Raygun: Why Olympic Games star scored ZERO in Paris
A breakdancing judge has explained why Raygun scored a pitiful zero at the Olympics.
Rachael Gunn, aka Raygun, 36, a lecturer at the University of Sydney, failed to score in any of her three matches when breaking became an Olympic sport for the first time on Friday in Paris.
Since then, Gunn has become the target of criticism from parlor critics and keyboard heroes, not only for her performances, but also for her appearances on social media and in some mainstream media.
Breaking judge MGbility enters the room and explains why Australian Rachael Gunn received no votes for her imperfect and polarizing performance at the Paris Olympics.
Her mental health is being closely monitored following online attacks on her performances at La Concorde.
And jury member MGbility expressed his sympathy to the Australian who failed to score a single point.
“I personally feel very sorry,” MGbility told News Corp.
“The breaking and hip hop community is definitely behind her. She was just trying to bring something new, something original and something that represents her country.
Breakdance judge reveals why Raygun scored zero points at the Olympics
The Australian has gone viral after her dance routine in the inaugural competition
“We’re sticking with her. We have five criteria in the comparative assessment system. Only her level was perhaps not as high as that of the other participants.
“Again, we’re using a comparative rating system. Her competitors were just better, but that doesn’t mean she did really bad. She did her best.”
Gunn hopped like a kangaroo, gaped at an opponent and performed the sprinkler, a routine MGbility felt best suited Australia as a nation.
“She represented Australia and Oceania and did her best,” she said.
“She officially won the qualification for Oceania. If some people are wondering how she got to the Olympics, she qualified from her region.
‘Unfortunately for her, the other b-girls were better. That’s why she didn’t score any votes in her rounds.
The judge revealed that Raygun unfortunately fell below the standard of her opponents
‘Breaking news is all about originality and bringing something new from your own country or region. And that’s exactly what Raygun did.
‘She was inspired by her surroundings, which in this case was, you know – kangaroo. The animal.
‘For breaking, if you’re looking for innovation or originality, you always look outside of dancing. Martial arts, how the animals move, everything.’
