Aussie breakdancer Raygun called out as an ‘amateur’

Wrong Speak Publishing founder Adam B Coleman has compared the skills of Australian Olympic breakdancer Rachael Gunn with her competitor Holy Molly.

A petition has been launched online calling for breakdancer Rachael ‘Raygun’ Gunn, as well as Australia’s Olympic Committee’s Anna Meares, to publicly apologise for Raygun’s awful Olympic performance.

“Objectively speaking, Holy Molly is quicker, she is younger, and she is more acrobatic than Raygun is,” Mr Coleman told Sky News host Rita Panahi.

“Raygun looks like she is basically an amateur.”

Looked like a drunk mum embarrassing her kids at a dance club

[celticgirl]

everyone would of laughed at her, how on earth can you call that breakdancing, has she not seen competitions before ... what an embarrassment if she's the best we've got in Australia, you just need to search it and see what they're doing and she's clearly NOT!! another why I'm glad I didn't watch the Olympics!! Reading the headlines is more fun ...

She got her spot because of pure nepotism but she can't manipulate Olympic judges for points. Got a big fat goose egg.

[morganspector]

To call Raygun an "amateur" is to insult genuine amateurs everywhere

[gam]

She achieved a lot. She trained for 30 minutes in her entire career and got break dancing removed from the Olympics. Truly worthy of an Olympic gold, she is

Goofy is a way to describe her performance, corrupt is a way to describe how she made it into the team. Quoting a friend.

The Olympics have now dropped Break Dancing...I wonder why🙂

[laryjohnson]

This should embarrass all Aussies that she was in the olympics.

Interpretive dance is not breakdancing. The Olympic committee needs fired and never allowed to be in charge of anything again. This Olympics has brought out the worst in sports in Paris. The Olympics is supposed to be the best athletes from each country competing with each other. This has been a run on the mental asylum.

DEI: Didn't Earn It.. and didn't ever take a dance class 😂

I thought she was competing in the 'Special Olympics'?

[Shekinah]

First of all, why is breakdancing in Olympics?
It’s ridiculous. Secondly, her dance is like watching an SNL skit… 🥴

[sirsillybilly]

Expect a doubling down tell-all autobiography, followed up by Albo awarding her Australian of the Year

12/10 for the guest keeping a straight face.
Thats quite some example of self discipline.

How is Break DANCING a thing, Looks like Drunks trying to walk home.

[NoWindNoSunNoPower]

It is not a sport. It should never have been at the Olympics.

[eat.food.not.friends]

I mean, come on!? She started 16 years ago! Her husband does it even longer. What happend in those over 16 years that the two have hardly improved at all?
It can only be that the two of them either have no talent at all, or that they only did it half-heartedly until the opportunity to compete in the Olympics arose!?
But even someone who has been doing this for 16 years, but only half-heartedly, should actually improve!?
How regularly do they do this?
Or do they simply not practice at all, but just compete in battles 2 or 3 times a year and then win because they have contacts and influence through their PHD?

Looks like she's on a bed having a nightmare...

Just goes to show that breakdancing has absolutely no place in the Olympics.
