Australian breaker Rachael Gunn, or B-girl Raygun, holds the top spot in her sport's latest world rankings despite Olympic performances that led to online ridicule.

On Tuesday, breakdancing's governing body issued a statement to «provide clarity» on why Raygun tops the rankings. Raygun, a 37-year-old university lecturer from Sydney, failed to score any points at the Paris Olympics in routines that included a «kangaroo» dance.

The World DanceSport Federation said the ranking methodology is based on each athlete's top four performances within the past 12 months — but excludes Olympic events including the Paris Games and Olympic qualifier series events in Shanghai and Budapest.

Additionally, no ranking events were held between December 2023 and the Olympics — to allow athletes to focus on qualification.
