Australian breakdancer Raygun has finally spoken out, and it’s a must-see.
Rachael Gunn becomes internet sensation.
The Olympic star, real name Rachael Gunn, went viral with her routine at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Serious allegations in petition revealed.
This petition, alleging without evidence that Raygun manipulated the selection process, demands a public apology.
It also accuses Paris Chef de Mission Anna Meares of misleading the Australian public and undermining genuine athletes.
AOC defends Raygun and Meares.
The Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) has fiercely defended Raygun and Meares.
AOC boss Matt Caroll called the petition “appalling” and dismissed the claims as false and defamatory.
“It amounts to bullying and harassment,” Carroll stated.
He added that the AOC is demanding the immediate removal of the petition.
During the women’s breaking competition, Raygun scored zero in her bout.
This disappointing result was widely circulated on social media, adding fuel to the fire.
While she dazzled many with her moves, she also attracted a storm of online backlash.
Emotional instagram video released.
In an emotional Instagram video, Raygun revealed her devastation over the hate she’s received.
The video, nearly two and a half minutes long, has caught the attention of fans and critics alike.
Raygun thanks supporters in heartfelt message.
“I wanted to start by thanking all the people who supported me,” Raygun said, her voice heavy with emotion.
“I really appreciate the positivity and was glad I was able to bring some joy into your lives.”
But the joy was quickly overshadowed by a wave of negative comments and mockery.
Raygun admitted, “I didn’t realize that bringing joy would also open the door to so much hate.”
Her routine, which aimed to showcase the elegance of breakdancing, instead became a hotbed of online scorn.
Breakdancer’s dedication highlighted.

The 36-year-old breakdancer was proud to be part of the Australian Olympic team and to represent her sport’s debut.

“Please respect their privacy,” she pleaded.
