‘The sport’ of breaking has copped a hiding on its Olympics debut and an Aussie has also been cruelly mocked
Australia’s Rachael Gunn — or Raygun — was one of the athletes involved and her performance failed to impress.
Breakdancing will not feature at the next Olympics in Los Angeles and it’s easy to understand why.

Fans — or rather non-fans — took to social media to smash the event, saying it is “not a sport” and required the least amount of skill ever.
Unfortunately for the 36-year-old Raygun, she was also roasted.
She lost all of her battles in the group stage and exited the competition after the first round.
“Props to Raygun for having the guts to go out there … but this was the most second hand embarrassment I’ve ever felt,” one non-fan raged on X (formerly Twitter).
“I always like to give the new sports a chance, so can confirm it’s an ABOMINATION. The lowest bar ever to be cleared for an Olympic medal,” another said.
And another: “Never watched breaking before but I can already tell Raygun doesn’t have a chance in this event.”
And another: “The Aussie B-girl Raygun dressed as a school PE teacher complete with cap while everyone else is dressed in funky breaking outfits has sent me …
“It looks like she’s giving her (opponent) detention for inappropriate dress at school.”
Another user cruelly compared Raygun’s thrusting action to “when my calf cramps up in bed”
“C’mon this is not a sport, this isn’t anything except turbo cringe,” another shared.
The women’s breaking events are all contained in one day.
The inaugural gold medal was won by Japan’s B-Girl Ami.
She won the three rounds of the final against Lithuania’s B-Girl Nicka, scoring 16 judges’ votes to 11.
The bronze went China’s B-Girl 671.
The men’s side of the draw begins later on Saturday night, with Australian athlete Jeff Dunne — or J-Attack — set to compete.
