Rachael Gunn, the Australian breakdancer known as Raygun, is speaking out after her 2024 Paris Olympics performance went viral and was mocked both online and off.

Gunn, a 36-year-old college professor with a Ph.D. in cultural studies, said in a new video posted on Instagram Thursday that the "hate" she has received has been "devastating."

"I just want to start by thanking all the people who have supported me. I really appreciate the positivity, and I'm glad I was able to bring some joy into your lives. That's what I hoped," Gunn said in the video, her first since competing in Paris. "I didn't realize that that would also open the door to so much hate, which has frankly been pretty devastating."

Gunn did not earn a medal in Paris, losing her three round-robin battles by a score of 54-0.

Gunn competed in Paris against b-girls in their late teens and early 20s.

Her unique dance moves quickly became the focus of memes and jokes on social media.

On social media, some users dubbed one move by Gunn "the kangaroo," while others compared her dance moves to when a child asks you to watch their performance.
