Dancer Moves “Raygun” was made fun of for her performance
Australian b-girl Rachael Gunn received backlash and derision for her performance at the Paris Games, and breaking made her Olympic debut.
“Raygun,” as Gunn was often known, defended her dancing style. The 36-year-old attempted to impress the crowd with a “kangaroo dance,” among other moves, but she received 0 marks. However, Gunn stated to ESPN that she is unafraid of the performance.
Regarding the competitors in her category, Gunn remarked, “I was never going to beat these girls on what they do best: their power moves.” “What I bring is creativity.”
Gunn claimed that every motion she made was unique and that she was attempting to be as imaginative as she could.
“I find creativity to be quite vital. It speaks to the judges at times, while at other times it doesn’t. That’s the main point,” Gunn continued.
It’s not Olympic tradition to break oneself. DJs played music, and performers were graded according to the different combinations of dance moves they made.
Martin Gilian, the chief judge of the breaking competition, supported Gunn as well.
“Raygun was acting just in this manner. She was inspired by the things around her, like in this instance, a kangaroo.”
In response to the criticism, the dissolving federation stated that it provided Gunn with mental health care.
At the Olympic closing ceremony, who was the performer? Red Hot Chili Peppers, Billie Eilish, Snoop, and Dr. Dre
After two and a half incredible weeks filled with Olympic sports and emotion, Paris celebrated with a star-studded show from Long Beach, Southern California, and France’s national stadium. The next in line, Los Angeles in 2028, will host the Summer Games instead of the French capital.
Red Hot, Snoop, Dr. Dre, and Billie Eilish!
Snoop Dogg maintained his momentum in a pre-recorded performance from his home state of California. Snoop Dogg has brought his star appeal to the Olympics in Paris with several appearances on NBC. The rapper introduced Dr. Dre as they rapped their iconic song “The Next Episode” in Long Beach, California, following his performance of “Drop It Like Its Hot.”
The song “Birds of a Feather” from Billie Eilish’s third studio album, “Hit Me Hard and Soft,” was performed. The 2003 hit song “Can’t Stop” was sung by Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Tom Cruise arrives in style.
Tom Cruise performed a similar stunt to his many “Mission: Impossible” appearances, jumping from the top of Stade de France as H.E.R. was playing her guitar. H.E.R. was playing her guitar, and he was riding a motorcycle through the crowd. He flew around Paris in a prepared sequence before jumping out of a plane in a rural area.

H.E.R. performed the American national anthem while Los Angeles mayor Karen Bass and actress Simone Biles stood behind her, guitar in hand. She performed during the Paris handover to Los Angeles on her specially constructed Stratocaster.
Remarkable Olympic judge highlights Raygun’s “originality”
Rachael Gunn of Team Australia has gained support from the head judge of the Olympic breaking competition after her unconventional routine in Paris caused controversy online.
Competing under the alias Raygun, Gunn was disqualified from the B-Girls competition with a score of zero, drawing compliments and jeers for her distinct look.
Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull remarked in support of the athlete.
The Olympic schedule for the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles does not include Breaking, which had its debut at the Paris Games.
Gunn, a 36-year-old Sydney university lecturer by day, distinguished herself from her rivals—many of whom are in their early 20s—in practically every aspect.
Her performances throughout her three rounds on Friday immediately went viral online, inspiring a plethora of memes and video parodies where fans questioned everything from her attire to her eligibility.
Raygun’s score, according to Mr. Gilian, whose stage name is MGbility, is representative of the “competitive judging system” used by the sport and should not be interpreted as evidence that “she did really bad.”
In addition to justifying Gunn’s entry into the competition with reference to her triumph in the Oceania qualification, Mr. Gilian commended her inventive choreography, which featured the sprinkler and, perhaps her most contentious performance, hopping around akin to a kangaroo.
With a background in jazz, tap, and ballroom dancing, Gunn has explained her performance using terminology akin to this.
