There's no mention of any of this in an article about how she qualified. In fact, you can go and watch her qualifications on YouTube and it looks like she did 1v1 battles against some mediocre opposition and won each time.

From what I could find, her husband's name is Samuel Free and I can't find his name listed on either the AusBreaking or DanceSport Australia websites.

Maybe some Lemmy sleuths can find something to confirm that something nefarious was going on here, but to me it just looks like the idea that her qualification was rigged is just a Reddit rumour. If anything, it looks more likely that she participated in a closed qualification system that didn't allow for the best competitors to show up
