- The 2024 Paris Olympics have ended as Australia's most successful Games of all time and it didn't finish without one last appearance from the legendary breakdancer 'Raygun'.
Australian Sports Commission CEO Kieren Perkins joins us.
#Raygun #Breaking #ParisOlympics
You do realise she took the place of someone who practiced every day, had skills and actually deserved to go.
Her husband Samuel Free may have had something to do with that.
You mean a teenager and not some sad middle aged wannabee?
@@ceeemm1901 ageist pos
100 percent 💯👌
@jamesp8095 you are right... BUT she has 20+ years teaching "cultural" studies *and* contemporary music at a university... if they didn't send her they would have spent the next 10 years in court and/or cancelled and homeless.
Now we get to laugh at everyone that had to take out student loans to pay for a degree in "contemporary music" from the professor that was not only last, but received ZERO points in the olympics.
am in Dubai waiting for plane. Kid just noticed aussie flag on my bag, and started jumping like a lunatic saying "ray gun ray gun". I had to google to find out what was going on. Insane 😂 definitely gone viral
hopefully it stays that way haha
I'm Aussies too. That would have cracked me up big time.
Got to love the gaslighting with raygun. She danced terribly and the judges who are the alleged experts in breakdancing saw fit to give her 0 points. So no Kieren, with the support of the judges who did not like anything raygun did, the criticism is absolutely warranted. Everybody has the right to criticism, especially when it’s been directed at someone who used taxpayer’s money to go to the Olympic Games. So you don’t get to tell anyone to “get back in your box”. Absolutely disgusting by Kieren and extremely rude.
@@Roach22 okay listen here adult child, Olympic is not only about demonstrating mastery and achieving records, it's also about the spirit of inclusion. You heard of Eddie the Eagle? Now chill.
Agreed . He should get back in the box and close it . She sucked . Plenty of others coulda been a better representative .
@@_asantesana_squashbanana_ I always find it funny how the “nice” people immediately start with an insult. Newsflash, it makes you the opposite of nice. Also, inclusion has nothing to do with it as people like Eddie the Eagle went to the olympics because he met the entry standard for the time and earned his entry. So, if you’re not going to debate my points and just yell insults, then maybe just go yell insults at someone else.
@@_asantesana_squashbanana_ That's EXACTLY what the olympics are about you delusional dope. Your low standards are irrelevant and you're a joke.
@@_asantesana_squashbanana_Her husband is coach and selector you ok with that too?
I wish I have the blind support from my friends and family like what Raygun had receive. It goes to show how far you can get in life when you get support unconditionally 😂
@@freearch2251 nah she was just trolling bruh and now she's a legend
@@_asantesana_squashbanana_no, she was completely serious.
That blind support is what produced the pathetic performance that has the whole world mocking Australia
I would prefer people that loves me to give honest feedback otherwise I can be in a situation like this woman, totally ridiculous.
We are talking about the Olympics here, A Competition where ELITE athletes train for many many years .Long hours commited to their sport eating healthy and sacrificing their social lives.
It wasn't a high school talent show. Break dancing finally made it to the Olympics and that's what people will remember about it. She embarrassed a culture and people who think it doesn't belong now have her as an example to prove it.
@@matthewjones2513 Eddie the Eagles.
Eddie the Eagle successfully met all the requirements to qualify for the Olympics. These were set by his sports governing body. Do some research.
She is a narcissistic piece of work who prevented a much more younger better and prouder Aussie a spot there
That "performance" was about the same as when my 4 year old nephew says, "Look what I can do!"
1000% there were more deserving female breakdancers to represent Aus..
Oh god I hope so 🤣
Her husband was part of the selection committee
@@Noobmaster69_bro what does that have to do with it? please explain
@@ayderla789A husband’s love is blind… and after her performance we find out he really was legally blind 😂😂😂😂
Because of Raygun the rest of the world now knows that Australia has breakdancers, to begin with. She did far more good for Australia than any other breakdancer could have done. Others will parish behind the curtains of time and history, but the name Gun won`t be forgotten.
Are you all really serious that there isn’t a more qualified break dancer in Australia who could have represented your country? I bet there is some poor kid who doesn’t have the connections who could have really excelled. Shame on you all for not taking the opportunity to be highlighted on the world stage more seriously.
Yes…I’m an Aussie and I couldn’t agree more… embarrassing is an understatement!!!!
Shame on us? What say did we have sending this clown to the Olympics? No one had ever heard of her before that event.
Raygun! What a joke! The Olympics are for competition, not for comic!
No, the anonamous selecters are a joke, who are they? photos please....
The lesson is , sometimes as a country you dont have to enter a competitor in every event
Not only did she set breakdancing back 40 years, she set back womanhood back 200 years.
“What could be more Australian than going out there and being courageous enough to have a go” Maybe that’s not a good idea for the Olympics 😂
“To bring what’s unique about us to the world”…is he serious? She didn’t bring anything unique…she did the damn sprinkler for Pete sake. She was just bad, that’s all. If you walked into a random bar anywhere in the world and asked enough people plenty would come up with similar routine…it wasn’t Australian it was just amateur. Super embarrassing that she was selected when there are undoubtedly significantly more talented dancers in Aus. Classic example of someone being duped and impressed by a meaningless phd. Shame shame shame.
@@dcs4880 nah mate, you're a classic case of taking shi too serious. She trolled the world and got a free ticket to Paris and had a great time. Lol
Who's Pete sake?
@@clubstyleridahd4695 never heard that saying before?!
@@_asantesana_squashbanana_ and she took someone else’s place at the Olympics…a once in a lifetime opportunity. Are you saying Olympic sports shouldn’t be taken seriously? You were one of those kids that only won participation awards weren’t you. Makes sense now.
@@dcs4880 okay so genX or boomer?
That child who wasn't told the actual truth.
participation medal recipient from primary school becomes the diversity hire in adulthood.
@@kingkezz9188 got that bigot stench.
@@_asantesana_squashbanana_ Low iQ monkey
This is sad how these people on here said okay for what she did, not worry about she took someone place and I know she are not the best Aussie got to offer.
Off the top of your head, name just one Australian breakdancer..
@@immaturemushroom3591what does that prove. please educate yourself.
SHE WOULDVE LOST AT THE SPECIAL OLYMPICS .
Too much
@@Dreamer10888🤡
shh we shouldn't laugh she tried hard lol
😂😂😂
@@nobodysbusiness566 🤣👌
Having a go is not what Olympics is about. It’s for elite, dedicated athletes.
And because of all this there will be no breakdancing in the Olympics again.
It's being replaced by "Face Painting"
Thats not why breakdance is a one off at the Olympics. Before the Paris games even started it had already been decided that the next 2 Olympics wouldn't be having it in their games . Events for those games have already been decided .
@@ceeemm1901🤣
thank god
Not true. Uneducated.
'Different thinking' ok, I bet you wouldn't have the same attitude about a swimmer who did doggy paddle instead of freestyle. Let's pretend that she didn't take the spot of someone who actually deserved to be there! Can't believe the Project is still running.
@@calmstillwater hey bud, guess what? Olympians from all countries are encouraged to give it a go even if they don't do well. Google how many athletes represent their countries and can't hold a candle to other athletes in that particular event. It's not new...
Raygun was great!! I've never laughed so much in my life!!!😂
Yeah we have comedy clubs for performances like that …
The chap who says “what could be more Australian than having a go” is missing the point entirely. Each place on the national olympic squad should go to the person most deserving, in terms of talent, ability, training, attitude, commitment and performance in competition at national level. In this case, that isn’t what occurred and as a result, someone else missed out.
I know how ray gun feels my break dance name is spud gun and i carnt dance ether 😂😂😂
Sure shes a nice lady, but she should never have gotten to the olympics. At this point Aussie athletic and academic (Macquarie) integrity is in question. What a farce...
Very accurate comment ... plus how about the 20 or so potential other women break dancing potentials who were robbed of a fair chance to represent Australia and score maybe 1 point in 3 rounds minimum.
Do you know many Olympians represent their country despite being objectively bad? It's about the spirit of inclusion.
@@dannycrankovich they couldn't afford the qualifying fees.
@@_asantesana_squashbanana_ Not in Australia
Her husband was part of the selection committee
We just need the project to also say goodbye
Outside of the publicity, the Olympics was the worst thing to happen for Breaking, and Raygun, and especially the judges giving her across the board 0s for her silly novelty routine, is the best.
The Olympics is not the domain for someone to 'go out there and give it a go'. It's a place where dedicated athletes who have trained their entire lives give themselves in competition against the world's best. This woman should have went to her local PCYC and battled some kid there. Even then, I think she would've still lost
@@blahblahlablah FALSE. Google Eddie the Eagle.
@@_asantesana_squashbanana_ Eddie the Eagle did NOT want to be perceived as a joke, he wanted to be in the olympics and he actually set a record. Also you are a bot probably
@@_asantesana_squashbanana_please educate yourself
@@BlackQueen-z5b oh the irony.
This lady was never told no growing up! It's funny how everybody told her she was a great dancer, only to get a big fat 0 in the Olympics. Oh how courageous 😂🤣😂🤣
compare her perfromance to the redbull breakdancing comp, there is no comparasion
Didn't Earn It ... and didn't take a dance class.
And yeah, no mention that she single handedly destroyed the reputation of women’s breaking in both Australia and the Olympics.
She should have written her thesis on that.
"Have a go." is for try outs- NOT AT THE OLYMPICS.
@@nursesida nope, literally designed by the Olympics - the spirit of inclusion. Google it. Not new.
Raygun's a joke.
She's trolling.... lol
*Raygun got a free trip to the Olympics and a six figure job writing about it lol. She's milking the system and loving every minute!*
Thats the point, you fell for it
@@1nvisible1 I wish I had thought of it tbh, she's smart asf for that. People taking it way too serious lol don't tell them other people compete in the Olympics that 'shouldn't' be there because they are 'bad' too. Including this games... lol it's literally open for all to give it a go, as well as demonstrating expertise.
@@1nvisible1it would be genius if that was true but the fact that she’s completely serious is what turns it from funny into deeply concerning.
Lol...Raygun is to Break Dancing what The Project is to our intelligence.
Ray gun is a 🤡. How she got there is beyond comprehension. Made a mockery of the event.
There is nothing she will ever do in her life which will be redeeming enough for embarrassing and entire country.
She will be on either "I'm a Celeb get me..." or "Dances with the ...." It's a scam...
I dont know about breaking future in olympics but I just saw raygun's insta, australia is full of raygun. The breaking culture is a joke there, i saw raygun performing in some show in Aus, and judges and people are looking impressed with her performance. I mean whats happening in this world
why do we have to "be nice" to Raygun? It's time to stop praising mediocrity and giving participation medals to people "having a crack".
Does this mean Aussies actively advocate for participation awards?
Australia was the only country that took this dog of an Olympics seriously, except for our hero Raygun that told it like it was.
This is for the girls in Australia I truly thing there is talent and I truly hope that you get the recognition that you desserve and Raygun you' re not even a good joke
I wish I could find her complete performance without meme somewhere. Can’t find anything. I would like to see it myself before judging it. The few glimpses I saw where interesting. Would like to see the whole routine.
Yes, why is the whole performance not on RUclips?? It's a cover up!!
Fortunately I saw it live!! And trust me!! It was unbelieveable!! I couldn't believe anybody could be so bad and still be considered Australia's best female Breaker!!
All the negative comments, and ridicule, are deserved.
What surprised me is Raygun's own lack of self awareness of her complete lack of talent!!
Dunning Kroger Effect?? Yeah - Google that!!
I have it .. tried to upload it but youtube copyrights keeps on blocking it 😂😂
Reddit has one of the rounds
Channel 9 paid $305mill for the exclusive broadcast rights of the Olympics in Australia. They won't let you broadcast it anywhere. You'll have to watch it on nine now where you have to watch about 25 unskippable ads
It’s genuinely been scrubbed from the internet. Barely available anywhere. Pop ‘Raygun full performance Reddit’ into Google
Is making duck lips with every pose supposed to happen?
@@andypanda4756 she was trolling, that's why. Doing the same thing as Eddie the Eagle.
@@_asantesana_squashbanana_ Eddie the Eagle met the qualifying distance to make the olympics, and what he did was actually ski jumping. What "Raygun" did doesn't qualify as break dancing to any real break dancer.
Wanna hear a joke? 2024 Paris Olympics
How long until this sideshow falls out of the media cycle
I’d say about 2-3 days
For serious competitive competition
Not for inclusive garbage..... I feel for all the young talented bgirls that were blindsided by this uni spaz
How eloquent & appropriate that the question. Why women are paid less than men. Your honor may I present exhibit A, Miss Ray Gun your Honor. Case Closed.
oh yes, let's keep supporting inequality in 2024. how progressive of you
Okay magat
@@TheWhocaresusername Equality is equal pay for equal output. What you want is equal pay regardless of output, which is communism!
@TheWhocaresusername Her Performance generated Zero's across the board.. who in their right mind would pay to see that or sponsor them?..
She’s set breakin back 40 years Lol
@@redpillras3456 nah, got the world talking about it.
She should be ashamed to even show her face in a mirror, let alone public
For them to actually like what she did was sad
There are a lot dance sport enthusiasts that have been dancing since they were kids only to be represented by a DEI hire who shamed the sport for her own self interest. Raygun does not have an inch of respect for herself, the sport or for her country, truly a world class embarrassment.
Yes I wish they could admit that. But they are the same type of people
Okay maga
@@James-eo6bu 'typical' maga
@@_asantesana_squashbanana_ Okay typical Sleepy Joe and Cackling Kamala stan.
@@Bonbon-C Project 2025. Lol. Felon and a couch fkr.
She wrecked breakdancing in the olympics and world
I love how he says, "It was a great display of...different thinking."
Yeah, different thinking, like "how can I show total disrespect to real break dancers, the Olympics and my country, all at the same time?
Not surprised if there are viral videos of Rachel being approached by pissed off Aussies when she goes back home.
The Olympics were a joke, but the world needed it. Everything sucks right now.
as a brazilian, its always kind of errie to see yellow and green representing the country colors. some brazilians thought the breaking dance lady was brazilian lol and started hating on the left.
Is she really that bad ?? You still get 30 points for landing flat on your back in diving 😅😅😅😅
She was worse than bad. Chris Liley was better.
SUPER PROUD of RAYGUN!! 💙 An absolute OG offering so many iconic Australian references in her tricks. Brilliant!! Loved it!! Legend 💙
lol aussie fans are treating Raygun in the olympics like its the make a wish foundation hahah
Ela conseguiu tirar o break dance das olimpíadas, parabéns.
Raygun broke kangaroos back. May God help you MSM ur gonna need it
Ray Gunn and the Olympics, what a memorable woke moment for Australia finished by the same panel on this pathetic leftist woke show 🇦🇺💯
She's the Eddie the eagle of breakdancing.
The difference being Eddie was the best ski jumper GB had to offer. Raygun surely can’t of been Australia’s best.
It would be like Straunie actually playing an AFL game for Collingwood
Yes, we can all be psychotics and everything will be normal. Australia is very good at this.
Pimps in the crib? I believe the song is called drop it like its hot
Let's not kid ourselves she just wanted to say that part on live tv
Raygun is the Somali runner of Olympic breakdancing. 😂😂🤣🤣
She would've lost the paralympic and scorred 0 stop gaslighting us who watches the project anyway rayguñ fans 😂
When you prank the OL
She is so good break dancing is no longer an Olympic sport
Affirmative action, that’s what that was.
She destroyed the spirit of olympic... Humiliated Australia and its people, erased the other professional Aussie athletes, disrespected the breakdance community, embarrassed her students and fellow professors at uni, and list goes on... Unforgivable, this needs to be taken seriously... She needs to apologize!!!
The delusion is strong! She did a horrible job and these anchors are saying that her performance was a point of pride for the country! What a joke! Keep sending "athletes" like this to the games, and you won't have any room to talk about the Americans!
The "here here pat in the back everything's gonna be fine" sentiment is what's wrong. I don't object being compassionate. But she robbed the chance of other more competent breakdancers hoping to compete in the world stage. She got the preselection because her husband was the judge. The AOC should have better judgment on whether to even send anyone to compete in breakdancing.
Don't let them erode your musicality Raygun... jealousy is a terrible thing..
She’s a troll. Not an actual dancer.
0:33 imagine being in last place and only getting bronze because everyone ahead of you crashed 🤦🏻♂️
Watching Aussies embrace this woke embarrassment whole heartedly
shows us how forward thinking the Brits were when expelling this bloodline to the end of earth.
Well done Brits.
Regards to Britain's new stasi leader.
An indication of your ignorance in making such a comment...the 'woke' mindset certainly does not have origin in Aus! As for 'expelling bloodline' from Britain - go educate yourself....become an 'evolved' individual (if you have the ability)!!
@@krishender you ok?
She needs to see a specialist when she return home.highly recommended
She was trolling obviously.
I don't think she realized the amount of work required to be competitive. It would require 2 hours of strength, endurance and flexibility training 5 days a week with another 2-3 hours a day dedicated to working on and developing your routine. That is what most athletes training regime looks like.
Is that what raygun did to prepare? Highly doubtful it would seem. It isn't her fault, i just think Raygun had no concept of the level of work required.
She should copyright that dance, just in case the Nigerians come up with a few similar moves. May as well make some money off the embarrassment of the score.
She might have done better if her backing track was, "Spasticus Autisticus" by Ian Drury
@@ceeemm1901 😂😂
So was this the olympics or a community run event? 🤣
That was NOT breakdancing.
Score 0, 0 and 0 confirms that! Disgraceful.
Raygun got on the wrong plane she wasn't supposed to go to Paris she was supposed to go to Edinburgh Comedy fest..
Let us just hope aliens did not watch, otherwise she would be an embarrassment for all of humanity.
I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
A pregnant Kangaroo can break the dance better than Raygun the Ph. without a Distinction! :)
Australians acting like a spoiled brats, no matter wht they do its always right. Bro thats Olympic, only best of best goes there. Being shameless is not courage, she wasted an olympic slot for someone frm Aus. who truly deserved a chance in olympics than her. People are saying shes following her passion, its inspiring, i get that, following a passion is one thing but performing in Olympics with such rookie skills is completely diff thing
The traditional Aussie idea of give it a go, have a fair go is nothing wrong when you do it domestically, but not on the world stage.
Breaking Bad
1:09 knowing WEN TO QUIT 🙌🏼🇦🇺
Her husband is a breaking coach? 😮 Only one client! 😂
1:18 Funny dance and comedy dance by Raygun, but don't mock Aussie sports person or team, they will come back stronger unlike other sports person country ; they have nerveless with strong determination and full support financially strong country..... In football, they lacked behind in world cup events but they r developing in every fifa world cup, we will later know in the next Olympics eventhough Olympics medals depends on population- game structure...
RayGun absolutely smoked it....with Snoop Dog
😂😂😂 ray gunn
I predict that Just like "doing a Bradbury" became part of the Australian lexicon, so too will "doing a Raygun".
Only it will mean the opposite.
Hahah the bit were adel was taking about raygun is actually mocking it the project just cut it back to the sarcastic phrase
Very on topic that a woman identifying as a break dancer got into the Olympics
Aussie has the its best performer and the worst performer! She broke the best record in breakdancing. IQ=100, score =000!
OMG! Australia should really be more honest. Gaslighting at its finest!
Give it a spell Ian, Jesus Christ
She took the 1St place for entertaining the world 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 what a joke it was
