The World DanceSport Federation (WDSF) on Monday named Australian breakdancer Rachel Gunn, who made headlines for her hilarious performance at the Paris Olympics in August, as the sport's number one female ranked in the world.
Gunn, nicknamed “B-Girl Raygun,” surprisingly earned zero points in three matches at the Summer Olympics in France, losing all of her matches by scores of 18-0.
Not only did Raegan receive a zero, but she was a total laughing stock with her awkward, clumsy performance, resembling a baby giraffe trying to get through a wire fence.

The legendarily awful routine sparked online backlash, including parodies by former “Saturday Night Live” cast members Jimmy Fallon and Rachel Dratch.
But despite her embarrassing performance, the World DanceSport Federation ranked her the best in the world. The best in the world. No. 1 in the world. Imagine what would happen if Scottie Scheffler, the No. 1 golfer in the world, went to the Olympics and did a crappy performance. He didn't. He won the gold medal because he's the best. And rightly so.
Meanwhile, Raygun was so bad that the judges took a cue from the Adam Sandler classic “Billy Madison.” No pointsMay God have mercy on her soul.
Despite receiving harsh panning from the judges and critics, Raegan remained defiant and explained to the world that her performance was not well received because people did not understand her style.
Reignites took to the internet to defend the Queen, repeating her own explanation to justify her public humiliation.
“It's totally understandable that you can't see the subtle details of the form and original shapes she makes as she dances,” commented YouTube commenter DyzeeDiaries. video Raygun dance.
“You also wouldn't understand how she moves her feet so firmly and confidently in time with the rhythm,” the commenter continued. “Maybe it's our fault for not properly educating the audience on a standard or objective standard, but it's something we need to work on. The majority of breakers are rooting for Raegan because we understand the nuances of dance, art and culture, and we shouldn't expect non-breakers to understand that.”
Do you get it, idiot? She's not a failure. You're just a poor observer. Don't be prejudiced. Either you accept my arbitrary and vague standards for judging the ancient art of dance, or you'll be forever treated as an ignorant fool!

I can't believe it. A 4 minute video from WDSF, a rival of Raygun. No.2 Dancer B-Girl Riko has proven herself to be a much greater athlete and artist than cancer.
You don't need to be an expert in breakdancing to know that one of these girls has cat-like moves and the other girl can't dance at all. Rico's moves are fluid, impressive and impossible for an amateur to replicate.
Meanwhile, Reighan's performance was mediocre at best. There's no way that the average person couldn't do what she did at the Olympics with eight minutes of prep time. Don't believe me? Can you watch Reighan's performance at the 2023 Olympic Trials and say she's better?
Even the judges who sent her to Paris knew she would be ruined.
“All the judges said she was going to be absolutely smashed. [at the Olympics] “… She was actually brave because she knew it was going to be a tough fight,” Oceania qualifying judge Te Hiritanga Wepiha said. According to To the BBC.
She's terrible. I know it. You know it. Her judges know it. And yet the WDSF says she's the best in the world. This is straight out of the classic story.The Emperor's New Clothes.”
Don't believe what you see with your eyes and hear with your ears. You can't trust your senses. We know best. We'll tell you we're right. The emperor is not naked. You're a fool if you think he is. Joe Biden is great. In fact, better than ever. Men can take part in women's boxing. Rachel Gunn is the best dancer of all time!
Give me a break.
