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.
