Lose fat the Raygun way! Aussie breakdancer’s Olympic Games performance gets turned into a home workout routine
- An influencer has created a Raygun workout routine
- Australian breakdancer goes viral after Olympics
- She could inspire millions of people to lose weight
Rachael Gunn’s Olympic legacy could help millions of people lose weight after an influencer shared an at-home workout routine inspired by the Australian breakdancer.
Gunn, stage name Raygun, became the face of the Paris Olympics last weekend after her breakdancing performance at the first women’s event in France went completely wrong.
Raygun scored zero points in all three of her performances and became an overnight sensation. Fans flocked to social media to share their opinions on her unique moves, which included kangaroo jumping and imitating a snake.
The 36-year-old university lecturer has kept quiet since her viral post and is currently on holiday with her coach and husband Samuel Free, after making a surprise appearance at the closing ceremony.
But Raygun’s moves are sure to stay, as Facebook influencer Jezar Riches, who has over 300,000 followers on the platform, has revealed an at-home workout routine inspired by the academic.
The influencer performed the sprinkler and then rolled across the floor, mimicking Raygun’s moves.
“Good morning,” the message read. “I’m going to train with Olympic athlete Rachael Gunn.”
While Raygun’s performances in Australia continue to be divisive, the 36-year-old is expected to earn millions from her Olympic campaign.

Max Markson, a US-based marketing and public relations expert, said that while she remains a controversial figure in her home country, some of the world’s largest international companies are keen to capitalise on her fame.
“She has a huge brand,” he told Ny Breaking Australia.
‘Her reputation in Australia isn’t great, but she’s famous worldwide.
‘I don’t think everyone in other countries is aware of how Australians feel about her.
‘I think Australian marketers will avoid her for that reason, but I’m sure there’s someone in this country who will.
‘She receives international offers from sports shoe brands such as Adidas or Puma, from food companies such as McDonald’s or KFC, from electric cars such as BYD and from telephone companies such as Telstra, Optus or Vodafone.
“There will also be other international companies that want her.”

According to Mr Markson, new stars normally sign contracts with three to five companies.
According to Mr Markson, the cost of a sponsorship deal for American brands such as McDonald’s or KFC is around $500,000.
If Raygun can secure five contracts at that price, she could earn $2.5 million.
Mr Markson said her financial capabilities extend beyond just marketing big brands.
“She has a PhD, she has a real background, so she will also get speaking engagements. She is also attractive to children,” he said.
“People will want her on TV too, there will be a TV appearance for her in six months.”
