A judge at the Paris Olympics has explained why Australian breakdancer Raygun received a grand total of zero points for her unique performance.
The Paris 2024 Games saw the introduction of breakdancing as a competitive event for the first time ever, with athletes from around the world descending on the French capital to show off their best power moves.
However, the event has since gone viral for all the wrong reasons.
Unless you've been living under a rock - or spent the last couple of weeks with no internet connection - you'll be more than aware of who Australian breakdancer Raygun is.
Raygun, AKA Sydney university lecturer Rachael Gunn, failed to impress the judges with her kangaroo hopping, leaving the competition without scoring a single point - and becoming the face of a brutal wave of memes online.

Now a judge from the breakdancing event has weighed in on Gunn's brutal score, explaining that the 36-year-old was just 'not as high as the other competitors'.
Expressing sympathy with Gunn over the reaction she's received, judge MGbility said: "I feel personally very sorry."
"The breaking and hip hop community definitely stands behind her. She was just trying to bring something new, something original and something that represents her country," he told News Corp.
"We stay with her. We have five criteria in the comparative judging system. Just her level was maybe not as high as the other competitors.
"Again, we're using a comparative judging system. Her competitors were just better but it doesn't mean that she did really bad. She did her best."
MGbility - real name Martin Gilian - went on to add that he believed Gunn's moves were representative of her country, saying: "She was representing Australia and Oceania and did her best.
"She won the Oceania qualifier officially. If some people are wondering how she got into the Olympic Games, she qualified from her region.
"Unfortunately for her, the other b-girls were better. That's why she didn't score any votes in her rounds."

Speaking about her Olympic performance, Gunn said: "All my moves are original. Creativity is really important to me. I go out there and I show my artistry.
"Sometimes it speaks to the judges, and sometimes it doesn’t. I do my thing, and it represents art. That is what it is about."
It has also been revealed that Gunn's mental health is being monitored, following the online reaction to her routine.
Meanwhile it has since been confirmed that the breakdancing category will not be returning for a second run at the Los Angeles 2028 Games.
However anyone wanting to dust off their rest kangaroo hops may have a chance in eight years time, as the World DanceSport Federation is hoping the sport could make a comeback for Brisbane '32.

"Our campaign to be added to Brisbane 2032 has already begun and is being ably led by our first vice-president and resident Australian Tony Tilenni," WDSF President Shawn Tay said in a statement.
"Initial reactions from all participants to the breaking presentations, including Brisbane officials at the Australian Olympic Committee’s one year to go to Paris 2024 celebrations, have been highly optimistic about our chances of being added to these Games."

One twist to her nipple is all it takes to activate her breakdance.
In regards to the Australian break dancer If you don't know who her husband is, look him up. His name is Samuel Free. He was the judge in the qualifying contests she 'won'. Also the coach of the national team and the team selector. She didn't get a run on merit, she got a taxpayer funded holiday through pure entitlement at the expense of other athletes who would have had a much better 'crack.
Why is she slamming it? She's probably a big part of the the decision. Her husband, Samuel Free, is the coach of the national team and the team selector. She didn't win her spot through merit, she got a taxpayer funded holiday.
The worst part is somewhere in Australia is an actual talented dancer that could have had a life changing experience. Instead, Australia sent her.

That's why it's viewership is decreasing. Too many sports. Football/ hockey for example should not be included as it costs too much to organise needing many stadiums.
