The world will be rocked by the shocking announcement that b-girl Rachael Gunn, popularly known as “Raygun,” is permanently hanging up her competitive sneakers.
This breaking wonder, who wowed millions with her amazing skills during the Olympics in Paris, has made the decision to retire from competition dancing at the age of 37.
“I still break, but I don’t compete,” Gunn said in an emotional admission on 2DayFM. I will no longer be competing. “No, no,” she said openly. Following a tsunami of criticism that made the idea of competing too intimidating, the decision was taken.
She admitted, “I was definitely going to continue competing, but that seems really hard for me to do now.” Her living space now serves as her dance floor, where she and her partner escape the intense spotlight of attention and viral videos.
From Sydney to San Francisco, her distinctive Australian tracksuit and cap ensemble inspired Halloween costumes, making it a global sensation. But in spite of her fame, she was more notorious than celebrated after her Olympic experience, which caused her to take a bittersweet break from the sport she loves.

Following the Olympics, Gunn’s life was filled with celebrity interactions, such as hangouts with Boy George and Richard Branson. She even spearheaded a campaign to inspire Australians to outdo her breaking skills. However, the difficulties of her sudden celebrity were brought to light by a botched attempt to trademark her b-girl nickname “Raygun” soon after the Games.
You can feel the pain of her choice.
In response to the tremendous reaction to her performances, Gunn said, “It’s really upsetting.” She has chosen to live a more sedate life away from the competitive breakdance scene because she is struggling with losing control over her public character, but her legacy as a pioneer in the sport is unlikely to diminish anytime soon.
One thing is certain as the breaking community and her fans accept her retirement: Rachael “Raygun” Gunn will continue to have an influence on the breaking community and beyond for years to come.
