In 'the interview everyone wants', Olympics star Raygun will finally speak out and explain to the world just why she is Australia's best breakdancer.

At the Paris 2024 Olympics it was the first time fans were blessed to see breakdancing introduced as a sport at the Games... and it didn't disappoint, thanks to Dr Rachael Gunn - aka Raygun.

No, she didn't pick up her doctorate in the sport but as a lecturer in the Department of Media, Communications, Creative Arts, Language and Literature at Macquarie University Faculty of Arts, Sydney.

Her performance was hailed as 'hilariously ridiculous' by viewers and the Australian competitor went on to receive a score of zero from the judges.

One of those on the panel has since spoken out about her trailblazing showing - which would have been a hard act to follow in terms of the crowd getting behind her.

Breakdancing judge MGbility told News Corp: "I feel personally very sorry. The breaking and hip hop community definitely stands behind her.

"She was just trying to bring something new, something original and something that represents her country.

Adding: "Again, we're using a comparative judging system. Her competitors were just better but it doesn't mean that she did really bad. She did her best."

Raygun went viral for her original performance and the 37-year-old is set to speak later today (September 4) on Australia's Channel 10 in a tell-all interview.

A teaser for the Wednesday night episode on The Project showed host Waleed Aly asking her: "Do you genuinely think you are the best female breaker in Australia?"

Raygun replies: "Well, I think my record speaks to that."

You've got to applaud the confidence.

Her act involved her jumping like a kangaroo and slithering like a snake, and while she lost all of her battles to nil, Yahoo Lifestyle has claimed an insider for broadcasters in Australia TV believes networks may be fighting over her.

Great news for fans of the now-global star as it would mean we'll see more of the now iconic dancer.

Its source said: "The future of one of the world's most talked about Australians, Raygun, is currently being negotiated with multiple TV offers.

"They are looking for exclusive-network-deals that could be 12 to 24 months long, blocking out other opportunities from competing programming."
