Retiring? From being a liar and a fake. She stole an Olympic chance from so many REAL Breakdancers. She's disgusting and a fraud.
Thank god! I’m believing in miracles lately…..next men out of woman’s sports!
Thats a Good thing. Im sorry but she's Awful 💯. Keep it a hobby and Not professional.
She actually seems like a really sweet positive person. I think most of the blame should be placed on the Olympic qualifying judges, not Raygun.
If she retires the breakdance community is done
womp womp
She definitely wasn’t trying 😂😂😂
"Breaking" news.
She is 37. Good God. Give me a break. She did great. Most can't even get onto the floor and stand back up at 37.
She’s a
National Treasure
❤🎉🏆🎼🥁💃
As an intermediate archer who competes I wouldn't even dare to give up like this lady. Just do what you love, no matter what.
This is your perspective of working your "but off", you do HAVE TO consider what hard is for you, might be considered not enough for us.
And this actually shows how hard doing sport is also mentally.
Good! Go sit yo azz down somewhere!
Someone who cared about her should have told her what she was doing wasn't Olympic material and about the real possibility of a negative reception. Her performance wasn't professional by any stretch and the people she trusted around her didn't help at all, in-turn, her feelings were hurt on a world stage. Honesty is still the best policy as cliché as that sounds.
It’s honestly surprising to see how openly Raygun was bullied. Its so weird how it was so normalized by the so-called "woke culture" geeeez
She's ridiculous. How do you retire from something she never did.
It looks like she watched 3 YouTube videos about break dancing then said “you know what…….i think I’m the best in the world to ever do this” 😂
Good riddance…. Please don’t breakdance anymore 😅
She's cute
She's going back to private practice … what a break ! 😂
She should never have started !!!!! again sincerely apologise to the rest of the world from Australia
Ray Gun did for breakdancing what Steven Hawking did for the Mens 100 metre race.
How on earth did she qualify in the first place?
Yo, that just tells you the whole story right there she was never that serious about breakdancing. These are the moments that humble you and bring you down to earth if you really cared about your sport you would’ve gone back up and tried to prove people wrong. But instead, she quits and she’s not even 40. I hope she quits teaching dance too. Someone else even if they lost they would’ve still thought of this as one of the most amazing moments of their life and would’ve still kept dancing.
Oh thank God! She probably now realized how bad her performance was. Did someone in her circle finally tell her or did she figure that out on her own?
It's not really hate but people were dumbfounded over that she was the best you found to represent Australia.
Good..
Ray Gun did a huge disservice to the sport. Its because of her nonsense performance it was removed from the 2028 games. Way to go ruining it for everyone else.
She embarrassed not just herself but whole Australia because they let her to compete. Why they are taking her in tv to get more attention? Olympic Games is not a place to troll and people who try that should not be given any extra media time.
No, there are no wild cobra populations in Australia.
I think people are over reacting to her performance. I found all the jokes at her expense a little funny. As soon as I learned she was 37 I came to believe it is all a bit overdone. The public cannot expect a 37 year old female to be spinning around on her head seven times. People need to get real. This is a small sport with only a few who can do the super athletic break dance moves reliably.
She’s the best!
