News summary

Rachael Gunn, known as Raygun, has faced widespread criticism for her performance in the inaugural Olympic breaking event, where she scored zero points. Despite her unconventional and artistic approach, which she defended as a representation of creativity, many viewers questioned the difficulty of her routines. Supporters, including Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, praised her spirit, but critics, including political activist Neha Madhok, argued that her selection symbolizes a culture of 'whiteness' in Australian sports. Madhok highlighted the presence of talented dancers from diverse backgrounds who are overlooked by established institutions. In response to the backlash, Raygun showcased her moves in the Olympic Village, receiving both support and further criticism. She expressed disappointment over breaking's exclusion from the 2028 Olympics, calling the decision premature.
