Australian breakdancer, Raygun, is retiring

Australian breakdancer Rachel "Raygun" Gunn is hanging up her sneakers.

The 37-year-old's routine went viral during the 2024 Summer Olympic Games in Paris and she was mercilessly mocked. She competed in three battles and was shut out 18-0.

In a recent interview on Australian radio's Jimmy & Nath Show, on 2Day FM, she revealed she doesn't want to endure the criticism that could possibly come with future performances.

“I’m not going to compete anymore, no,” she revealed to the Sydney station.

“It’s just not going to mean the same thing,” she said. “It’s not going to be the same experience because of everything that’s at stake.”

Gunn said she'll continue to breakdance but in the privacy of her own home.

“That seems a really difficult thing for me to do now, to approach a battle,” she said. “I mean, I still dance and I still break, but that’s, like, in my living room with my partner.”

Breakdancing has been removed from the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
