(CNN) – Australian break dancer Raygun is now ranked as the No. 1 breaker in the world, despite failing to score any points across her Paris Olympics battles.

Videos of her unconventional performance went viral and was widely mocked, but look who’s laughing now.

The 37-year-old has claimed the top spot in the latest women’s rankings released by the sport’s governing body.

She won the gold medal at last year’s World Dance Sport Federation Oceania Championships, securing 1,000 ranking points and vaulted her to first place.

The WDSF said its rankings are updated based on each athlete’s top four performances within the past 12 months.

Points earned in the competitions remain valid for 52 weeks from the date of the event.
