Raygun Break dancing at the Paris Olympics
In case you haven’t seen Raygun’s viral Olympic performance, here’s a video!
The Paris 2024 Olympics were truly a spectacle, with 17 world records broken. The Paris 2024 Olympics also featured a breakdancing competition, professionally known as breaking. This was the first and last time that there would be a breaking competition in the Olympics. The next Olympics will be held in Los Angeles 2028, and as of right now, breaking is not part of the lineup of competitions. This recent change is probably due to the performance given by Rachael Gunn. Rachael’s Gunn performance shocked the judges and fans, and not in a good way. While it may have been a funny moment, many countries were outraged by her performance and questioned the reason she was allowed to perform. With all of the media backlash, Raygun reached out and made a statement saying that she truly did her best, but many people still find her performance Despite all of this, her performance will definitely be remembered, and there will be hundreds of memes along with it.
