🇦🇺🇫🇷AUSTRALIA'S OLYMPIC CONTENDER HAS PhD IN BREAKDANCE … LITERALLY

Rachael Gunn, who goes by “RayGun,” has become an instant internet meme after her Olympic breakdancing performance went viral for all the wrong reasons.
Representing Australia, Gunn holds a PhD in dance culture and earned her spot in the Olympics by winning the QMS Oceania Championship.
Breakdancing made its cringe-worthy Olympic debut at the Paris 2024 Games, and as a new addition to the roster, expectations were high. Hip-hop icon Snoop Dogg even introduced the event, fueling the hype.
However, Gunn’s performance fell embarrassingly short of the other competition as well as the expectations of viewers. The dancer’s routine consisted mostly of her awkwardly contorting herself while flailing around the stage in a seizure-like manner.
In one clip, Rachael Gunn appears to tribute a dance move to her home country by showing off her ‘kangaroo hop’. She should have left this one ‘outback.’
