a more accurate reflection of the global competitive landscape,” the WDSF added.
“I really appreciate the positivity, and I’m glad I was able to bring some joy in your lives,” Gunn mentioned in a observation posted on social media as she confronted a barrage of complaint and on-line abuse nearest her look on the Olympics. “That’s what I hoped. I didn’t realize that would open the door to so much hate, which has frankly been pretty devastating.”
“I went out there and I had fun,” she mentioned. “I did take it very seriously. I worked my butt off preparing for the Olympics, and I gave my all.”
Breaking, which made its debut as an Olympic tournament on the Paris Video games, isn’t at the program for the then Summer season Olympics, scheduled for 2028 in Los Angeles, California.
