Gunn suffered ridicule and false rumors after her Paris Olympics performance. AdvertisementThe Olympic breakdancer Rachael "Raygun" Gunn is retiring from the sport after facing a barrage of online hate and misinformation. The 37-year-old Australian became a laughing stock this summer after her viral Paris Olympics performance, which included moves that were compared to a kangaroo hopping and the dancing of a child. Speaking at her concert in Munich in August, Adele said Gunn's performance was her "favorite thing that's happened in the Olympics." "Having that Olympic stamp for any sport changes the game of play," Born Barikor, the chair of the UK organisation Breaking GB, told Fortune.

☆ The first combined IHOP-Applebee’s restaurant in the US will soon open in Texas

That will soon become a reality in Texas with a new restaurant that unites the two chains under the same roof. Dine Brands, which owns the two restaurants, announced that the combined Applebee’s-IHOP restaurant will open approximately 35 miles west of San Antonio early next year, marking the first time the company has brought the concept to the United States. Plans for the dual-branded restaurant were announced earlier this year as part of Dine Brand’s plan to grow the two restaurants, which both reported lackluster earnings Wednesday. The idea is to maximize revenue with the same footprint of a traditional restaurant. That’s because the two restaurants’ menus encompass all parts of the day (pancakes and eggs Benedict for breakfast and steak and wings for dinner) and will have staff trained to work with both.

Our NFL writers addressed these topics and more in making one prediction for every team heading into the season’s second half. The fourth-year back is on pace to finish with 1,256 yards, which would be the fourth-highest total in team history. Every other NFL team has put a player in at least one of those categories during that stretch — and most teams have checked both boxes. Minnesota has one of the most productive defenses in the NFL and an offense loaded at the skill positions. And the Eagles have managed to win games despite bad luck and bad decisions.

Rachael "Raygun" Gunn has announced that her professional break dancing career is over, citing the online reaction to her Paris Olympics performance. The Australian dancer — who went viral for her unorthodox performance at the 2024 Olympic Games — said that while she still breaks, she's not going to compete anymore. She was awarded zero points at the Olympics, leading many to wonder how she qualified for the Games to begin with. As videos of her performances went viral, so did conspiracy theories about her entry into the competition. While her competitive days may be behind her, Gunn seems to have found another way to keep her love for breaking alive.

Former President Donald Trump has won the critical swing state of Michigan, NBC News projects, netting the Republican 15 Electoral College votes over Vice President Kamala Harris. Michigan has been one of the nation’s most hotly contested battlegrounds since it helped Trump pull off a surprise victory in 2016. No Democrat has won the White House without Michigan since Jimmy Carter in 1976. Hillary Clinton in 2016 became the first Democratic presidential nominee to lose Michigan in decades, when Trump edged her out by just 10,704 votes. Trump’s victory this year will likely ensure that the state remains a key battleground going forward.

That’s why Trump, who closely follows the stock market and obsessed over it as president, should be nervous about the recent trend on Wall Street. If the market goes down, the incumbent party gets replaced,” Stovall told CNN in a phone interview Monday. Market indicator was right in 2016 and 2020Vice President Kamala Harris should feel relieved the market has seen solid gains. In 2016, the S&P 500 dipped 2.2% in the lead-up to Trump’s matchup with the Democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton. Yet there’s another market indicator that offers a reason for hope for the Harris camp.
