Rachael Gunn has been targeted with a significant level of abuse online after failing to score a single point in her three round robin dance-offs at Paris 2024 .

The Australian Olympic Committee ( AOC ) on Thursday condemned an online petition that called for an investigation into Gunn ’s selection, saying it contained falsehoods aimed at inciting hatred against her.
