2024 Olympics: Australian Breakdancer Raygun Reacts Over Criticism After Controversial Routine

At this point, does anyone remember who actually won the gold medal in women’s breaking at the 2024 Olympics?

For the record, that was Ami Yuasa, a.k.a. B-Girl Ami, of Japan. 

But the Internet has been far more obsessed with Australia’s Rachael Gunn, or B-Girl Raygun, who went infectiously viral toward the end of the Paris Games for the opposite reason of why an athlete would want to take social media by storm.

“me forcing my mom to watch the dance i made up in the pool,” read one Aug. 9 post on X reacting to Gunn’s performance during the event-opening round robin. Noted another, “I kinda feel bad for RayGun, the Aussie #BreakingForGold—but that routine was hilariously ridiculous.”

Even de facto ambassador of joy Snoop Dogg seemingly endorsed the pile-on, posting a montage of a bunch of other Olympic breakers on Instagram Aug. 12 with the caption, “This was the real stuff!!! Respect.”

Needless to say, Gunn’s moves were judged as not only not-ready-for-primetime, but not-ready-for-any-time on a world stage such as the Olympics.
