Rachael ‘Raygun’ Gunn has announced her retirement from competitive breaking following the backlash she faced after her performance at the Paris Olympics. The 37-year-old Australian athlete, who became a prominent figure during the 2024 Games, found her debut in the sport met with a mix of viral attention and widespread criticism. In her statement, Gunn expressed that continuing to compete in the face of such scrutiny felt overwhelmingly challenging. Despite the support she received from some fans, the negative reactions online overshadowed her achievements, leading her to step away from the competitive scene.

Brennan Johnson has chosen to let his performance on the pitch speak for itself following a wave of social media abuse. The forward has been in sensational form, scoring in six consecutive matches since Tottenham's defeat to Arsenal. After facing online harassment post the loss to their arch-rivals in September, Johnson decided to deactivate his Instagram account. Since then, he has made a remarkable comeback, finding the net in each of his last six games for Tottenham. His teammate Ben Davies has commended Johnson for his impressive response, highlighting how the young forward has focused on his game rather than the negativity online. Johnson is now set to start for Wales in their upcoming Nations League match against Iceland, continuing to build on his scoring streak.
