If a line from an upcoming Netflix documentary on Raygun<\/a> is anything to go by, the controversial Aussie breakdancer\u2019s therapist could now be in therapy themselves.<\/p>\n

Netflix on Thursday morning released a trailer for an upcoming documentary on Raygun \u2013 real name Rachael Gunn \u2013 and her journey from academic to Olympian<\/a> to internet meme.<\/p>\n

\u201cRight before the Olympics I went to my therapist, panicked. She was like, \u2018what\u2019s the worst that could happen?\u2019,\u201d Gunn said in the clip.<\/p>\n

\u201c(I said) \u2018the world could laugh at me\u2019. She\u2019s like \u2018do you think that\u2019s reasonable?\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

Indeed, her infamous performance<\/a> \u2013 featuring kangaroo hops, John Howard-esque Australia tracksuit and other contortions \u2013 failed to register even a single point with judges. The global reaction overshadowed the achievements of any other athlete.<\/p>\n

According to the streaming giant, Untold Raygun: Breaking Badly will \u201ctake viewers inside the rise, fall, and reinvention\u201d of Raygun, \u201cwho ignited a global firestorm following her 2024 Olympic debut\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut as her performance at the games went viral overnight, so did an avalanche of memes, misinformation, and conspiracy theories questioning how she ever got there\u201d.<\/p>\n

In February, Gunn took a voluntary redundancy from Macquarie University<\/a>\u2019s Faculty of Arts.<\/p>\n

She had been there since completing her undergraduate degree more than a decade ago.<\/p>\n

Her significant research included papers titled \u201cNocturnal Paradox: How Breakdancing reveals the potentials of the night\u201d, \u201cRe-articulating Gender Norms through breakdancing\u201d and \u201cThe \u2018systems of relay\u2019 in doing cultural studies: experimenting with the \u2018Body without Organs\u2019 in b-girling practice.\u201d<\/p>\n

The documentary will be released on September 1.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If a line from an upcoming Netflix documentary on Raygun is anything to go by, the controversial Aussie…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":853247,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[64,63,134],"class_list":["post-853246","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/853246","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=853246"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/853246\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/853247"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=853246"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=853246"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=853246"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
