In “The Interview Everyone’s Been Waiting For,” Olympic sensation Raygun will reveal the secrets behind why she’s Australia’s top breakdancer.
At the Paris 2024 Olympics, fans experienced the debut of breakdancing as an official sport, and it exceeded expectations, all thanks to Dr. Rachael Gunn, better known as Raygun.
No, she didn’t earn her doctorate in breakdancing, but rather as a lecturer in the Department of Media, Communications, Creative Arts, Language, and Literature at Macquarie University’s Faculty of Arts in Sydney.
Her performance was described by viewers as “hilariously ridiculous,” and the Australian competitor ended up receiving a score of zero from the judges.
One of the judges has since commented on her groundbreaking performance, noting that it was a tough act to follow when it came to rallying the crowd behind her.
Breakdancing judge MGbility told News Corp, “I personally feel very sorry. The breaking and hip-hop community definitely stands behind her.”
“She was simply trying to introduce something new, something original, and something that represents her country.”
“We support her wholeheartedly. It’s just that her level might not have been as high as the other competitors.”
He added, “We use a comparative judging system. Her competitors were simply better, but that doesn’t mean she performed poorly. She gave it her all.”
Raygun went viral for her unique performance, and the 37-year-old is set to give a tell-all interview later today (September 4) on Australia’s Channel 10.
A teaser for Wednesday night’s episode of The Project showed host Waleed Aly asking her, “Do you genuinely think you are the best female breaker in Australia?”
Raygun replies, “Well, I believe my record speaks for itself.”
Absolutely, it’s impressive to see such confidence!
Her performance featured her jumping like a kangaroo and slithering like a snake. Although she lost all her battles, Yahoo Lifestyle reports that an insider from Australian TV broadcasters believes networks might be vying for her attention.
Great news for fans of the now-global star, as it means we’ll be seeing more of the iconic dancer in the future.
Its source said, “The future of one of the world’s most talked-about Australians, Raygun, is currently being negotiated with multiple TV offers.”
“They are seeking exclusive network deals that could span 12 to 24 months, potentially blocking out other opportunities from competing programming.”
