'Infinitely more skilled': Internet reacts to Aussie b-girl who lost Olympic spot to Raygun

Social media users have reacted strongly to footage of the "infinitely more skilled" breakdancer who lost to Raygun in the Olympic qualifiers.

Molly Chapman, a b-girl representing Wollongong and the Illawarra, has been dancing in the styles of Hip Hop and Breaking since 2014.

Chapman, aka Holy Molly, finished 79th out of 80 at the World Championships, where she competed against Raygun (Rachael Gunn), who finished 64th, according to the Sydney Morning Herald.

Chapman later lost to Gunn at the Oceania Championships, where Gunn secured her spot for the Olympics.

A video clip of Chapman breaking at the Red Bull BC One event last year has gone viral in the wake of Raygun's underwhelming showing at the Paris Olympics.

"This is still not an Olympic sport, however this is infinitely more skilled than what Raygun did," wrote one X user reacting to the footage of Chapman.

"The AOC needs to examine the qualifying process. Something is awry," wrote another.

That’s actual breakdancing.
What Ray did was an interpretive seizure.

They played favouritism and they thought having a PhD in breakdancing will
Impress the Olympic judges

I feel so bad for Molly … gotten her chance stripped away by some privileged talentless fraud

[Doc_Holiday]

Her 15 minutes of "shame" humiliated an entire continent

[googlericher]

Even a blind man can smell the stink of scandal. And, don`t insult kangaroo, they can dance even better than Raygun.

[Whatifginger]

Let’s just ban Raygun and her hubby, whatever they “dancing” are doing is crime against humanity

[DarinDan-ts]

Rachel Gunn : I'm was an underdog.
Dogs : don't compare us with you.

[spookshow]

There needs to be an investigation into her husband rigging the competition. It's actually disgusting.

[kevinsmith]

Not to brag but I do better than that when I walk into a spider's web.

[colinlarson]

Raygun doesn't even have any top rock, and zero ground skills. How on earth would they ever place her above Holly Molly?

[michellewright]

Thank you so much for this video. I'm American and I was searching for footage of an Australian female b-girl who was NOT Raygun to verify what I knew had to be true....y'all surely have some talented women we just didn't get to see.

She got a ''Zero'' for each of three stages, at least she shows consistency.

[PKAnane]

They nearly fooled us that Australia female break dancers don’t exist😂

[CSVR]

Gunn embarrassed herself, Australia, breakdancing, and the Olympics all in one shot.

[ravev]

She reinforced the stereotype of "white people can't dance". As much as the statement isn't necessarily true, she made it PAINFULLY true.

I feel embarrassed, and I am not even from Australia.

[francinejones]

There’s no question of it. She did take someone’s spot. Rachael took a more skilled persons spot in the Olympics.

[i-am-your-conscience]

I feel so so sad for Molly Chapman.. She not being included and instead nominating a clown like Raygun is the most horrible insult you could have given her

[dianewalker]

Australian breakdancing just isn’t very good. But how Raygun won a spot is disturbing and very questionable.

[rcuintheshed]

Stop sugar coating this bs Australia is embarrassed by this not only at her performance but the fact someone with actual talent missed out
