Olympian Raygun Announces Retirement From Competitive Breaking

Rachael ‘Raygun’ Gunn has announced her retirement from competitive breaking.

The Olympian made the announcement on 2DayFM on Thursday, saying the reaction to her performance at Paris 2024 led to her decision.

"I still break, but I don't compete. I'm not going to compete any more. No. No," Gunn said.

"I was going to keep competing, for sure, but that seems really difficult for me to do now to approach a battle.

"It's been really upsetting. I just didn't have any control over how people saw me or who I was," Gunn said.

"Dancing is so much fun, and it makes you feel good. I don't think people should feel crap about the way that they dance.

"If you get out there, and you have fun on the dance floor, then just own it."
