Australian breakdancer Rachael "Raygun" Gunn faced intense backlash after her unconventional performance at the inaugural Olympic breakdance competition in Paris, where she lost all her matches without scoring. Despite the ridicule, including memes and social media mockery, Gunn defended her routine as a reflection of her hard work and unique style, asserting she qualified legitimately through the Oceania championships. In a recent interview, she expressed her disappointment over the criticism, labeling it 'alarming' and suggesting that the negative reactions stem from a misunderstanding of her approach. Gunn emphasized the need for more resources in Australia to elevate the competitive scene and addressed accusations of manipulating the qualification process, which sparked a petition with over 50,000 signatures. Additionally, she revealed that she has not watched her entire routine and is still processing the overwhelming public reaction. Amidst the controversy, she remains proud of her role in representing Australia at the Olympics and in breaking's debut on such a grand stage.
