The Prime Minister of Australia publicly supported Raygun, who was the country’s representative at the Olympic breakdancing competition in Paris.
Raygun’s performance on Friday caught widespread attention, with many people commenting on and even mocking her.
In her three-round match, Dr. Gunn was not able to score a point. Her style is known for its improvisation and flow, as well as her ability to hop like a kangaroo.
While one of her rivals was dancing, she yawned and started doing some restrained dance steps.
The footage of her performance went viral, and it has prompted a lot of discussion.
Anna Meares, the head of Australia’s Olympic team, said that online trolls were misogynistic because she had broken into a predominantly male sport.
On Sunday, Anthony Albanese, the Prime Minister of Australia, also showed his support for Raygun.
Mr. Albanese praised Raygun for taking on the role of representing her country.
Dr. Gunn, who is a cultural studies researcher, was able to qualify for the Olympics through the qualification process.
The Prime Minister noted that the Olympics were about celebrating people’s participation in sport.
That’s a good thing, as it shows that athletes are still willing to put in the effort required to participate in the Olympics.
Breakdancing was removed from the program in Los Angeles in 2028, though it could be reinstated in Brisbane in 2023.
Meares, who has won six Olympic medals, leapt to Raygun’s defense, crediting her with fighting her way into the sport.
Meares praised Raygun, who she referred to as an amazing member of the team.
She said that she was disappointed that she had been attacked, as she had shown great enthusiasm and courage while representing her country. In 2008, she had been the only female participant in a sport that was dominated by men.
It took a lot of courage for Raygun to fight for her chance to participate in the sport she loved.
According to Dr. Gunn, dancing is an art, and she enjoys showing her creativity by performing original steps.
