Raygun has been named the number one breakdancer in the world despite her performance at the Olympics resulting in zero points.
Rachael Gunn, who performed under the stage name Raygun, gained widespread attention for her routine in Paris, particularly for a move dubbed the "kangaroo dance," which quickly went viral.
Despite her efforts, Gunn failed to score any points in the competition and was met with intense criticism, including parodies of her performance on U.S. late-night television.
Online detractors have accused the organizers of the Oceania qualifying event, held in Sydney last October, of bias, suggesting the event was set up to favor Gunn and questioning the judging that led to her qualification, per Sky News.
The backlash reached a new level with a petition signed by over 50,000 people criticizing Gunn's participation.
In response, Australian Olympic officials condemned the petition, labeling it "misleading and bullying.
"
Well, it seems that Gunn may have had the last laugh, as she has now been named as the world's number-one breakdancer.
The 37-year-old arrived back in Sydney to the news that she had claimed the coveted number-one spot in the World DanceSport Federation (WDSF) rankings, as reported by the New York Post.
