Viral Olympic breaker Rachael Gunn — AKA “Raygun” — is issuing a mea culpa to the entire community for all the backlash it faced following her Paris 2024 performance … saying despite the end results, she truly tried her best.
Raygun did a sit-down interview with “The Project” on Wednesday … where she addressed all the hoopla surrounding her infamous routine last month — including the not-so-nice reactions.
“It is really sad to hear those criticisms, and I am very sorry for the backlash that the community has experienced,” Raygun said. “But I can’t control how people react.”
Of course, many were quick to criticize the outing … with the overall message being Raygun singlehandedly set the sport back decades.
Raygun explained Australians are dealt a crappy hand when competing at the international level … because the country simply isn’t as up to speed with the rest of the field.
“Unfortunately, we just need some more resources in Australia for us to have a chance to be world champions,” she added.
“Historically, unfortunately, we haven’t had the best track record of winning world championships, so I don’t think that’s just on me.”
As for all the conspiracies surrounding how she got to the Olympics in the first place, Raygun insists she earned her spot fair and square.
