The reason they didn't get that chance is because "Breaking" is actually a sport developed and Sponsored by the International Ballroom Dancing Federation, which it did because it failed to get Ballroom Dancing in the Olympics. So it is only represented by associations affiliated with that Federation. The International Competitive Breakdancing scene is NOT represented by them, so most legitimate breakdancers were never given the change to qualify. Gunn, who was a ballroom dancer, founded the Australian chapter of the federation in 2019, obviously to get to the Olympics and exploit the 15 minutes of fame.
