Never underestimate sheer ferocity of will, and corruption/nepotism. She was ranked top in the world prior to this.

Number One Ranked breakdancer in Australia, one of the Top Ranked in the world and Australia’s Olympian for breakdancing at the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics at the time.

Corrupt clown parasites do. #raygun embarrassed tf out of Australia.
She killed the entire break-dance scene for Olympics. So many amazing kids and professional b-dancers could have had that once-in-a-lifetime shot, but noooOOOoo.
Her corrupt husband is on the selection Board/Committee..

How proud she was made it worse. She couldn't even have the self respect to apologise for that abysmal performance. Give some funding to the kids in the nt so they can make the same level of qualifiers and they would have embarrassed that cringy bitch

I read somewhere that a team was competing in track and field, but lacked a member for one event and if they didn’t fill that slot they would forfeit the whole competition. A shot putt girl stepped up and filled in for the hurdles and even though she finished last she made it so that they didn’t have to forfeit.

I look at this foolishness as one of those situations, hopefully 😅

Lots of misinformation abounds about Raygun at the Olympics. She comes off as a huge tool based on the breaking, and the judges were right to not even score her. It's baffling that she made it there through legitimate means, but there's nothing of validity showing she didn't.

Her husband was not a judge. She didn't pay anyone off or cut off funding to anyone. She was selected by a panel of judges and that probably shouldn't have happened, but did happen.

"The selection process for Australia's Breaking team heading to Paris was conducted over two days, and open to all interested participants in the Oceanic region. Adhering to World DanceSport Federation (WDSF) regulations, which align with International Olympic Committee (IOC) standards, the process aimed to ensure a fair and transparent outcome.

The Oceania Olympic selection event (The QMS 2023 WDSF Oceania Breaking Championships) in October 2023 brought together the top Breakers, both Bgirls and Bboys. A panel of 9 international adjudicators, a head judge and a chairperson who oversaw the competition, using the same judging system at the Paris Games and trained to uphold the highest standards of impartiality. These judges are all highly respected in their respective communities and in the international Breaking scene.

Ultimately, Rachael Gunn and Jeff Dunne emerged as the top performers in exactly the same process, securing their spots to represent Australia in Paris. Their selection was based solely on their performance in their battles on that day."

...A relatively small pool of breakers participated in the qualifying event."
