B-Girl Raygun mocked on social media for Olympic debut
36-year-old academic and breakdancer faced criticism for her attire and routine
Australian breakdancer Rachael Gunn, known competitively as b-girl Raygun, has been mocked on social media after her Olympic debut. Gunn, who has a PhD in breakdancing and dance culture, was one of the first competitors in the sport's Olympic debut on Friday.
However, the 36-year-old faced criticism for her attire and routine, with some users on social media questioning whether she was "too old" to be competing at the Olympics.
Gunn has since responded to the criticism, saying that she was "proud" of her performance and that she was "not going to let the haters get to me". She also pointed out that breaking is a young person's sport, and that she was "just happy to be part of history".
