Australian professional breakdancer Raygun has decided to hang up her sneakers and retire following the intense backlash she received over her performance at the Paris Olympics in August. After busting some breakdance moves that left many with second and third-hand embarrassment, Raygun went viral with millions around the world watching. According to her, that “level of scrutiny” just isn’t worth competing anymore. “And it will go online. It’s just not going to mean the same thing, and it’s not going to be the same experience because of everything that’s at stake,” said Raygun–real name Rachel Gunn–during an interview with Australia’s 2DayFM on the Jimmy and Nath Show. “I was going to keep competing, for sure, but that seems really difficult for me to do now—to approach a battle. Yeah, I mean I still dance, and I still break. But, you know, that’s like in my living room with my partner.”
