Raygun does another breaking routine as Aussie Olympic stars treat her like a cult hero at the closing ceremony

Raygun has resurfaced with her Australian teammates ahead of the Olympic Games closing ceremony. 

The Australian breakdancer, a 36-year-old married university lecturer called Rachael Gunn, has kept a low profile after her disastrous performance in the inaugural women's competition saw her make headlines for all of the wrong reasons.

But she joined her fellow Aussie Olympians in a heartwarming appearance at Sunday's closing ceremony, with video footage showing her showing off her iconic moves to huge ovation from her compatriots. 

She was also lifted onto a teammate's shoulders and mimicked her infamous kangaroo dance move that sent fans across the world into hysterics. 

A number of high-profile figures have come to Gunn's defence in the wake of her performance, including Australia prime minister Anthony Albanese, who credited her for putting her best foot forward during the routine.

'Raygun had a crack, good on her, and a big shout out to her,' he told reporters in Adelaide on Sunday.

'That is in the Australian tradition of people having a go. She's had a go representing our country, and that's a good thing.

'Whether they've won gold medals or just done their best, that's all we asked for. It's the participating that is really important.'
