A whole lot of weak people never told her the truth.
A Magikarp has a better dance move called splash then Raygun
perhaps, we should all have this type of confidence
that first move she did seems to be her favourite go-to, posing on the floor with her gut out after doing nothing impressive but thinking she did 😛
Sister, you were horrible. No way about it. Your best is the worst. Don't do it anymore.
…She's terrible.
Those sudden stops and jerking movements is in line with shaolin martial arts.. Nothing at all resembling to break dance. Perhaps revisit old 80's videos, otherwise don't ruin the art.
It’s always “hate” when they don’t get their way.
Thank the Gods they are taking Break Dancing from the next Olympics. Who in their right mind thought Break Dancing was a sport? 😂
And to add insult to injury, it replaced Karate and Baseball. Lol
She probably took the spot of someone who is good at break dancing, horrible person
It was embarrassing to watch.
Obviously, she thinks she's good. The real blame goes to the people who selected her, and sent her to the Olympics. They have caused Australia an extreme amount of international embarrassment.
Why did they remove the footage of the performance? I can’t find it anywhere!
She gets credit foe a good repeate of ELAINE on Stienfeld.
Terrible and embarrassing
It’s been bad enough as a long term lover of all sports and professional sportspeople who excel at the highest level of the Olympics to watch this whole sad sorry episode play out. As an Australian it’s been depressing but utterly unsurprising watching the “she’s having a crack” crap to defend what she did. We have lost any ability to call crap out anymore in the public arena. I just wished she had not broken her silence because she’s just double downed on everything……
The whole process was blunder
She is a Karen
The one person who was more delusional than anyone in the world….she was thinking outside the box and outside the rules…via not attempting to score a point and single-handedly ended break dancing for future Olympics
She has the classic passive aggressive behavior
There ISN’T hate. She is now the Face of the 2024 Paris Olympics!!! Can ANYONE name who came in Gold, Silver or Bronze? I can’!! Much love and respect for you RayGun!! More people talk about you than even billionaire LeBron James!!
Raygun's dancing was probably the worst I have ever seen. I think the Australian Raygun was a joke in the Olympics.😅
0:26 Raygun wiped the floor of the Olympics so clean that she even fell asleep on stage.
Obviously Raygun's understanding of dance is different from the public's understanding of dance! America launched Michael Jackson, a global superstar, while Australia launched Raygun, a global laughing stock. Hahahaha😅😅😅
Oh my. People can be mean.
She didn’t break silence! So talked about it. Damn you news are lame….
I didn't know she was trans. Good for her!
So can other athletes go to the Olympic because they have a PHD in gymnastics, swimming, fencing, etc? Did she beak out all other female athletes to get her spot? Were other athletes given a chance to try out? The selection process seems to be a big secret…..
Terrible their was ZERO talent in what she did. Ppl we all thought it was a fake joke.
To be honest, it is hard to tell the difference between Raygun and the breakdancers who won medals.
She was as good as the other competitors.
RACHAEL GUNN: "I didn't realise that would open the door to so much hate"
She got it totally wrong here. This is NOT hate. This is just the honest comment about your performance from the audience.
People are just saying you are not good enough to go to the Olympic. All types of performance eventually get comments from audience so… stop playing the victim here.
Bunny hop!!!
I hope Krunking is considered for the next Olympics. That would be a spectacle.
Not only did she break the olympics she has called into question the awarding of PhD to all humanities majors.
Ray gun danced like an out of touch 50 year old white guy at his best friends 19 year old daughters wedding pretty much looked like trudeau dancing
My lazy ex wife used to sit on the couch 🛋️ for about a decade and use the channel changer to constantly watch the kardashian’s. After she was encouraged to leave for the streets, she lost her arm in an accident. I’m convinced that if she was to break dance now after never doing anything other than using her good arm for prepping sausage, could do a better job at breakdancing than this Australian
She was an embarrassment
Its not hate , college professor w/ phd cultureal studies has no right to be leading the country in breakdance " shes a balroom.dancer and a teacher not a breakdancer , the 16 year old did way better , she used her friends in high places to get her spot she was never known for breakdancing…. why was she there vs any real breakdancer… makes no sense ofcourse there was uproar…
She is lying ..
& this is the modern day world we’re people cry , insult , bully & even commit acts of violence over something as senseless as the Olympics . Exactly why I never liked sports the way people act is truly pathetic
What does most sports consist of chasing a ball around Yahoo what a snooze fest 🤣 . Fighting is exciting flying high performance aircraft at Mach 2 is exciting ! Arguing over a breakdance performance is seriously lame 🤣
Disrespect to the sport
She rigged the qualifiers with her husband. The coach
Australia you're the laughing stock of the world 😂😂😂
At least she dances better than the hawk tia girl
Tf is wrong with people… did she hurt anyone?.. why the hate….
😂😂😂😂😂 this girl not good 👎👎👎👎
I LOVE RAYGUN! If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have watched any of the olympics.
