Australian Olympic breaking competitor Rachael 'Raygun' Gunn has attracted the eyes of the world with her unique moves at the sport's Olympic debut in Paris over the weekend.
The 36-year-old university professor's routine failed to gain a single point in the round-robin stage of the competition, and prompted a social media backlash from people expecting a more 'skilled' performance.

However, Ms Gunn's colleagues have come to her defence, and the Aussie team gave her a guard of honour through the streets of Paris on Sunday in which she did her now infamous 'kangaroo' break-dance move.
It seems we all love an underdog, and the backlash has now turned to admiration on social media, with many being inspired to give the Australian breaker's routine a go in their own lounge rooms.

But imagine if they had a dance studio to practice their moves? Though breaking will not be included at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, there's still a hope that it might be back for the Brisbane 2032 games.
