She doesn’t deserve privacy after publicly displaying humiliation to all real break dances
it's going to take a long time for Australia to live down this embarassing moment
This is what I would call voluntary public humiliation. You drink and drive, you pay. Same here.
I was a pro dancer and I know many people in the break dancing industry in my home country of Australia. I could name at least 20 or more people who deserve to have been considered and honestly after seeing this embarrassing performance. I can only call out corruption and utter lies to the public about selection.
I understand the judges. It's not about originality. She dance like a pre schooler with tantrum. It's like a beginner vs professional dancer. If I were one of the judge I would give her negative points 😂
She was a judge on red bull bc 1 it's all in an interview.
Dr Rachel ? Of hip hop thats what astounds me
needs to be banned for life from break dancing competition
Support young people, or and people with talent.
if there's a guy at the park who shoots underhand baskets and misses all of them, no one would care. but if that guy is playing for the Lakers, there will be questions.
She deserves heavy sanction for this and for damaging the image of her country.
most probably Break dance will be deleted from Olympics after such a disgraceful event.
How did a professional dancer manage to not score a single point in break dancing? Clearly she didnt understand her assignment or even what a cohesive break dance routine looks like. Maybe the acrobatic skill requirements just werent there. This isnt hate. Just keeping it real. Its up to Australia whether there was corruption involved, but to say Australians cant question how someone got where they are (especially when the rest of the World is laughing) when they dont score a single point at the event is just plain wrong. She and her family shouldnt be trolled on the street, but if the harassment is simply asking the question then its not harassment at all. Snowflakes dont do well in 'street' events. Maybe she just needs coaches and trainers that dont tell her she looks good when she doesnt.
The fact that she has no remorse that breaking got removed from the next Olympics and is only focusing on her criticism says alot
Breaking got removed from the next Olympics? Really? Why is that?
@@arbaz79 naw, actually it just wasn't chosen to be at the Los Angeles Olympics. I guess she had nothing to do with it, but to be honest, she def gave breaking a bad look
I can understand that creativity is a part of the judging process, but the woman cannot dance. Nor does she possess the required athleticism required to participate at the Olympic level. People are not hunting her down but rather calling her out and those that supported her spot at the Olympics.
THE LADY gone cuckoo, needs to go to a mental institution
Her husband selected her, he is also her coach, both went to Paris on a taxpayer-funded 'holiday'. They made a mockery of the 'sport', put shame on Australia. Corruption of the highest and blatant level!!!
He had no part in the selection process. He however encouraged his mediocre to compete way out of his league. He should have known better as a supposed coach.
@@QUINTUSMAXIMUSAs if he didn't pull a few strings. It ain't what you know, its who you know.
Here's the thing. Let's give her the benefit of the doubt and assume there was no corruption or rigging involved, that Raygun was serious about what she was doing. Her aim was never to mock breaking, and that she genuinely worked hard to get to the Olympics. Based on her "performance" was there nobody else? Was that the best Australia had to offer? Everybody from the judges to the average casual observer could see how lame her act was. And if she did what she did in order to make some kind of "statement", should she really be surprised at the public outcry and backlash?
Her and her husband held tryouts and kept it very quiet so no one else would try..
my hard-earned tax paid for this.
If we looked back at the previous competitions where she was in, Holly Molly was the usual in finals against her and much better competitor. Yet HM was given the loss each time. Seriously said, Australia does not really have much of talent and much of skills in breaking for the B-girls. As for Raygun's coach, .... who in the world allowed him to perform dances? The very impression of him already questions a lot on his 'expertise' to teach another on breakin'. Reminds me of Spike Jonze's dance for Fatboy Slim's "Praise You".
Why make another fine form of energetic dance into mockery? Is it because you call it stupid just because you can't dance as good? Then you make that stupidity trend that it kills the original form. It is a SICK joke and that needs stopped!
@@Bls-of1ld That has already been proven to be 100% false.
@@thesammyjenkinsexperience4996 by who?
I mean, if the breakdancing scene from the 1983 movie "Flashdance" is way better than your 2024 Olympic performance, then shouldn't you find a new line of work?
Yeah like Hobby Horse riding
I GOT AN IDEA . Why all Break dancers in Australia that felt bad to not be selected for this important honor make a video of their own skills in RUclips calling it : 'Break the Injustuce"
How does she deserve any privacy when she took advantage of Australian taxpayers to fund a Europe holiday AND deprive other genuinely good aussie women breakdancers of a once in a lifetime opportunity
Speaking from a country that set the bar so low and failed to win a single gold medal. Raygun is terrible at breaking, full stop.
Something is wrong here you clearly have no talent for breakdancing and the girl you beat did so how did you win the spot
That’s the rub. Her ending up there is fishy. Her performance confirms it. Someone claims that rigged it. She in fact does have those connections and in fact, excluded competent dancers
@@andycampbell8622 Those aren't facts.
The controversy arose afterward when the Australian Olympic spokeswoman decided to give everyone a lecture about patriarchy in the Australian Olympic teams history, and basically called anybody who criticized Gunn a Hater. Gunn and now Perkins have weighed in, and the Australian public have not taken kindly to being told that they did not see what they saw, and to say otherwise makes you an online troll or a hater. It all could have been managed so much better. Yet Gunn has even said herself she knew she could not win, but hoped her interpretive experiment would garner her some points leading to questions as to why she was even there in the first place. Personally, breakdance has no place in Olympic competition, and only the best who was in with a chance should have competed. It is pretty obvious even to people like myself who know nothing about Breakdance, that Gunn was not in the same league as other competitors.
This video highlights EXACTLY why Breakdancing is NOT a competitive sport.
Let's just assume for the moment that there's no corruption involved with her being sent to the Olympics. Raygun is an objectively terrible breakdancer, and has no skill nor understanding of the sport. To let someone like that through with no corruption involved would indicate massive incompetence of the Olympic qualification judging, and/or incompetence of the Australian Olympic Committee.
I'm happy that I didn't watch 1 seconds of the olypmics. What a clown show.
Somebody needs to sue that woman. Claiming criticism is 'hate' is slander.
If all this is true then is this all you got to offer for female breaker Australia? Youve got to step up your game because all 9 international professional judges agreed to give 0. If you think its ok to get 0 then why you bother to send our breaker in the first place? Wake up and be responsible for the 0 score man. Dont let this be a benchmark of Aussies to some Asian country official thats hard to apologise. Remember if shes preparared then she wont be doing the comedic dance wearing your official shirt. People are not just laughing at her, people also laugh at the shirt she is wearing. If you dont find that offensive then I dont know what will 😂😂
So she's the victim? She did not provide us joy, she provided us humor and laughter. She has zero break dancing skill and no one ever told her? This is the Olympics, not an open audition. Sounds like the Olympics was a tax payer vacation for her
Husband was a judge on oz was it ?
I also did extensive research on her. The breaking people said that her qualification for the Olympics was fair. In the competitions in Paris, she had no chance against the best of the sport, so she tried to do very different moves and it didn't work. That's what happened, but part of the world was very intolerant and started to judge and condemn her for everything she did.
well she did humiliate all of Australia. And no, the qualification was not fair. That is a fact! there are many many kids here, especially in the outback and aboriginal community who live and breathe b-dance. she used her privilege to get in, and yes, a dose of corruption too. But nice try to make it look like it was all fair.
@@squidjames7735
Im Australian and I'm not humiliated.
I thought it was hilarious!
The real joke is having breakdancing (a short lived 1980's fad) at the Olympics.
@@cfdseffcghvvffdssssedfcc2211 That's cause, you can't dance like them. Admit that.
No, that didn't happen. Accredited judges participated in the selection. Some competitors ended up not participating because they didn't have passports. At world championships, Raygun was always the best ranked Australian. Under pressure, talented Australian skateboarder Chloe Covell also didn't make it to the Olympics and got no points in the acrobatic maneuvers stage, scoring zero in all of them. It's all part of the game whether or not you're having a good or bad day.
@@marioht1352 That's utter bull. You didn't see the competitions beforehand before she was selected for the AOC. Raygun did nothing and practically did quite the same as she did in this Olympics whereas when you see her finals competition, Holly Molly was much better with moves Raygun couldn't even accomplish. Yet Raygun made it through all of it without hassle. It's a setup from the beginning... although all of those Australian B-girls there really don't have much to be said about for the skills.
Why was the petition taken down is a better question. The proper answer to this, if false, is not censorship but just show the other people that were also candidates. The australians should have videos of that.
because she is protected and privileged
It was taken down because the allegations within it were false and defamatory, contravening change orgs community guidelines.
Because Australia is hosting the games in 2032. It's a billion dollar industry and the Australian AOC I'd protecting themselves from even more scrutiny at all costs. They even influence the media. It will just be major news outlets defending her, defending the qualifications, the processes, fact checkers all of it. Because of Brisbane 2032.
if she understands breaking then she wouldn't have destroyed it.
If she has no mental issue, it doesn't make sense to me
How is it possible for not even one judge to give her one point across 5 criteria? Is Raygun really the best of the best in Australian break dancing? I think it's legitimate to question how Australia sent a competitor who couldn't earn a single point. Trolling is not acceptable but questioning criteria and standards is legitimate.
That isn't how the scoring works. It isn't like figuring skating where a perfect routine is a 10.0 and a pretty good routine gets you an 8.5. The judges each get a vote for who wins. You either get the vote or you get zero, from that judge. Let's take Raygun out of it. If two breakers both had really good performances but one was clearly better and the judges all voted that way, the loser would have "zero points/votes", even if the loser's routine was a solid B+ vs the winner's A+. As bad as she was, her score was not the same as a figure skater going out on the ice and immediately falling and never getting up and winding up with zero points.
She makes breakdancing look bad after going though she knew she was a top dancer and admitted. She said she didn't stand a chance. You had to go all the way there, before knowing that. Something's wrong. She dares to use the breaking community to shield herself? Sure, the petition had wrong information, but how did a mediocre end up there?
Ray gun 🤡
Molly was wayyyyyyyyyyy better than Raygun and i doubt Molly is even the best Australia has to offer in terms of women's breakdancing. Raygun winning any qualifier that Molly is also a part of, that in itself is suspicious because she runs laps around Raygun all day.
She had no business being there, SHE EMBARRASSED THAT WHOLE COUNTRY
Her and her mate should be jailed for ruining the debute for every other qualifying braak dancers at the Olympics. They are truly disgusting.
She dances like Elaine from the show Seinfeld
they should do corporate and period investigation.
Who gave her that degree.. 😂 😂 😂 😂
RAYGUNN needs to spend in jail for the rest of her years in solitary CONFINEMENT
Scored zero 😂
What can I say ? Aussies are good in most sports but terrible at dancing .
Question is how did she win those championship before, with these moves.? Why people are endorsing lack of talent with 'creativity' and doctorate degree. Its shamefull.
I’ve heard this called “Princess Syndrome” and it’s a good title for it from what I see. We see it with many Swifties as well… people that can only see themselves as a “hero” or a “victim”. She truly believes that she is “good” because she decided to change the standard to be what she wants it to be, instead of adhering to the existing standard… and then if you don’t like it, “you must be a misogynist!”
This mentality is scary and it comes from having opportunity and privilege, but with no accountability or expectations. We can’t sit a tell young girls that they can “do or be anything they want” but at the same time, have no expectations for how they then participate.
She has subsided in delusion, and only surrounds herself with those whom will validate her delusions … and then they all protect her from ever having to face reality. It’s pretty scary!!! Especially when people like this gain a place of “power”, and then gatekeep opportunity with their own delusions…
I checked the Olympic website as she invited us to do.
The Olympic website shows that she won 7 of the 270 criterion. So with 100% being the best score, she scored 2.6%.
Not exactly ‘zero’. Very close to it though. And by far, the worst score of anyone in the Olympics.
Her husband was not a judge in the qualifier, yet he didn’t need to be, to have undue influence.
Apparently there were some b girls in Perth fundraising to fly over to the ONLY qualifier event in Sydney.
When they heard the team was stacked so that she could make the final, they pulled out.
Really sad.
This was Australia doing black face.
Systemic racism, white privilege, nepotism and corruption. And now, white fragility. 🤦♀️
Apparently that Perth B girls pulled out because they wouldn’t have passed the drugs test, (I guess the ream was stacked is a farfetch in this case) may be an additional lesson to the public ‘Say no to drugs’ to go with other popular slogans.
@@AV41979
How do you know what drugs they did?
Raygun’s performance is a good enough advertisement to not do drugs.
lol... "Apparently..." Riiiiiiiight, so they fundraised the money to fly over to Sydney and compete but then decided to pocket the money and not go. Who are the real scammers again?
@@poerava Apparently they were doing all sorts of drugs, bro. Apparently.
@@thesammyjenkinsexperience4996
The planned an event to fundraiser.
Yet didn’t put on the event.
Bro.
Anyhow this is not an Olympic sport in any way shape or form, how do you think classical sports athletes feel about breaking and skateboarding :) It's not serious.
the judges that scored her zero are defending her. who's paying them.
Dr. Grande accepted the challenge that Rachel Gunn gave to the world: Here is his analysis of her dubious "percentage score" defense.
In calling her bluff, Raygun now looks even worse.
Observe:
ruclips.net/video/ILPB0YDhDz4/видео.htmlsi=rVQToBtenQBHHbU2&t=6m7s
In the 2023 World Championship, Rachel Gunn placed 64th out 80 competitors...the Bottom 20% is certainly not "world class" for the following year's Olympics where only 17 slots were available for the Women's competition.
Her Oceania tournament excluded younger contestants due to a requirement that expensive Passports had to be presented. Also, the announcement of the Oceania tournament was made just a few days prior, making it difficult for many to attend (there were only 15 women in that tournament compared to over 30 for the men)
Viewing the video here will show that the Olympic Judges considered her performance to be dismal.
She is not entitled to sympathy. Her PhD should have made her even more aware that she lacked sufficient ability to champion this athletic event at the ultimate world stage.
She can gain her privacy back after she comes out and makes an apology for making a mockery out of a sport that she claims to have a PhD in and ruined the opportunity for other people who actually breakdance her and her husband perform like the Three Stooges choreographed their routine. They clearly did not know the assignment.
INSTEAD OF UPLIFTING THIS SPORT , she butchered it into complete non sense
That Kangaroo move trying to take off was the best trick I've ever seen in breaking though 😂😂😂
Australia won 18 gold medals but her saga made it forget. How can a country of professionals endorsed such utter stupidity?😂😂
The truth is that NO ONE SAID NO TO A WOMAN in a sport that mostly are men because they are afraid of getting canceled!!! So tired of all that WOKE…
Dig a bit deeper
That's what she get for cheating and Humiliated herself 🦘🏊🏾♂️🤣⚰️....
every Olympics has an "Eric the Eel Moussambani" or "Eddie the Eagle" - 2024 it was Raygun
All the victimization, support, and not accountability seem like they don't want to take responsibility. Apologize and take responsibility. That's the only say to stop this.
first time in her breakdancing career she didn't win her "participation medal"
36 years old almost 37 was already red flags
That makes it even worse saying that she’s a dancer.
Breakdancing should never have been at the Olympics. As you yourself just stated there is no points system because it's not a sport . They don't have ballroom dancing either.
Rupha doesn’t know talent nor is anyone who moved her forward into Olympic competition. The zero score was a compassionate socore. Ridiculous is not a score which should have been given. What a mockery. The fact that she thinks she’s good engough to compete in the Olympics means she doesn’t belong there.
She understands break dancing, but she needs to understand that she can't dance.
Raygun knew exactly what she was doing. Had no chance of winning so turned in a train wreck performance to get herself some fame and international headlines. She will be a minor celebrity with requests to appear on reality TV shows when she returns to Australia
People aren't that stupid ......... It was visually displeasing to see such a performance. She knows what she did and so does everyone else. The truth will come out eventually. Don't cry when it does. Everyone pays the price
People with real skills work hard on their craft and get pushed aside by this lady - clearly something fishy
I just love watching a bunch of foreign white people define and clarify to the world what break is.
Someone should start an investigation into Anna Maeres and the Australian Olympic committee who were complicit with this fiasco. And Raygun and husband should return the money Australia spent in their Paris holiday!!!!!!!!! and she loves being a victim, her smile as she said " I am totally breaking stereotypes" is so aggravating!!!!! she is full of herself. May be an official investigation into what she did illegally to get a Paris holiday for free will wipe that smile from her face.....
She has no talent and it was apparent at the Olympics. It doesn't matter if she has a degree or not. Real talent always shows through.
She got zero points in the olympics, yet she earned her spot after beating other dancers in Australia and was best break-dancer for 2 years?? I believe this video is trolling.
My question is how did she even make it to the Olympics how just how,i did like the kangaroo and the bunny 🐰 man that was so funny
Why is it so difficult to find actual video of her performing and not be still photographs?
First time in history Olympics getting alot of criticism 2024 what a year
These people are deluded. She was so bad she was funny. That is why her performance went viral around the world. Her supporters are not living in the real world.
Why was the no selection event in Perth. Or in underprivileged areas of the country ?
This makes me think of the tale of the king wearing no clothes.
Oh no! .. looks like Raygun is never going to stop doing that awful thing she calls breakdancing or even worse she's going to teach little kids to also do it 😮
If she just admit her self and say that wasn't very good, or even take the joke/artistic side of it... But she didn't, its like an SNL skit?
Her response is not helping the situation. If she had a sense of humor and was willing to laugh with the public I think we would be having a very different discussion.
She didn’t cheat. Is she Olympic quality? No. But she legit qualified.
Having break dancing as an Olympic sport is just as gay as having men fight women
Oh that's ridiculous. She's not a professional dancer. Anyone who has actually seen professional break-dancing would know this. Sure, it was "original" but that doesn't mean it was good. It wasn't even well executed either. I don't hate her - but she's not good enough to have gone to the olympics. This is more of a talent-show variety dance level.
Corruption ...corruption...Raygun
Australians send a comedian for break dancing, apparently they dont know stand up comedy is not an Olympic sport, but seriously what a joke, no pun intended
If you are looking for conspiacies, You don't understand the Australian sense of humour.
Raging narcissist! Took a real breaker's spot
How and where did she get her Phd?
Oh don't you know? She got it from inside a box of breakfast cereal.
Not brutal, more exposing corruption.
Olympic level participation trophy folks.
Why is break dancing included in the Olympics in the first place?
Disgraceful
Video actually ends at 5:50 FYI
Si elle.a.gagné 2021 et 2023,en tant que meilleure danseuse
Ça veut dire le niveau de breackdance en australie est tres bas.
I don't feel sorry for her, she shouldn't of been there in first place.
Shameless couple.
I follow a talented young man on RUclips who though he may be very smart and skilled is not a professional break dancer at all yet he re-created this hilarious performance to the tea. In my opinion I think that proves that Ron has no business being in the Olympics. if she had to work hard to be able to do what he re-created in one day then I don't think she is the most qualified for this sport
Please let me know the channel. Please oh pretty please
In boxing the referee would have stopped the fight someone should have stopped her from dancing
She harrassed the Olympics and Australia with her break dancing moves. Im sure there were much better break dancers in Australia compared to Raygun. She scammed the system just to embarrass herself and her country in the Olympics.
Yo y'all what you bring to the break floor got to be funky.
If those are the best breakdancer from new zEland and Australia maybe they shouldn’t compete at all !!
for raygunn it was just fun. But for the breaker community it was a unique chance to show the world that breaking can be a professional sport.
WE 🇮🇳NS SHOULD ALSO TALK ABOUT HOW VINESH PHOGAT MADE IT TO THE OLYMPICS BY VIOLATING RULES DURING SELECTION. PHOGAT MADE IT TO THE OLYMPICS BY REPLACING SHIVANI PAWAR, A 2024 ASIAN WRESTLING CHAMPIONSHIPS MEDAL WINNER IN THE 50 KG CATEGORY.
