A Average Woman From Australia Dominated the Olympics

Rachel Gunn also known as Raygun, a woman with a PHD in cultural dancing stole the glory after competing in the Olympics. You may think she’s an average woman, but she’s been dancing as a child, and graduated in 2017 in cultural studies, focused on “the intersection of gender and Sydney’s breaking culture”, which may explain the odd style she has. She did jazz and ballroom dancing, she never touched breakdancing until her husband told her to try, because he was a break-dancer.

The news made bigger headlines than any gold Olympian. It robbed them of the glory, and people criticized her for her actions. People did not like that she had subpar capabilities, and somehow she made it into the Olympics, something that many athletes would give up their youth for.

How She did it?

Most normal people would give up on trying for the Olympics, because they don’t want to experience the imposter syndrome, but that didn’t bother Raygun. She had confidence in her dance style, she’s been doing this style of breakdancing way before she attempted the Olympics. Here is a video of her qualifying attempt.

Watch it while it’s still available because the Olympics are trying to make her disapear.

The Olympics is Trying to Silence her

While researching for Raygun, I found that any clip regarding her performance in the Olympics is removed from Youtube. Most likely because the Olympic organization made a mistake letting this unqualified athlete in the games, it would paint a bad look on them. They made no upload of her, and her videos are being deleted in multiple platforms to protect the Olympic image. I found a video of her performing with edits to protect the video, but it could be gone anytime.

Aftermath

Raygun took part in dancing to the closing ceremony

That and she is back home making Tiktoks with influencers generating millions of views and some hundred thousands of likes.

Key Takeaway

Just Try, most people will look at a big opportunity and fail themselves because they don’t believe they can make it. This is literally the definition of “fake it till you make it.” She barely performed at a subpar level and yet she is able to compete at the world’s biggest athletic event, and with this, she technically became the Best female breaker in Australia.
