US rapper Snoop Dogg, who was a constant presence throughout the sporting bonanza in Paris, has shared his views on the memes that have materialised after Raygun’s showing.

Raygun did not return to Australia with her fellow Olympians on Wednesday, with the breakdancer choosing to go on holiday in Europe with her husband and coach Samuel Free.
Aussie champion Jessica Fox said the hate Gunn received following her ‘interpretive’ breakdancing performance had severely impacted her.
‘I did speak to her; it is devastating for her,’ she told the Sydney Morning Herald.
‘To see the toll … she is human and it is massive what she has been through over the last week. She has definitely been feeling it.
‘There is a human behind all that, and people are so quick to be awful. She doesn’t deserve that.’

The Australian team did their best to support Gunn through the wave of hate with clips emerging of the teammates dancing alongside the breakdancer before the Games’ closing ceremony.
‘It was special for us to be able to rally around her at the closing ceremony, and show our appreciation to her as a valued member of our team,’ Fox said.
Several other Aussie Olympians have been vocal of their support for Gunn including Swimmer Zac Stubblety-Cook.
He described the criticism as ‘disappointing’ and said it was ‘bloody awesome’ to see Gunn smiling during the ceremony.
Gunn has been the subject of countless memes and online videos ridiculing her Olympic performance.
However, that negativity has also manifested in the form of accusations she was undeserving of being on the Olympic team and purposely lost the competition for the sake of an academic study.
The criticism of Gunn’s performance even made its way onto TV with late night host Jimmy Fallon using his Tonight Show to savagely mock her.
Fallon played a clip of Gunn’s performance before comedian Rachel Dratch entered the stage to mimic the routine.
