Raygun reveals her VERY surprising next move after breakdancing disaster at the Paris Olympics

Australian breakdancer Rachel Gunn has revealed her next move after her viral performance at the Paris Olympics.

Despite hanging out with billionaires like Richard Branson and pop stars like Boy George, the 37-year-old Olympian, known as Raygun, will return to her job in Sydney.

In addition to breakdancing, Raygun is a lecturer and researcher at Macquarie University in the Department of Media, Communications and Creative Arts.

On Tuesday, the university confirmed that she would resume teaching next week.

The dancer landed back Down Under on Monday after being controversially named the world's best breakdancer by the World Dance Sport Federation.

This comes as the viral sensation appears to have experienced a new resurgence after her time in the spotlight.

The dancer showed off her sun-tanned skin and wrinkle-free complexion as she landed in Australia.

In her baggy jeans and a faded turquoise T-shirt, Raygun looked extremely cheerful as she strolled through the terminal.

Her brunette hair was straightened and tied back in a messy bun, while tortoiseshell sunglasses sat on her head.

The look was a world away from her Olympic breakdancing debut, where she wore the Australian team uniform and a pair of white New Balance sneakers.

Back then, her hair was wavy and styled in a short bob under her green and gold cap.

The controversial breakdancer became an instant meme with her routine at the Olympics, which became the most talked-about moment of the event.

Her unique moves, which included kangaroo hopping and sliding across the floor, did not benefit her in the competition and she faced a torrent of ridicule as she became a worldwide sensation.

Last week, Raygun gave her first television interview about the viral moment and appeared on “The Project” on Wednesday to talk about the ordeal with host Waleed Aly.

During the tell-all interview, Raygun persisted with her viral routine – blaming it on a “lack of resources” – before revealing that, in a surprise career move, she plans to retire from competitive sports.

She also admitted that she had not even watched her now infamous performance and attacked her critics, passionately claiming that they did not “understand” breakdancing.

After being accused of “mocking” breakdancing, Raygun hit back at her critics, claiming they didn't understand her “artistic” style and calling for more funding to be made available to the sport Down Under.

“Unfortunately, we in Australia just need more resources to have a chance of beating the world champions,” she said.

“You know, historically, unfortunately, we haven't had the best track record when it comes to winning world championships, so I don't think that's just me.”

“However, many of the reactions are simply due to people not being very familiar with breakdancing and the different approaches to it,” she continued.

“It was so fantastic that the chairman of the jury, MG, came out the next day and explained that what I had done was actually not very shocking in the breaking community.

“You know, it's just a different approach to breakdancing. There are the athletic style breakdancing techniques and there are also the more artistic style breakdancing techniques and all of them are very valid.”

She recently danced with Sir Richard Branson, who imitated her kangaroo move

Although her performance received widespread attention around the world, Raygun admitted that she did not watch it due to the strong reactions.

“No, I didn't rewatch it. But that's nothing unusual for me. I'm not good at rewatching my fights,” she said.

“It's going to take some time. I think I've seen a few bits and pieces already, but yes, I'll look at it at some point.”

Looking at any of her recent celebrity companions, Raygun's time in the spotlight doesn't seem to be ending after the Paris Olympics.

On Saturday morning Australian time, Virgin Group founder Richard Branson showed off some moves with the controversial artist while on a Virgin Voyages Celebration Voyage cruise in the Mediterranean.

Video footage shows Raygun being welcomed on stage to great cheers and talking about what she loves most about breakdancing.

“It's about relaxing, having fun and being yourself. And I just absolutely love that,” Raygun said.

The B-Girl then enters the dance floor before Branson joins her and does the infamous kangaroo hop move.

“Oh Richard, that was like three weeks ago, come on,” Raygun said, laughing.

Gunn spoke to the media for the first time this month in an extensive television interview on The Project
