Despite this, the World DanceSport Federation (WDSF) launched their newest rankings for September, which had Gunn in first place. Japan’s “Riko” and Ukraine’s “Stefani” had been named within the second and third spots.
Gunn, 37, was in a position to land the highest spot on the listing because of successful the WDSF Oceania Championship earlier this 12 months, incomes her 1,000 factors and her ticket to the Olympics.
Meanwhile, the Olympics didn’t rely towards this month’s rankings. The three ladies who took house medals this 12 months, Ami “Ami” Yuasa, Dominika “Nicka” Banevic and Liu “671” Qingyi, weren’t on the listing.
As information of Gunn’s new rating was introduced, a number of customers who had seen her Olympic efficiency took to social media to share their confusion. “What a disgrace to real break dancers across the world,” one person wrote on X (previously Twitter). Another posted, “There’s no way this is real.”
Before the primary rating was introduced, Gunn advised The Project that she deliberate on taking a break from competing following the Olympics.
“I don’t think I’ll be competing for a while. Not really wanting to be in the spotlight, breaking, competing,” she mentioned on The Project. “It’s been nice. It’s been a bit of a process to try and start dancing again. Like, that’s actually been tough. You know, it was my medicine, and then it turned into my source of stress.”
Gunn continued, “So, I’m really happy that it gets to go back to being my medicine. I can kind of finally feel free again. I’m looking forward to breaking, but, no, I don’t think I’ll compete for a while.”
