Rachael Gunn's retirement from competitive breaking stems from the overwhelming scrutiny and ridicule she faced after her performance at the Paris Olympics, despite the viral fame.
Despite an explosive rise in popularity and some positive acknowledgment, including praise from Adele, Gunn found the scrutiny and conspiracy theories surrounding her performance to be profoundly upsetting.
Gunn expressed that she previously intended to continue competing, but the negativity surrounding her performance made it difficult to approach competitions, influencing her decision to retire.
After failing to progress past the first round, Gunn felt powerless over the public's perception of her, leading her to step back from competitive breaking altogether.
