Rachael ‘Raygun’ Gunn has drawn streams of online criticism for her performance in Paris.

THE AUSTRALIAN OLYMPIC Committee on Thursday decried what it said was a “vexatious, misleading and bullying” petition targeting Paris breakdancing sensation Raygun .

The committee called the Change.org poll, which has garnered 47,000 signatures demanding a public apology from the dancer, “vexatious, misleading and bullying” and demanded it be immediately withdrawn. Gunn’s kangaroo-mimicking moves and slightly passe green Australia-logoed tracksuit have even been parodied worldwide, including by late-night US television host Jimmy Fallon.
