AusBreaking, the Australian governing body, broke its silence and said Raygun and her teammate Jeff Dunne were sent to France after they emerged as the top performers.
“Ultimately, Rachael Gunn and Jeff Dunne emerged as the top performers … securing their spots to represent Australia in Paris. Their selection was based solely on their performance,” AusBreaking said in its statement.
Breaking teammate Jeff Dunne made his Olympic debut alongside Raygun at the age of 16

The governing body also condemned the harassment and bullying that Raygun has been subjected to following the Olympics.
“We condemn the global online harassment and bullying of Raygun,” they said. “The pressure to perform on the Olympic stage is immense, especially against the opponents in her particular group. We stand in solidarity with Raygun.”
