Rachael Gunn, who performs under the name Raygun, gained widespread attention during the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, and she’s now creating even more buzz after being filmed showing off her moves to a cheering crowd.

This 36-year-old university lecturer from Sydney caught the spotlight with her performance at Place de la Concorde during the breakdancing event at the Paris Games. Her distinct style has drawn laughs from many viewers online, including Grammy-winning artist Adele.

“I believe it’s the most exciting thing to happen in the Olympics,’” Adele remarked about Gunn’s dancing during a concert in Munich, Germany. “Did anyone happen to see the breakdancing lady? I had no idea breakdancing was an Olympic sport nowadays. I think that’s (expletive) amazing.”

Adele went on to share that she and her friends had been “giggling” about Gunn’s performance for “nearly 24 hours,” expressing that it brought her a great deal of joy.

Regardless of the jokes, Gunn is fully embracing her newfound fame, and lucky fans are getting the chance to witness her breakdance live. A TikTok user named @jeanmitchell shared a video of Gunn performing in the street while fans surrounded her, cheering after each move, captioned: “(Expletive) QUEEEEN.”

How did Raygun fare at the Paris Olympics?

While Gunn is winning over new fans, the judges at the Olympics were not as impressed; no points were awarded to the “B-girl” throughout her matches. She faced defeats against the USA’s Logistx, France’s Syssy, and Lithuania’s Nicka, with scores of 18-0 in each round.

With a PhD focused on the intersection of gender and Sydney’s breaking scene, Gunn previously represented Australia at world championships in 2021 and 2022 and secured her Olympic spot through the 2023 Oceania championships, according to CNN.

“In 2023, many of my students found it hard to believe when I told them I was training to qualify for the Olympics, and they were shocked when they looked it up and saw that I really qualified,” said Gunn to CNBC earlier this month.

Most of the 32 B-boys and B-girls at the Paris Games started breakdance battling at a young age, but Gunn only began her first competition in 2012.

“All my moves are original,” Raygun mentioned to CNN after her Paris performance. “Creativity is crucial to me. I express my artistry in my performances. Sometimes it resonates with the judges, and sometimes it doesn’t. I perform for the art of it. That’s the essence of it.”
