Australian breakdancer Rachael Gunn, known as B-Girl Raygun, failed to score a single point at the Paris Olympics with her viral performances, but she's the one laughing now. According to the new rankings released by the World DanceSport Federation, the governing body for breakdancing, Raygun is now the No. 1 female breaker in the world.Not a joke. Not really a sport, either.

Having had the hilarious.... misfortune? surprise? stupification?...to see Raygun's painfully spastic....routine, I can honestly say her performance was pure cringe gold. It was probably one of the funniest things that has ever happened at the olympics of any period in history from ancient Greece to today.
The woman literally has zero self awareness of her talent or physical ability and thinks she's awesome. Sydney Watson (who is also from Australia) did an accurate imitation of Raygun's unique dance style on her youtube channel and I couldn't arguably say she was worse.
The real controversy around 'Raygun', is that she has no apparent talent or physical ability and agility whatsoever, all of which are required if you are going to do fast paced highly strenuous acrobatic seizures (break dancing). 'Raygun' was on the Olympic team only because of her husband and political connections to the olympic committe, and this has caused quite a stink in Australia because of the blatant nepotism and attempts to cover up the fact the woman obviously can't dance (think along the lines of Elaine dancing in Seinfield). She wasn't remotely qualified for what she was there to do.
