Australian breaker Rachael “Raygun” Gunn holds the top spot in the World DanceSport Federation (WDSF) despite not obtaining a single point at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Gunn’s performance at the Paris Olympics sparked confusion, laughter, and ridicule across the globe. Comedy skits and memes immediately followed the quirky performance, in which the 37-year-old professor danced like a kangaroo and appeared to impersonate a garden sprinkler.
