Australian B-Girl Rachael Gunn, known as Raygun, became a standout figure at the 2024 Olympics, where breaking made its debut as an Olympic sport. However, fans won’t see her on stage again.

Details: Raygun became a viral sensation, with her highly unconventional style inspiring numerous memes. She lost all her battles 0-18, sparking debate about whether breaking should have been included in the Olympic program.

Unfortunately, Raygun struggled to handle the intense scrutiny that followed her Olympic performance.

"I just couldn’t control how people perceived me and who I am. I might have planned to keep competing, but now it’s really hard for me to do that."

In a rather dubious ranking, Raygun was still listed as the world’s number one, despite her Olympic performance.

Reminder: Controversial Olympic champion Iman Khélif recently appeared in a campaign video for Donald Trump.
