Raygun, "destrozado" por el odio en Internet tras su actuación en los Juegos Olímpicos
Australian breaker Rachael Gunn, known as B-Girl Raygun, has publicly addressed the widespread online criticism following her performance at the 2024 Paris Olympics. In recent comments, Gunn described the influx of negative feedback as "devastating." The athlete expressed disbelief at the volume and intensity of online hate and memes targeting her Olympic debut. Gunn acknowledged the support she has received and refuted claims that she did not take her Olympic preparation seriously. She emphasized her dedication and hard work leading up to the event. An online petition questioning her selection and calling for an investigation gained over 50,000 signatures, prompting the Australian Olympic Committee to release a statement. The committee denounced the petition as "vexatious, misleading and bullying," and defended Gunn's qualification through fair and independent events. Toronto break dancer B-boy Switch B, who provided commentary for CBC, noted that breaking culture is less prominent in Australia but stood by Gunn's skills and performance. He argued that the negative feedback was largely unfounded snippets turned into memes and praised Gunn's abilities. The petition against Gunn has reportedly been removed. Gunn has requested privacy while vacationing with her family and plans to address the issue further upon her return.
