© Getty Images
Every time the Olympic Games come around, photographers from all over the world crowd to stadiums and arenas to capture the perfect photo. And while there have been some incredibly impressive pictures from the Olympics this year, there have also been some hilarious ones that will put a smile on anyone’s face.
Australian B-girl Raygun has become an internet sensation since her performance at the first-ever Olympic breaking competition on Friday, August 9. The 36-year-old university lecturer was knocked out of the competition in the first round after failing to score a single point, but has nonetheless become the most famous of her competitors.

They included a kangaroo hop, a backward roll, and various contortions she pulled while crawling around on the ground.
