Fans were shocked after Australian breakdancer Rachael “Raygun” Gunn lost all three of her group matches in the first breakdancing tournament at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Video shows Gunn, wearing a vibrant green and yellow tracksuit, circle the stage to the sound of steel drums as she launched into a series of moves — including one called “the kangaroo.” Gunn brought herself to the floor, where she stopped in several awkward poses before dragging herself across the ground with her arms.

Gunn lost to competitors from the U.S., France and Lithuania, according to the New York Post. The 36-year-old Australian did not receive a single vote from the judges, losing each match 18-0. Judges based scoring on factors including technique, execution, musicality and originality.

Multiple social media users pounced on Gunn’s performance with memes and mockery.

“This is the only thing the world is going to remember Australia for at the 2024 Olympics. Hilarious,” Ian Miles Chong wrote on X, posting an edited video of Gunn’s performance with Seinfeld theme music.

“This is Rachael Gunn, she has a PhD in cultural movement and convinced Australia to pay for her trip to the Paris Olympics,” another user wrote. “She participated in breakdancing and got 0 points.”

“Aussie break dancer Rachael ‘Raygun’ Gunn has to be trolling the entire world,” a third user commented.

The Olympic Committee let participants wear their own uniforms — which were submitted for review beforehand — to the competition, the outlet noted. (RELATED: Olympics Takes Down Opening Ceremony Videos Starring Drag Queens Mocking Christianity)

“Looking forward to the same level of scrutiny on what the b-boys wear tomorrow,” Gunn wrote on Instagram Friday.

Some social media users were more amused by Gunn’s outfit, which stood out among the attire of other contestants.

“Australia did B-Girl Raygun dirty with this ugly as sin outfit. Looking like she’s gonna ask if I want fries with that,” one X user remarked.

“Meanwhile Japanese Twitter is roasting Raygun because her outfit looks like the uniform of a Japanese courier company, yet she lost to Logistix,” another user chimed in.

Gunn has a PhD in Cultural Studies and a bachelor’s in Contemporary Music, according to the New York Post.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
