Australian Breakdancer Goes Viral as Sport Makes Its Olympic Debut


Australian breakdancer Rachael Gunn (aka Raygun) has caused quite a stir on social media after her performance at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Gunn — who competes under the name Raygun — went viral online after her performance Friday in the round-robin stage of the women’s breaking competition, where she was swept out without earning a single point. The 36-year-old sparked dozens of memes and drew criticism from viewers for her unconventional moves while competing against the U.S.’s Logan Edra, Lithuania’s Dominika Banevič and France’s Sya Dembélé. Ultimately, Japan’s Ami Yuasa earned the gold medal for the B-girls competition, while Banevič scored silver and China’s Liu Qingyi received bronze.
