Saturday Night Live star Chloe Fineman has taken to TikTok to parody the viral routine of Australian B-Girl Olympian Rachel Gunn, also known as Raygun. Gunn, a 36-year-old former ballroom dancer and cultural studies professor at Macquarie University in Sydney, represented Australia in the debut of breaking at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Her unconventional moves, including prancing and kangaroo-like hops, left her without a single point in the competition but gained significant attention online.
Fineman, known for her spot-on impressions, donned a similar green and yellow tracksuit and recreated some of Gunn’s “creative” moves in a humorous video. The comedian’s parody quickly garnered attention, with Fineman captioning her post, “All hail RAYGUN. Girl hopped like a kangaroo and ate???”
Gunn, who has faced both criticism and praise for her unique routine, acknowledged that her approach was different from the more traditional power moves of her competitors. “I was never going to beat these girls on what they do best — their power moves. What I bring is creativity,” Gunn told the Associated Press. Despite not scoring in the competition, she remained positive about her Olympic experience, telling Yahoo Sports, “It was amazing. Such an amazing experience. What a stage, what an arena, what a crowd. Music was great. Like, oh, so, so grateful for the opportunity.”
