Olympics: The Olympics debuted a new sport today and Australia's entrant became the laughing stock of the world after a brutal debut.
Fox SportsAustralian cult hero Rachael ‘Raygun’ Gunn was given a guard of honour by her fellow Olympians ahead of Sunday’s Closing Ceremony in Paris.
Fellow Australian breaker Jeff ‘J-Attack’ Dunne, who participated in the men’s competition on Sunday,“All I know is she represented hard, she has been the leading breaker in Australia for the women and I acknowledge her and respect her 100 per cent,” Dunne said. “One hundred years ago, leading into Paris in 1924, Australia sent a team of 37 athletes and none were women.“One hundred years later, we have 256 women represented here. And Raygun is an absolutely loved member of this Olympic team.
