Raygun hits out at breakdancing being dropped from Olympics after she goes viral for scoring zero

Olympic breakdancer Raygun has responded following news her sport will be axed at the Los Angeles 2028 Games.

Raygun - real name Rachael Gunn - represented Australia in Paris and quickly went viral for her routine.

She earned 0 points in total and despite her online criticism, she believes it is wrong for 'breaking' to be cut entirely.

"It was disappointing it was decided that it wouldn’t be in LA, particularly before we even had a chance to show it," Gunn said earlier this month.

"That was possibly a little premature. I wonder if they’re kicking themselves now?"

She continued: "What is an Olympic sport? What are the similarities between dressage and artistic swimming and the 100m sprint and the pentathlon?

"Breaking is clearly athletic, it clearly requires a whole level of dedication across a number of different aspects. It’s really bringing a new level of excitement."

Gunn competed in three of the women's breaking battles in Paris, scoring zero points in each of her outings.

Seen slithering around on the floor, her dancing was quickly poked fun of online.

It is clear that the 36-year-old is unfazed by the hate she has received and admitted she will continue to do what she loves.

"All my moves are original," added Raygun. "Creativity is really important to me.

"I go out there and I show my artistry. Sometimes it speaks to the judges, and sometimes it doesn’t.

"I do my thing, and it represents art. That is what it is about."

Breaking judge MGbility - real name Martin Gilian - responded to the decision to award Gunn zero points, explaining that her competitors were more polished in their routines.

"The breaking and hip hop community definitely stands behind her. She was just trying to bring something new, something original and something that represents her country," MGbility said.

"We stay with her. We have five criteria in the comparative judging system. Just her level was maybe not as high as the other competitors.

"Again, we're using a comparative judging system. Her competitors were just better but it doesn't mean that she did really bad. She did her best."
