Rachel Gunn, also widely known as B-girl Raygun, is an Australian break-dancer who recently placed top 1 in the world rankings by the World DanceSport Federation after she “failed to score any points across her Olympic battles,” which included her debut. Raygun’s debut happened at the 2024 Summer Olympics on August 9th, in La Concorde Urban Park, Paris, France. This is a reflection of Raygun’s journey, her challenges and rewards of breakdancing as a competitive sport, especially after it was introduced into the Olympics. Her growth on “how she bounced back from the setback and secured the top spot in global rankings” were highlighted. Although there were many obstacles, such as negative feedback and backlash, she was able to address and overcome all these challenges and focus on the positive sides. Overcoming an initial setback to achieve #1 in the world serves as a motivational story about dedication and perseverance. Breakdancing was never a competitive sport until recently. Seeing it in the Olympics revived a spark in me that once had a competitive spirit for dance. Dedication, motivation and passion were my biggest takeaways from this article. It concludes how if you have a strong drive for something you want to achieve in, there’s always a possibility for you to succeed.
