Raygun Tops DanceSport Rankings Amid Controversy
News summary

Australian breakdancer Rachael 'Raygun' Gunn has been named the world's top female breakdancer by the World DanceSport Federation (WDSF), despite not scoring any points at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Her ranking is based on her win at the Oceania Continental Championship in October 2023, which earned her 1,000 points. The WDSF clarified that Olympic events and qualifiers did not contribute to the rankings due to limited athlete quotas and a strategic decision to allow athletes to focus on the Games. This ranking decision has been widely criticized within the breaking community for not reflecting the true competitive landscape, with critics arguing that the WDSF lacks credibility and fails to organize culturally relevant events. The ranking system will be updated after the next WDSF Breaking for Gold World Series in October 2024. Meanwhile, Raygun has announced plans to take a break from competing and will return to her academic role at Macquarie University.
