Viral Breakdancer Raygun Retires From Competition After Olympic Backlash | E! News

[AdventuresWithArlo]

Took an opportunity from a legitimate competitor to make a mockery of the sport. 🙄🙄

[famemontana]

It looks like she watched 3 YouTube videos about break dancing then said “you know what…….i think I’m the best in the world to ever do this” 😂

[reneetofae]

She should never have started again sincerely apologise to the rest of the world from Australia

[Retdf-es]

her breaking looks like shes mocking the sport. thats why they didnt take her seriously.

[sliickriick]

She's ridiculous. How do you retire from something she never did.

[kornkidgaming]

Someone who cared about her should have told her what she was doing wasn't Olympic material and about the real possibility of a negative reception. Her performance wasn't professional by any stretch and the people she trusted around her didn't help at all, in-turn, her feelings were hurt on a world stage. Honesty is still the best policy as cliché as that sounds.

[LAstudio]

If she retires the breakdance community is done

[itendj]

Oh thank God! She probably now realized how bad her performance was. Did someone in her circle finally tell her or did she figure that out on her own?

[batz]

The funny thing is she's more famous than the person who won the gold.

[meestaShin]

She's yet to apologize. She thinks she did nothing wrong.

[munchyman]

It's not really hate but people were dumbfounded over that she was the best you found to represent Australia.

[jorgerafaelmariatavarez]

I mean, people it’s not hating her as a person, the hating is of her performance as a breakdancer, and it’s not an opinion of only the people, even the judges demonstrated how she performed by their score

[marcusm]

Ray Gun did for breakdancing what Steven Hawking did for the Mens 100 metre race.

[jjcs]

Retire???? You have to have a career in it first. Raygun never even started! What she did was not breakdancing.

[maryloumata]

Youve inspired me to never break dance! You presented yourself self as a false fake break dancer.

[HoneyLove-phtv]

How on earth did she qualify in the first place?

[ramblingsandretrospect]

She’s retiring? When did she start breakdancing? 🤨

[gypsywoman]

Has she watched her own performance? That in itself is reason to retire. She only did one move, the head thing, that not everyone can do...and while she did it better than I could, I'm sure plenty of break dancers can do it better than her

[davidvelazquez]

The galactic levels of delusion about the dancing abilities of this woman lead her not only to base her doctoral studies on breakdancing, but to have an entire sport deleted from the potentially future Olympic events.

[Veronicat-ofnz]

She embarrassed not just herself but whole Australia because they let her to compete. Why they are taking her in tv to get more attention? Olympic Games is not a place to troll and people who try that should not be given any extra media time.
