'Raygun' continues to break out iconic moves as officials condemn online mockery

Australia’s Olympic breaking contender and viral sensation Rachael Gunn, aka 'Raygun', broke out some of her moves in the streets of Paris to celebrate the end of the Paris Olympics.

She joyfully entertained a crowd, appearing unbothered by the online mockery she has received for her routine during the Games. Officials however have slammed the critics as 'disappointing' and praised Gunn for her unique moves 'inspired by her surroundings'.

She’s not under attack. She just really sucks at breakdancing and apparently none of y’all told her.

[shpidermonky]

Lol i love the judges talking about how unique she is while giving her 0 points in 3 rounds is hilarious 🤣

[wtfhellas]

They're trying to gaslight millions of people into believing what we saw wasn't absolutely cringe and embarrassing.

[Life.is.a.library]

Its ok to appreciate her in a street performance, she's following what she loves, GREAT. But encouraging her in olympics is just crazy.

[pb]

Stop trying to normalize this as Olympic level.

[yameshraberts]

her routine looks like a bad SNL sketch.

[Ramon-pdos]

This woman is a clear example of why Raygub got sent to the Olympics. Everyone telling her shes the best when shes not.

It‘s a remarkable achievement to set break dancing back 50 years when it’s only 40 years old

She definitely wins Comedy Gold

[HuckPlays]

Funny how everyone tries to blame it on sexism or the fact that we don’t understand art, so why did all the other other female participants receive such high accolades while her “creativity” received a score of 0.

[realDesertRat]

Glad she single-handedly removed break dancing from the 2028 Olympics. It only cost the Australian people $32, 000 to send her there. So fking hilarious!

[mrvampire]

To the people criticising the “trolls”: tell me her her score again?

[ZagaLives]

She got zero points and bring shame to her country

But we're not allowed to criticize her because it makes her cry. Perhaps if her family and friends had been honest with her, she would not have globally humiliated herself

[mtnbikr]

Iconic moves? She set Australia back 100 years.

[SBahamondes]

If I had her confidence I would literally rule the world

[eric]

Some people should quit when they're behind.

[JP_]

She’s the best female breakdancer in Australia? Close up shop everybody!

[luisaguilar]

Her signature move is the Power Cringe

[mikec]

What has occurred on social media is the court of public opinion…in other words “reality”.

Zero points on the world stage, in international competition, is a clear sign that what she did was not actual breakdancing.

[ytalchemy]

Sometimes mediocrity is best kept at home.

Did the Guardian get orders to defend this nonsense?
