The world needs more Rayguns .

Yesterday, the entireinternet became obsessedwith a 36-year-old college professor and professional breaker named Raygun.

Her unorthodox dancing, filled with original moves, dominated the timeline. I truly cannot get enough of it.

She may have lost all of her matches, but she lives on as one of the main characters of the games.

The memes are everywhere:

I ’d wish to in person give thanks Raygun for making millions of people worldwide think " huh , maybe I can make the Olympics too"pic.twitter.com / p5QlUbkL2w

And now, she’s commenting on her performance.

“I was never going to beat these girls on what they do best, the dynamic and the power moves, so I wanted to move differently, be artistic and creative because how many chances do you get in a lifetime to do that on an international stage,“she said after the competition.

“I was always the underdog and wanted to make my mark in a different way.”

And that she certainly did.

As this person said, “Raygun is living her dream and spreading joy and laughter around the world. She definitely wasn’t on my 2024 Bingo card but is exactly what the world needs right now.”
