Raygun releases Netflix documentary about her viral Olympic moment

Breakdancer Rachael Gunn released a Netflix documentary about her zero-point Paris Olympics performance.

Raygun, the Australian breakdancer who became an internet meme after scoring zero in breaking's Olympic debut at the Paris 2024 Summer Games, has released her Netflix documentary Untold: Raygun Breaking Badly.

The film follows Gunn's journey to the Games and the intense backlash after her unusual routine, which included a kangaroo hop, earned no points from judges. Gunn finished last in the competition and faced fierce online criticism.

Since the Games, she has stepped away from her job at Macquarie University and started earning money in new ways: a speaker booking website, personalised video messages on Cameo for around $94 each, and now the Netflix film.

Some have praised her for pushing through the backlash to tell her story; others have questioned whether she is cashing in on her notoriety.
