Australian breaker Rachael ‘Raygun’ Gunn says she has watched her Paris 2024 Olympic routine in full for the first time and concluded it was “not as bad” as she had expected. Her performance became a global viral moment after she failed to score in any of her three round-robin battles, prompting widespread mockery and debate about breaking’s Olympic inclusion.

Gunn, 38, said online criticism differed sharply from the response she receives in person and argued that appearing online could be viewed as evidence of doing something distinctive. She was ranked world number one by the World DanceSport Federation in September 2024, retired from competition that November, and will feature in Netflix documentary Untold Raygun: Breaking Badly, which is expected to address false claims that she cheated her way into Olympic selection.
