Australian breakdancing sensation Rachael ‘Raygun’ Gunn has been immortalized as a Christmas decoration.
Raygun, 37, went viral after her unique performances at the Paris Olympics earlier this year, which saw the academic, 36, hopping like a kangaroo and wriggling across the floor like a snake.
She went on to score zero points in all three of her fights, but that didn’t stop her from gaining worldwide fame.
Now an American company has paid tribute to the controversial break dancer by turning some of her signature dance moves into Christmas decorations.
Laser engraver from Dallas That laser shop has made an ornament of the Olympian in her green and gold jumpsuit.
One decoration shows the breakdancer in her famous crouching position while touching the top of her shoe.

Another Christmas bauble in the shape of an Olympic medal shows Raygun in different positions during her performance.
The engraving contains a message that reads: ‘2024. Fake it until you break it.”
The ornaments, available on That Laser Shop website, retail for $34 AUD.
The description of the product reads: ‘Whether you’re “Team Raygun” or not, there’s no denying that she was one of the most talked about people in 2024!’
The university lecturer has kept a low profile since her disastrous performance at the Olympic Games.
But she recently said she was heartbroken by the “devastating” online hate she received in the aftermath of the Games.
While some were in awe of the Olympic breakdancer, including music sensation Adele – who recently paused one of her shows to praise the New South Wales-born dancer – Raygun was criticized and criticized by many online.
Last month Raygun confirmed Sydney’s 2DayFM Jimmy & Nath for Breakfast that she no longer wants to participate and that she has ruled out a participation in the 2028 Olympic Games.

“It was really disturbing,” she said. “I just had no control over how people saw me or who I was.”
Raygun would remain the No. 1 female breakdancer in the world after the Games, but admits she is not interested in competing in Los Angeles in 2028.
“Say you’d go to the Olympics again in four years?” Nath said to the breaking star.
“No,” she replied, laughing. ‘Nooooo.’
When Raygun was asked if she would continue breaking, he replied, “I still break, but I don’t compete. I’m not going to compete anymore. No. No.’
