News summary

Australian breakdancer Rachael Gunn, known as 'Raygun,' has publicly apologized for the backlash her performance at the Paris Olympics caused within the breakdancing community. During her viral Olympic routine, Gunn scored zero points and faced widespread ridicule, including a sketch on Jimmy Fallon's 'The Tonight Show.' Critics accused her of nepotism and rigging the qualification process, but these claims were debunked as she confirmed winning the Oceania Championships with independent international judges. Gunn acknowledged her unique style might not have been well received, and she has sought mental health support amid the intense online criticism. Despite the negativity, she stands by her qualifications and hopes for more resources for Australian breakdancers to succeed globally.
