There were very many funny responses to the viral clip of Raygun the Olympian breaker, but Aldi’s was – well, peak Aldi
If you’ve spent any time at all online over the past few days, you’ll be familiar with Rachael Gunn, or Raygun, whose zero-scoring breaking routine at the Olympics has sent her wildly viral.
This is Rachael Gunn, she has a PhD in cultural movement and convinced Australia to pay for her trip to the Paris Olympics.
She participated in break dancing and got 0 points.

To add insult to injury, the jokes simply wouldn’t stop coming.

Aldi, which has a very good social media team, entered the chat with this very Aldi take.

We’re not sure we should be rewarding Susan’s forgetfulness, to be honest.
And it's a Gold for Susan

There were some words of comfort for Raygun.
My dad once took a day off to watch me miss 48 out of 50 free throws in a state-wide Catholic free throw contest. I feel you, Raygun. https://t.co/x8tmumOn8D

And isn’t this really the bottom line?
Raygun is living her dream and spreading joy and laughter around the world. She definitely wasn’t on my 2024 Bingo card but is exactly what the world needs right now pic.twitter.com/Gd4PV0dv34
