Australia’s viral Olympic breakdancer Rachael “Raygun” Gunn has finally made a public statement about her internationally maligned performance at the Paris games, and it seems she’s standing by her efforts. The Games may be over, but the drama continues.
In a video posted to Instagram on Thursday, Raygun stated that she was unprepared for the backlash she’d received, and that she’d hoped to “bring some joy into [people’s] lives.”
“I didn’t realise that that would also open the door to so much hate, which has frankly been pretty devastating,” Raygun said. “While I went out there and I had fun, I did take it very seriously. I worked my butt off preparing for the Olympics, and I gave my all, truly. I’m honoured to have been a part of the Australian Olympic team and to be part of breaking’s Olympic debut.”
