I just don't understand how this happened. Did no one else on the Australian team see her dance and be like ???

I saw the Australian guy's dance and he at the very least knew what he was doing.

She is coached by her husband, Samuel Free,[10] and says that she trains three to four hours a day.[11] Gunn ranked second in the Australian Open B-girl Ranking in 2022[12] and topped the ranking in 2023 in Australia[13] as well as winning or coming in the top three at many Australian breaking events in the previous five to ten years.[14] She represented Australia at the World Breaking Championships in Paris (2021), Seoul (2022), and Leuven (2023).[7][3] In 2023, she won the Oceania Breaking Championships, defeating Molly Chapman ("Holy Molly") in the final,[15] and secured her spot in the 2024 Summer Olympics according to the qualifying rules.[3][4]

I just don't understand the resume compared to what she presented in the olympics. It just seems like she would have a pretty good understanding of the sport, but her performance showed a lack of a lot of things.
