Australian breakdancer Rachael “Raygun” Gunn has announced her retirement from competition, citing a “really upsetting” backlash following her performance at the Paris Olympics.
Raygun, 37, became something of a global laughing stock after her unorthodox routine, including kangaroo hops and imitating a sprinkler, failed to impress the judges at the games.
Her moves were copied on late-night talk shows and her unfashionable green tracksuit was mercilessly parodied online.
Gunn told Sydney radio she was still breaking but not competing.
