The Olympic committee contacted her with the intention that Rachel would contact her “ breakdancing friends” and inform them that Australia could form a breakdancing team to compete at the Olympics. They also told her to get three judges together to judge the dancers who turned up. And breakdancers indeed showed up, but she used her husband to guarantee she made the team. Here is why they thought she was the person to seek out: The Olympic committee used a thesis she wrote for HER cultural studies final when she was in school. It was on Breakdancing and the help it could do to join Australia in unity and to help do away with systemic racism in the country……no I am not joking 🤦🏽‍♀️ BREAKDANCING could end systemic racism in Australia she hypothesized…… This is the kind of scam artist they sent to represent their country. 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️😒

Adding "Olympian" to her bloated resume has come at a cost On top of government funding for her bogus occupation, Raygun competes in breaking competitions yearly. Paris 2021, Seoul 2022, Madrid 2023, Paris again 2024. No doubt with some "planned downtime" after each. Don't know if she gets govt funding for those trips. At a minimum those trips for her and her husband (coach) would be tax deductible.

Her coach was her husband, Samuel Free, who also considers himself a breakdancer but, if you see his videos, it's clear that he CANNOT break! He stumbles so much, can't pick himself up off the floor because he's 1) a little on the heavy side and 2) not as flexible. Rachael Gunn has NOT returned to Australia.

[@StephanieMurray-s3c]

No

[@zxyatiywariii8]

Exactly. A genuinely talented Aussie breaker could've used that opportunity.

[@charlespittsjr604]

She is exactly what black people are talking about she had privilege her whole life and took a spot from someone else.

[@shanerooney7288]

Some facts about the "Raygun" saga: 1) SHE helped form the commity that chose who was sent to the Olympics for breakdancing. 2) HER HUSBAND was one of the judges who decided who would go. 3) HER HUSBAND went with her, as her coach.

[@Jilli8310]

Her husband wasn't a judge. I watched the qualifying event. It was incredibly sad. There were other break dancers that could have gone, none were too much better, but they were better than her. I think the judges chose her because she organized the qualifying event or they just were not good at judging. Plain and simple. Some people should not be judges.

[@JustAnotherBeth]

All of this has been debunked. None of that is actually true.

[@neplatnyudaj110]

​@@Jilli8310Is the qualifying event to be seen anywhere?

[@alerickson3885]

This is what happens when you send someone to the normal Olympics but clearly should be in the "Special " Olympics where at least she would get a participation troffey for coming in last.

[@andrewferguson887]

What do you expect from a Cultural Studies Professor at Macquarie University. No body hates her, but expect to be judged by everybody if you want to compete in an Olympics, it was garbage.

[@alexroca6981]

Whilst "professor" is a mere job description in dumberica, it's actually an esteemed qualification that takes at least 8 years out here in the real world. She does not have this qualification, that's why she's a lecturer.

[@BeeTrillion]

So much joy in the laughter she brought us…… I hated the cringe I was feeling and had to change the channel…… 😂

[@lianas3593]

She's like a bad smell. She keeps coming back....

[@BillRoyMcBill]

"I've gone as far as my looks, and talent can take me...now it's time to Get Stupid, and see where that goes!"

[@AlphonseWeebay]

No point in going harder at her than the folks she really embarrassed - her fellow Ozzies

[@yamigurl822]

I’ll never get hearing her say angrily “I worked my butt off” . So disrespectful cuz no she didn’t

[@richardmattocks]

My experience of Australians is that while they are patriotic, they really don’t like to lose at sports and especially don’t like to look stupid while losing.

[@freedomofchoicelover3734]

And they gate cheats and a defeatist...she said herself she was going to lose so she decided to not try

[@freedomofchoicelover3734]

Hate

[@ten3353]

Has anyone seen the disabled Olympian breakdancers? Incredible! An absolute quantum leap in skill, from what we saw from raygun. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@kevin-sx1iw]

Absolutely disgusting behavior allowed by the Olympic committee. Demons at last supper, people swimming by crap in swine river,men beating up women in boxing ,and Ray gun attempting to dance.

[@LittleBlueOwl318]

That was NOT the "Last Supper" - it was Greek Mythology... the Olympics originated in Greece, yes? Educate yourself before spreading disinformation.

[@Platoface]

Cmon man, she has self professed “musicality” and “body awareness”. 😂

Ill tell ya how she got in , She formed the Olympic selection board and her Husband /trainer was head of that Committee . They are Investigating it now here .

[@Sw5612b]

They should all be charged and should lose their jobs also required to pay back what it cost to send her and her coach her husband because they all fed into the delusions!!!!!

[@animalian01]

Fair due she had a go, however this is what you get when you give out participation awards at school,when you are not given an honest opinion on your performance or your abilities, you end up with Raygun.

[@hermanmunster4949]

The most asinine part of the story is that break-dancing became an Olympic Sport. Why not Polka where the contestants could drink beer and eat sausages? Dr. "Raygun" has brought attention to the useless self-absorbed degrees colleges will dish out to those willing to buy them. Raygun...get a REAL doctor degree with the oath of "First do no harm" for you surely made a mess of so many things.

[@caveatlector2671]

She wanted to live her dream, now she'll never live it down...

[@kerriemccoy1647]

I'm Australian & I was embarrassed, I like to see an investigation into how she qualified

[@musanyathi2298]

The zeros would have been honorable if she had given a decent performance. She should have stuck to the routine she peddled in prior competitions. Would she have won the Oceanic finals with the kangaroo hop and sprinkler...?

[@olliefoxx7165]

Yes bc her husband and mom were judges. She was handed that position due to nepotism and fraud.

[@bf6159]

Style of dance... the floppy flounder? Forever, her name will be synonymous with someone too arrogant to realize how much of a fool they are. And, the World of Break Dancing now has a perma-diss... "Ausi moves"

[@brutalxxghost4148]

you forgot the boxing men on women death match

[@FlamingGalahss]

So australian men were representing our country by hitting women. Go figure!!!

[@finwefingolfin7113]

and the pole vaulter who got his junk caught on the bar

[@martiedoherty5765]

Well ,we have just heard, here in Australia that Raygun has sadly decided to retire from breakdancing. But, in positive news she begins her new career in unorthodox crocodile teasing, featuring her enticing a river full of crocodiles toward her by mimicking a wounded, badly hopping kangaroo! Go go , Dr Croc!

[@MRR-qv3bw]

@0:24 Let me get that number for the chicken & dumplings girl. Thanks brother😜

[@danelynch7171]

You get her Monday, Wednesday, Fri and Saturday. I get the other days. I could use some crazy dumplings! 😂

[@rottenparts]

At least she lived up to her name. She zapped breakdancing right out of the Olympics.

[@Keithlynd_]

coach????? coach??? I believe it's her husband and even him is like... questionable at best???

[@wattage2007]

I saw footage of his ‘break dancing’ and it seems he’s even worse than her.

[@Keithlynd_]

@@wattage2007 at least raygun has skill in dancing, not breakdancing, but at least dancing

[@jironthunder7519]

For all that effort, paper hustling and deception, raybunt didnt bother to actually learn how to breakdance?!

[@FrankZR1]

Australia didn't send their best. Horrible people.

[@markrigg6623]

Horrible people?

[@alexanderthegreatoz5945]

It's not the Australian people's fault. They were more surprised, and dare I say ashamed, regards this.

[@battles423]

Can’t wait for the movie 😂😂…. Like “Cool Runnings” or “Eddie the Eagle”…A new Disney movie

[@magpiefrogfrom2556]

Cool runnings 1993, Eddie the eagle 2016, Ragun 2025. 🙃🙃🙃

[@freedomofchoicelover3734]

At least the other two actually did the event they entered and tried their highest best and didn't steal money and another person chance on the way, no comparison

[@FeeNixBeech]

Can't forget the people puking from the poop river. XD

[@uncletomsapprentice5733]

The boxer who took part in the Olympics 'that fought in the women's event, is hidden by a Break dancer who could not break dance.

[@mudhutproductions]

Oh just wait until you hear about the stunning and brave company that just signed a contract with her trying to exploit the internet infamy.

[@chrislom5288]

Props for the Tommy Chong impression

[@PamelaAttwood]

She won selection because she had some knowledge of how the Dance Federation that was involved in setting up BreakAustralia which ran the Oceanica Qualifying Competition organised itself. She and her husband didn't have to be directly involved with these two organizations but knew how the professional Dance Sport bodies would have to be set up for the Olympics. The Breaking community of Australia is small, lacks financial backing had been more informal in its organizations. Also Australia is a massive country and transport to national Competition is usually done by air travel due time restrictions. She financially was better placed than most participants seeking qualifications due to her position as a university lecturer and influencer. She deliberately decided to try and over compensate by chosing to go for her interpretation of artistic presentation. She knew she was not skilled enough on power moves.

[@PuchimonExtreme]

All zeroes but she got all the fame. Pretty much one of the only few things people remember about the stupid Olympics. Task Failed Successfully.

[@ApocGuy]

gojira were great imho, but rest... total failure.

[@miketan4803]

But they were golden zeroes, lol

[@AllergictolowIQ]

I don't hate her. Because of her I can put Olympic level break dancing skill on my CV.

[@twistidclowns]

The bots are out in full force tonight!

Yea! I wrote “Spam” in all those comments.
