Paris Olympics witness shocking breakdancing debut.
The Paris 2024 Olympics were supposed to be a groundbreaking moment for breakdancing.
For the first time in history, the sport made its debut on the world’s biggest stage.
Yet, the event is now infamous for one reason: Raygun’s performance.
Aussie breakdancer scores unbelievable zero at Olympics.
Raygun, real name Rachael Gunn, is a 36-year-old Australian breakdancer.
Her routine during the competition left spectators and judges stunned—not in awe, but in disbelief.
Raygun’s score? A resounding zero. Yes, you read that right.
But what on Earth went wrong for the Sydney university lecturer turned breakdancing sensation?
Raygun’s long road to Olympic fame exposed.
This wasn’t Raygun’s first rodeo. She had earned her spot fair and square.
She secured her ticket to Paris by winning the Oceania qualifier.
Raygun’s journey to the Olympics was an uphill battle from the start.
Breakdancing has long been a male-dominated sport, with B-Girls often struggling for recognition.
Raygun fought her way through, blending academic life with her passion for breaking.
A lecturer by day, she spent nights perfecting her moves, crafting a routine that she hoped would wow the world.
And, wow, did it make headlines—but not for the reasons she wanted.
Raygun’s routine triggers online backlash.
The routine, which featured kangaroo-like hops, aimed to embody the spirit of Australia.
Raygun was trying to bring something unique, something original to the table.
Unfortunately, originality wasn’t enough this time.
The judges, including the respected MGbility (Martin Gilian), didn’t hold back.
Judge speaks out on why Raygun’s routine fell flat.
According to MGbility, Raygun’s performance simply didn’t measure up.
“Her level was maybe not as high as the other competitors,” he admitted, with a twinge of regret.
He stressed that it wasn’t about Raygun doing poorly, but rather, her competition was just better.
The comparative judging system wasn’t in her favor, despite her best efforts.
“We have five criteria in the comparative judging system,” MGbility explained.
“Her competitors were just better, but it doesn’t mean she did really bad.”
That zero wasn’t just a number—it was a harsh verdict on the global stage.
Raygun’s routine becomes an instant meme.
Raygun’s artistic interpretation didn’t resonate with the judges, and the internet wasn’t kind either.
Memes flooded social media, and her kangaroo hops became a punchline overnight.
Yet, Raygun remained unflinching in her resolve.
“All my moves are original. Creativity is really important to me,” she said, defending her art.
Raygun’s performance, she believes, was about more than scores—it was about artistry.
The sport won’t return for the Los Angeles 2028 Games, casting doubt on its longevity.
For now, Raygun will continue to dance to her own beat, even if the world isn’t always ready for it.
