Viral Olympics sensation Raygun has risen up the rankings to bizarrely become the number one female breakdancer in the world.
The Australian, whose real name is Rachael Gunn, rose to stardom for her routine at this summer's games in Paris.
Having been heavily criticised, the 36-year-old earned zero points and was lambasted for her choice of clothing too.
But in a strange turns of events, the World DanceSport Federation has handed Raygun top spot in their latest rankings.

Named the world's best 'b-girl' in the September rankings, Oympic medallists Ami 'Ami' Yuasa, Dominika 'Nicka' Banevic and Liu '671' Qingyi have all not been included.
The WDSF have since released a statement to explain how the rankings work, stating how points are based on an athlete's top four performances within the past year, with Olympic showings not counting towards the rankings.
"We would like to take this opportunity to provide clarity on the ranking methodology and address the concerns raised," the WDSF statement began.
"Furthermore, in alignment with the Olympic Qualification System, ranking events were intentionally not held between 31 December 2023 and the Olympic Games Paris 2024.
"This strategic scheduling allowed athletes to focus solely on the last part of their Olympic qualification without the added pressure of additional ranking events.
"Consequently, by the end of the Olympic Games, many of the competition results included in the ranking had expired, leading to the current situation where many athletes have only one competition result contributing to their ranking.
"Due the unique circumstances regarding ranking events this year, it is not unusual in the period immediately following the Olympic Games for some athletes to be ranked according to a single event."
But with further context provided, it now appears as if Raygun's spell at the top will only be somewhat short lived.
"The WDSF remains steadfast in its commitment to transparency and fairness in the competitive ranking process,' the governing body said.
"We trust that this explanation resolves any concerns regarding the methodology behind the current standings."
Raygun has since returned to Australia and has been linked to a whole host of reality television shows in her home county.
