Australian quits breaking after ridicule at Olympics
The Guardian
|November 08, 2024
An Australian who became one of the defining athletes of the 2024 Games has retired from competitive breaking as a result of the scrutiny she received following her performance.
Rachael "Raygun" Gunn, 37, became a viral sensation thanks to her routine in Paris, prompting some support but wider ridicule.
The sport has been dropped from the Olympics programme for the Los Angeles Games in 2028, but Gunn said she would also step away from local competitions.
"I was going to keep competing, for sure, but that seems a really difficult thing for me to do now, to approach a battle," she told 2DayFM. "I still dance and I still break but that's like, in my living room with my partner."
