Raygun: Major twist in Olympic Games controversy that will mean we will see MORE of Australian's widely-ridiculed moves after Paris disaster

Legendary breaker Samson Smith has lifted the lid on Raygun's dancing background after making a surprise admission about the Australian's infamous performance at the Olympic Games 

Raygun, whose real name  is Rachael Gunn, has copped severe backlash after scoring zero in the inaugural female competition over the weekend, with clips of her routine going viral for all the wrong reasons on social media.

The married university lecturer, 36,  has been a target of criticism by armchair experts and keyboard warriors for not only her performance but her appearance on social media and in some mainstream media.

The backlash has even prompted Australian Olympic Chef de mission Anna Meares and later Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to voice their support for Raygun.

The Raygun controversy continues to dominate headlines, overshadowing Australia's best ever result at the Olympics 

But Smith of Australian breaking group Justice Crew believes Raygun's legendary moves will live on, insisting he will incorporate them into his routines. 

'Oh we're definitely going to put that in,' he said on The Project when asked if he will emulate Raygun's kangaroo move.

'I've seen her battle, I've seen her win and I've seen her lose. Watching her at the Olympics... that's just her. That's her style, she wins and she loses. She lost all points, which is totally fine for us. We go into a battle, we win, we lose, that's it.'

Reflecting on the backlash, Smith said:  'To see her go like viral, and it's still viral, the way everybody is still talking about her... and it is a big disappointment because they are not talking about the winners. 

'They're not talking about the gold medallists, the silver medallists, the bronze... they are all talking about Raygun's memes and they have not even seen her full set. 

'They are just watching her memes and they are judging off those slow-downed moves, the sprinkler which is just her character.

'That is just personality, that is her character, and the general public is just laughing about it. The memes everybody is coming up with is crazy. 

'At the end of the day she is a human being coming out to show their creativity.'

The Australian public has been divided over Raygun's participation in the competition as Australia's representative. 

She is currently the nation's No 1 female breakdancer and earnt her place through the qualification process, but one social media account titled @MadhokNeha claimed that the breaking setup disadvantages certain communities in Australia.

'There are incredible dancers in places like Western Sydney (just one example) where black and brown people are honing their skills and their craft in arenas not recognised by establishment institutions,' she said. 

'This is a reflection on the whiteness of Australian sport, and of Australian attitudes. We could have sent incredible people, the talent is absolutely there, but you have to go to where people are.'

However, others commended Raygun for giving it her best shot.

'Props to Raygun for having the guts to go out there,' one social media user suggested. 'But this was the most second hand embarrassment I've ever felt.' 

'Raygun from Australia is my Olympic hero actually,' another added. 

Shortly after her performance on the world stage, Raygun broke her silence by sharing a cryptic message on Instagram.

Reposting a message from the 'Breaking for Gold' account, she quoted herself saying: 'Don't be afraid to be different. Go out there and represent yourself, you never know where that's gonna take you.'
