Break dance in Olympics made its debut in the ongoing mega event with 17 B-girls and 16 B-boys making their way to France with the hopes of securing a gold medal. During the competition, several dancers showed their skills, but one Australian dancer found herself at the centre of a social media storm following her routine during the women’s contest. Rachael Gunn, a 36-year-old Australian with a background in creative arts, took to the stage in a dark green and gold tracksuit, symbolising her Australian heritage. However, it wasn’t her outfit that caught the most attention-it was her unconventional moves. WATCH:
One move, in particular, a kangaroo hop, became a focal point of online ridicule. Social media users were quick to mock the move, with many sharing clips and memes that portrayed Gunn’s performance as laughable. Despite the negative reaction, Gunn’s performance has kept her in the public eye, with discussions about her routine continuing long after she exited the competition.
