She is BREACH the internet.
A breakdancer is going viral on social media after it was revealed she lost out to fellow Australian Rachael “Raygun” Gunn for a place at the Olympics.
Molly Chapman’s video showing off her moves has garnered more than 9 million views since it was posted on X on Tuesday, with many viewers saying she should have been chosen to represent her country instead of Gunn.
Both Chapman and Gunn flew to Belgium last September to compete in the 2023 WDSF World Championships, which served as a qualifying event for this year’s Olympics.
Among the 80 participants, Chapman finished 79th and Gunn finished 64th, meaning neither qualified for the Games.
The two Aussies then competed in a second qualifying event – the 2023 WDSF Oceania Championships held in Sydney last October.
There, 10 panelists ultimately chose to send Gunn to the Games.
However, some who saw Chapman show off her moves in the viral video were confused by the judges’ decision.
“Half of her routine looks like what Raygun tried to do but couldn’t actually pull off,” said one.
“She can actually dance, how did she miss?” asked another.
Others were not impressed by Chapman’s dancing skills.
“That was too bad,” said one savage.
“Still not good enough,” declared a second. “Excuse me.
Gunn has been widely mocked after she scored zero points during the break competition at the Paris Olympics after a series of bizarre routines, which included a “kangaroo dance”.
The panel of nine judges scored based on five criteria: technique, vocabulary, execution, musicality and originality.
However, the 36-year-old was praised by Australia’s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.
“It’s an Australian tradition of people wanting to go. She has represented our country and that is a good thing,” he said.
