For those who watched Raygun, whose real name is Rachael Gunn, at the Olympics, this may come as quite the surprise. She famously failed to record a single point and finished second-to-last with the only competitor finishing below her being disqualified.
So how is she the No. 1-rated breakdancer in the world? Well, James McKem of the New York Post reported that the Olympic outing didn’t factor into the rankings and that her performance at the WDSF Oceania Championship was the driver of her ascent into the top ranking.
