Read previewRachael "Raygun" Gunn, the Australian breakdancer who earned notoriety at the Paris Olympics, has been named the world's No.1 female performer in the sport. To those who know Gunn through her much-mocked Olympics performance, the ranking will likely come as a surprise. As such, the World DanceSport Federation — the governing body that produces the ranking — issued an explanation to go along with the news. The ranking, the body explained, does not take into account scores notched up at the Paris Olympics, nor at their qualifying rounds. Mark Kolbe/Getty ImagesThe current WDSF world No.2, Japanese breaker Riko, also gained 1,000 points in a qualifying competition.

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. "Raygun ranked world number one after Paris Olympics controversy — how funny is this? The Paris Games as well as the Olympic qualifier events in Shanghai, China, and Budapest, Hungary, did not contribute to the ranking. "In alignment with the Olympic Qualification System, ranking events were intentionally not held between 31 December 2023 and the Olympic Games Paris 2024. Gunn defended her Olympic performance in a recent interview with the Australian current affairs show "The Project," saying that she wanted to "bring out some Australian moves and themes."

CNN —Australian breaker Rachael Gunn, the Olympian widely known as B-Girl Raygun who went viral after her performance at the Paris Games, is now ranked the No. The 37-year-old claimed the top spot in the latest women’s rankings released by the World DanceSport Federation (WDSF) – the governing body of breaking and other dancesports. However, she won the gold medal at the 2023 WDSF Oceania Championships, securing her 1,000 ranking points and vaulting her up to No. “In alignment with the Olympic Qualification System, ranking events were intentionally not held between 31 December 2023 and the Olympic Games Paris 2024. From our perspective, that was nothing really shocking.”Raygun became one of the stories of the Paris Games after her performances at La Concorde Urban Park.

Videos of her breaking went viral, drawing online ridicule and speculation as to whether the whole thing was a hoax. But Gunn was uncowed, re-enacting the kangaroo hop as she celebrated with fellow Australian Olympians ahead of the closing ceremony on Sunday. She also wore a green-and-yellow Australian Olympic tracksuit rather than the streetwear favored by her rivals. Amid the criticism, Gunn’s performance has also drawn an outpouring of support from the international breaking community and others who lauded her originality, including the Australian prime minister. The World DanceSport Federation, the international governing body for breaking, said it had offered her mental health support.

Gunn's time on the Olympic stage, however, was short-lived. The article examined how institutionalization in the Olympic games would impact the Australian breaking scene. Her now-husband, Samuel Free, introduced her to breaking in 2008 while they were at university, Gunn told The Sydney Morning Herald. Rachael "Raygun" Gunn competing at the 2024 Olympics in Paris.

Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games: What can we expect?

CNN —The Paris Games are over, the Olympic flame that hung suspended in a cauldron above the Jardins de Tuileries extinguished, and the Olympic flag handed over to Los Angeles for the 2028 Games. Now only a mere 1,432 days away, the LA Olympics begins on July 14, 2028 with its opening ceremony and will run until July 30. So, what can we expect from the Los Angeles Olympic Games in four years’ time? Los Angeles has already hosted two Olympics, in 1932 and 1984, leaving enough infrastructure in place that there won’t be any new permanent venues built for 2028, and athletes will be housed at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), instead of a purpose-built Olympic Village. Although it isn’t yet clear exactly where each and every sport will take place in Los Angeles, organizers have already announced some of their biggest venues.

Then, Kelce saw Oropeza's painting entitled “:13 seconds,” which depicted the dramatic finish to the Chiefs' game against Buffalo in 2022. “That right there,” Kelce told Oropeza, “looks familiar.”Oropeza's work has caught the attention of more than just Kelce in recent years. He's done commissions for Jarrod Dyson of the Kansas City Royals and the wife of former St. Louis Cardinals slugger Albert Pujols. “We are incredibly proud of our 60-plus-year connection to the Kansas City region,” Chiefs president Mark Donovan said in a statement. Those are just some of the small businesses that have benefited from what has become a robust Chiefs industry.
