Absolute legend and undisputed best breaker in Australia, Rachel "Raygun" Raymond, announced on Thursday that she was retiring from the sport. https://www.news.com.au/sport/olymp...73f0bc5e1a1059f I don't know about you, but retirement after an Olypmic appearance for a 37 year old breakdancer seems like going out on top. She's got her whole life ahead of her and the world is her oyster. For a young breakdancer, there are so many things that can go wrong: Sprained knee, Getting so embarassed by a rival dancer that you have to leave town, getting shot, or developing a huge bump on the top of your skull from headspinning too much: https://www.livescience.com/health/surgery/man-developed-a-headspin-hole-after-years-of-breakdancing-case-report-says She's had the odds stacked against her, as a woman, as an actual professor and not in a hip-hop joke way like "Large Professor" or "Professor Funkensteen", and as an Australian. Pour one out for your girl tonight. Respect. Peace. Love. o7 (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Out of the four pillars, breakdancing is firmly second to last in terms of of popularity and I would hope all goons join me to congratulate Ray Gun on helping lift the profile.

Isn't raygun a professor of hip-hop studies who got too into her research and decided that she could do it better than the pros?

lol I watched most of the breakdancing in the Olympics. I was obsessed with the Olympics! And the Peacock app had every single event ready to go. I might have watched everything. Sadly breakdancing will not be in the LA 2028 Olympics, which makes ZERO sense IMO and I hope they can change that.
