The 37-year-old didn't believe in any medal in the Olympic Games, but still felt she had every right to be in Paris.

On the other hand, she was doubtful whether everyone would understand her style.

The performance in Paris – which included kangaroo-like jumps – was not well received by the world.

Rachael Gunn, who is a researcher in dance and gender politics in her daily life, was ridiculed on social media and laughed at in other contexts.

In an interview with Australia's Channel 10, she now speaks out and apologizes, among other things, to the breakdancing world.

I'm really sorry for the reaction the sport has experienced.

But I can't control how people react.

Afterwards, questions have been raised about how Gunn could qualify for the Olympic Games, but it's something she quickly brushes off.

It's just a matter of looking at my results.
