The Paris Olympics were packed with unforgettable moments: athletes winning, celebrating, proposing, fighting, and even shedding tears. But one moment truly stole the spotlight¡ªB-girl Raygun owning the stage with her 'incredible' breakdancing skills for which the 37-year-old faced a wave of brutal trolling online. But now, there's a jaw-dropping new development that has left people wondering, "How on earth did this happen?!"
B-girl Raygun gave a lackluster performance at the Paris Olympics where she finished second to last¡ªjust ahead of a disqualified competitor¡ªafter receiving zero points in her three round-robin battles.?
But in a shocking turn of events, the World DanceSport Federation's latest rankings have put her at the very top of the list.?
Yes, you read that correctly¡ªB-girl Raygun is now officially the world's top-ranked women's breakdancer.
We're just as stunned as you are.
Raygun's rise to the number one spot came thanks to the 1,000 points she earned from winning the WDSF Oceania Championship, which also secured her Olympic spot.?
Meanwhile, the three women who took home medals in Paris didn't even make the ranking list, as no points were awarded for the Olympics.
One person on X summed it up best: "In all fairness, she¡¯s probably the most famous breakdancer in the world."
And honestly, we can't argue with that!
B-girl Raygun, aka 37-year-old Rachel Gunn is a university lecturer with a PhD in Cultural Studies who represented Australia at the 2024 Paris Olympics in Breaking, or Breakdancing.
Her passion for breakdancing runs deep¡ªso much so that she even wrote her PhD thesis on the subject, titled 'Deterritorializing Gender in Sydney's Breakdancing Scene: A B-girl¡¯s Experience of B-boying.'
Let's rewind and take a fun spin down memory lane with her performance:
