Raygun is officially the number one ranked female breaker in the world. The World DanceSport Federation (WDSF) recently updated its rankings, and we were shocked to see Rachel ‘Raygun’ Gunn at the top of the list with 1,000 points. This places her ahead of B-Girl Riko from Japan (1,000 points) and B-Girl Stefani from Ukraine (750 points). However, it’s likely her time at the top of the list will be short-lived after she announced in a recent interview that she’s stepping away from competitions “for a while.”
B-Girl Stefani or B-Girl Riko will likely claim the top spot if they’re to compete (and score) at the upcoming BfG World Series in Shanghai on 19th October 2024.
Raygun took the lead after the WDSF added the 1,000 points she claimed after winning the WDSF Oceania Championship, which was the event that sent her to the Olympic games.

We hope this is the last time we have to write the words “Raygun,” and all signs indicate this. While rumoured to be a shoo-in for the next season of Channel 10’s “I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!” according to sources at New Idea magazine, the Kangaroo-impersonator has told The Project that she’s taking a step back from competitions.
“I don’t think I’ll be competing for a while. Not really wanting to be in the spotlight, breaking, competing,” she said. “It’s been nice. It’s been a bit of a process to try and start dancing again. Like, that’s actually been tough. You know, it was my medicine, and then it turned into my source of stress.”
“So, I’m really happy that it gets to go back to being my medicine. I can kind of finally feel free again. I’m looking forward to breaking, but, no, I don’t think I’ll compete for a while.”
For now, Rachel ‘Raygun’ Gunn has her eyes set on internet stardom. Not only has she signed with influencer marketing agency Born Bred Talent, but she’s been spotted at dinner with Boy George, and on Richard Branson’s Virgin Voyages cruise ship. Not that that’s much of a flex, we had a chance to spar with the billionaire.
