PARIS — One by one, the breakers emerged in baggy pants and bandanas, crop-tops and durags, tracksuits and backwards caps, oversize T's and classic hip-hop drip.

And then there was Rachael Gunn, B-girl Raygun, dressed in a standard Australian Olympian uniform, shirt tucked in like a 36-year-old college professor — because she is one.

“I didn't get the memo,” Gunn told Yahoo Sports, “that we weren't gonna rep our country colors. What's going on there?”

She said that, and plenty else, with a wry smile. She was fully aware that she looked, seemed and was out of place.
