Viral Breakdancer Raygun Faces Career Setback After Olympic Performance
Rachael Gunn, known as Raygun, an Australian breakdancer who gained fame during the 2024 Summer Olympics, has lost her job at Macquarie University. Gunn became a viral sensation after her Olympic performance, which scored zero points and was widely mocked online. Despite her academic achievements, including a Ph.D. on the gender politics of Sydney's breaking culture, Gunn was included in a round of redundancies at the university. The decision comes amid financial pressures on Australian universities due to declining international student numbers. Gunn's Olympic performance also drew criticism from political figures questioning the value of taxpayer-funded academic courses.
