Raygun, the Australian break dancer who scored zero at the Olympic Games, has recently given a surprising answer to whether she's the "best female breaker in Australia."
Rachael Gunn, AKA 'Raygun', a B-girl who competed in the breakdancing event at the prestigious games in Paris last month, was left devastated after her unique performance inspired by kangaroos scored her nil points with the judges.
The 37-year-old, who is a Cultural Studies lecturer at Macquarie University in Australia, was seen writhing about on the floor before hopping across the grand stage just like the national animal of her home country - moves that the judges clearly weren't impressed with at the time.
Gunn ended up scoring a zero for her efforts, but the bright side of it all is that she reached a new level of internet fame which I'm sure will help her career out a little, right?
Social media users were divided about the performance overall, but her name was trending across multiple social media platforms after her iconic performance.
With all that attention, Raygun is set to appear on the Aussie TV show The Project on Wednesday night in her first tell-all interview to confirm whether she was the "best female breaker in Australia."
A teaser for the episode showed host Waleed Aly asking her: "Do you genuinely think you are the best female breaker in Australia?"
Gunn responded: "Well, I think my record speaks to that."
That's the level of confidence I need to start manifesting.
In the wake of the unfortunate result last month, the dancer's father-in-law spoke out in support of his loved one.
"It was a pretty stacked competition and the judges were clearly looking for a certain style of breaking which is not Rachael's," he said on social media as per the Daily Mail.

"Although they are supposed to mark five different aspects with each having the same weighting, in my obviously biased opinion they did not reward originality and musicality so she was up against it," he continued before adding: "The main thing is she represented Australia and breaking at the Olympics with courage and dignity."
Gunn's episode on The Project is set to premiere later today.
