Australian Olympic breakdancer Rachael Gunn said the hate she received over her routines at the Paris Games is “devastating.”
The 36-year-old B-girl, who performs as Raygun, responded to the intense and relentless online criticism in a short video message posted Thursday on Instagram. See her post below.
Social media memes and skits re-creating her dance exploded on the internet after clips of her routine went viral. One move in particular — where Gunn holds her arms close to her body and kicks one leg in the air as she leans back — was quickly dubbed the “kangaroo” in reference to her native country.
