An underwater dancer has recreated Raygun’s infamous Olympic breaking routine and it’s really making a splash

The Paris Olympics was a feast of strength, grace and athleticism across many awe-inspiring events. And then there was Rachael Gunn – the B-girl known as Raygun.

The moves that launched a thousand memes will go down in Olympic history, but not in a way that Raygun would have liked. These posts show just the type of inspiration her routine has provided.

Former world champion synchronised swimmer Kristina Makushenko has taken Raygun’s catastrophe and turned it into a triumph – underwater.

Ole girl literally did Raygun’s whole routine underwater and in heels and made it look like something that should actually win a gold medal.
