Olympics: Rachael 'Raygun' Gunn has made a public apology in her first interview since her Paris performance.
Rachael “Raygun” Gunn has finally faced the music in her first sit down interview since the furore erupted over her controversial Paris Olympic performance.Debate has raged around the world since her performance where she failed to score in any of her three battles at the Olympics.
While the wild aftermath of the performance saw the Australian Olympic team rally around her with mental health support and the suggestion to get off social media immediately as the storm kicked off, but the reaction still broke through.“I did preview some comments and I was like, ‘Oh, no’, and this kind of sick feeling started coming out. I was like, ‘Oh, goodness! What has happened?’”“That was really wild,” Gunn said.
Gunn said she hadn’t watched back her performance from the Olympics, but added “that’s not unusual for me”, suggesting she doesn’t watch her battles back.“It was really sad, how much hate that it did evoke,” she said. “But in the last year, I have trained my hardest, I have trained so hard — learning power moves in your mid-30s is not easy.
