The 2024 Paris Olympics are the first Olympic Games to include breakdancing officially known as breaking as an event, and an unlikely competitor has stolen the show.
Rachael Gunn, who breaks using the name Raygun, is a 36-year-old professor at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia, with a Ph.D. in cultural studies. On Friday, Raygun failed to earn even a single point and did not advance beyond the competitions round-robin stage. But her moves made a big impact.
