The perception of favoritism was so strong that an online call was made to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and the Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) to hold them “responsible for unethical conduct” in Regan’s selection for the Olympic team. A petition has been started.
However, that claim was clearly proven to be false, and the petition was withdrawn.
“Contrary to widespread misinformation, Dr. Gunn’s husband and Ray Gunn’s coach was not a member of the selection or review committee,” the statement, confirmed by AAP and AusBreaking, said. It’s dark. “This would be a conflict of interest and the Olympics have strict standards and this type of behavior will never be tolerated.”
Speaking about the persistent allegations, Regan said he was most hurt by how the rumors affected the “reputation and integrity” of the breaking community.
“None of it is based on fact and obviously (the rumors) are still circulating,” she told The Project’s Waleed Aly, reiterating that she won the Oceania Championship fair and square.
“There were nine judges and they were all from overseas. I don’t think any of them had judged before. To be honest, I was very nervous. I won all of the competitions that were held, but this time it was my first time as a judge, so I wasn’t sure if I would win.”
Others in the breaking community have also come to Raegan’s defense since her performance at the Olympics. Martin Gillian, who was the head of the jury for the Olympic breakdancing competition, praised the instructor’s moves.
