The controversy surrounding Australian breakdancer Rachael "Raygun" Gunn has taken a new turn as social media reacts to her Olympic performance.

Gunn, who secured her spot at the Paris Olympics by winning the WDSF Oceania Championships, has faced intense criticism for her unorthodox routine.
The performance, which included mimicking a snake, kangaroo, and even doing the sprinkler, was widely panned online, with many questioning how she defeated fellow Aussie B-girl Molly Chapman.
A video of Chapman at a Red Bull BC One event has since gone viral, leaving viewers in disbelief that Gunn represented Australia in Paris.
Despite the backlash, Gunn has received support from Australian Olympic officials and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, who emphasized the importance of participation.
However, the criticism has led to a petition demanding a public apology from Gunn and Australian Olympic officials, which has garnered over 25,000 signatures.
While Gunn extended her stay in Europe after the Olympics, the debate over her selection continues to grow, with many in the breakdancing community calling for a review of the qualification process.
