When breaking first appeared at the Olympics in Paris, Gunn participated in three contests where he didn’t manage to earn even one point. .
The shirt that was sold wasn’t Gunn’s famous green one that she had worn during her performance. Her routine included uniquely Australian movements like the hopping kangaroo and the sprinkler.

"Amazing!!! I can't believe my autographed shirt sold for so much!!!" she commented on an image of the eBay auction outcome, along with a mind-blowing emoji.
Thanks to all of those who shared and provided support.
We're now even nearer to reviving Bunyip Preschool and Daycare operations.
The dancer from Sydney who works as a university lecturer was also involved in hosting a children’s charity disco fundraiser in Harden just last month.
In an interview with the local media outlet Region Riverina, Gunn mentioned that she enjoyed Christmas during her childhood in Harden. She also noted that her cousin enrolls their three kids at the Bunyip Preschool and Daycare.
A severe hailstorm hit the town last month, causing flooding and damage to the nearby preschool and daycare center.
The center is presently functioning at the Harden Showgrounds until repairs are completed on the facility. Nonetheless, in a few months, the service provider will have to move once more.
Gunn is hoping to capitalise on her worldwide attention despite her campaign drawing criticism towards herself and the Australian Olympic Committee.
In July, many thousands of individuals signed a petition demanding "prompt transparency and accountability" regarding how Gunn became eligible to represent Australia .
