Rachael Gunn, 37, also known as "Raygun" on the breaking stage, announced she is quitting competitive breakdancing following the negative response to her performances in the 2024 Paris Olympics.

She will only break at home with her partner, but not in the competitive sphere.

"Dancing is so much fun and it makes you feel good and I don’t think people should feel crap about, you know, the way that they dance,"

She pointed at the waves of disproving perceptions of her online that she could not control, as well as how viral her performances actually became.
