At this level, does anybody bear in mind who really received the gold medal in ladies’s breaking at the 2024 Olympics?

For the document, that was Ami Yuasa, a.ok.a. B-Girl Ami, of Japan. 

But the Internet has been way more obsessive about Australia’s Rachael Gunn, or B-Girl Raygun, who went infectiously viral towards the finish of the Paris Games for the reverse purpose of why an athlete would need to take social media by storm.

“me forcing my mom to watch the dance i made up in the pool,” learn one Aug. 9 put up on X reacting to Gunn’s efficiency throughout the event-opening spherical robin. Noted one other, “I kinda feel bad for RayGun, the Aussie #BreakingForGold—but that routine was hilariously ridiculous.”

Even de facto ambassador of pleasure Snoop Dogg seemingly endorsed the pile-on, posting a montage of a bunch of different Olympic breakers on Instagram Aug. 12 with the caption, “This was the real stuff!!! Respect.”

Needless to say, Gunn’s strikes had been judged as not solely not-ready-for-primetime, however not-ready-for-any-time on a world stage corresponding to the Olympics.
