Raygun and Australian officials speak out against hate' over Olympic breaking
Briefly

Rachael Gunn, who competes as Raygun, spoke out on Instagram starting with sending thanks to those who have supported her. I really appreciate the positivity and I'm glad I was able to bring some joy into your lives. That's what I hoped. I didn't realize that that would also open the door to so much hate, which has frankly been pretty devastating.
Gunn became a flashpoint in the final weekend of the Paris Games, after she broke out a host of unorthodox moves against the world's best breakdancers. Images of her moving like a kangaroo, a snake and a sprinkler quickly became memes. Comedian Rachel Dratch even impersonated the Australian during Jimmy Fallon's monologue to open The Tonight Show.
