Raygun, viral Australian Olympic breakdancer, ranked No. 1 in the world by sport's governing body

Australian Olympic breakdancer Rachael Gunn, who went viral during the Paris Games, was ranked number one in the world by the sport's governing body.

Australian Olympic breakdancer Rachael Gunn, who went viral during the Paris Games, was ranked number one in the world by the sport's governing body.

The World DanceSport Federation released its world ranking list, saying in a statement Tuesday that Gunn secured the top spot after she came in first place at the 2023 Oceania Continental Championships.

The ranking puzzled many people, some of whom took to social media to point out that the 37-year-old B-girl, who performs as Raygun, did not receive a single point from the Olympic judges.

"Raygun ranked world number one after Paris Olympics controversy — how funny is this? World no 1???!!!," one person wrote on X.

The federation clarified that the ranking is "updated based on each athlete’s top four performances within the past 12 months" and that the points earned in the competitions are valid for 52 weeks from the performance date.
