Australian breakdancer Rachael Gunn, also known as B-Girl Raygun, has garnered significant attention online after her distinctive performance at the Paris Olympics.

Gunn, who hails from Hornsby in New South Wales, was seen in videos shared online hopping like a kangaroo, touching her toes while lying down, and moving in a unique style on the dance floor. These moves quickly went viral, making Gunn the subject of numerous memes across social media platforms.  Raygun, 36-year-old lecturer, known more for her expertise in “Cultural politics of breakdancing” than for actual breakdancing, managed to showcase a routine that resembled a toddler’s but with a PhD. Gunn, a former jazz and ballroom dancer, was introduced to breakdancing by her husband, who had been practicing the discipline for a decade. Although she grew up dancing, Gunn only began competing in breakdancing competitions in her mid-twenties. “I wasn’t a sporty kid, I was more of a dance kid,” Gunn shared. “I never thought the Olympics would be on the cards for me.
