Unseen footage of a breakdancer who missed out on representing Australia at the 2024 Olympics to Raygun has people calling it 'rigged'.

Raygun - real name Rachael Gunn - went viral during the Paris Games following her routine in the women's breakdancing event.

Her routine, which included hopping like a kangaroo and writhing around on the floor like a snake, wasn't well received by Olympic judges as the Australian scored an embarrassing zero in each of her three heats and was eliminated from the competition.

The 36-year-old's participation at the Olympics was questioned, with an Australian official defending their decision to pick her.

To earn a spot at the Olympics, Raygun had to compete in the 2023 Oceania Breaking Championships, which she won.

In the final, she faced Molly Chapman, whose performance are now emerging on social media and people can't believe she wasn't picked to represent Team Australia.

A clip of her routine surfaced on X, accompanied with the caption: "This is Molly Chapman, the breakdancer who lost to Raygun in the qualifying event to compete at the Olympics. Go figure."

Needless to say, the video of Chapman, known as Holy Molly in the dance community, sent social media wild.

One X user wrote: "Must of been rigged."

A second said: "Not great but still 10000x better than 'Raygun'."

A third added: "Half her routine looks like what Raygun tried to do but couldn’t actually execute."

A fourth commented: "She can actually breakdance, how did she lose?"

Another fumed: "How did she lose to Raygun?! It absolutely must have been rigged this woman has more elements than Raygun in a shorter period of time my lord."
