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.
