Rachael Gunn Ranked No. 1 Breakdancer Worldwide

Australian breakdancer Rachael 'Raygun' Gunn has been ranked the No. 1 female breaker in the world by the World DanceSport Federation (WDSF), despite not scoring any points at the Paris Olympics. Her ranking is primarily due to her victory at the WDSF Oceania Championships, where she earned 1,000 points, as Olympic events did not contribute to the rankings due to a strategic scheduling decision by the WDSF. The top three medalists from the Olympics, Ami Yuasa, Dominika Banevic, and Liu Qingyi, currently do not appear in the top ten rankings. The WDSF clarified that the rankings are based on the best four performances over the past year, and many points have expired due to the limited events leading up to the Olympics. The decision to elevate Raygun to the top has sparked confusion and criticism online, with many questioning the legitimacy of her ranking following her viral but lackluster Olympic performance. Despite the backlash, Raygun maintains her position, asserting that her record speaks for itself.
