Australian breakdancing sensation Rachael ‘Raygun’ Gunn has been immortalized as a Christmas decoration.
Raygun, 37, went viral following her one-off performances at the Paris Olympics earlier this year, with the academic, 36, jumping like a kangaroo and writhing on the ground like a snake.
He scored zero points in his three battles, but that has not stopped him from achieving worldwide fame.
Now an American company has paid tribute to the controversial breakdancer by turning some of her signature dance moves into Christmas decorations.
Dallas-based laser engraver That laser shop has made an ornament of the Olympic athlete in her green and gold jumpsuit.
One decoration shows the breakdancer in her famous crouching position while touching the top of her shoe.

The product description reads: ‘Whether you’re “Team Raygun” or not, there’s no denying that she was one of the most talked about people of 2024!’
The university professor has kept a low profile since her disastrous performance at the Olympics.
But she recently spoke about how she was left heartbroken by the “devastating” online hate she received after the games.
While some were in awe of the Olympic breakdancer, including music sensation Adele, who recently stopped one of her shows to praise the New South Wales-born dancer, Raygun was the target of scrutiny and criticism from many online .
Last month, Raygun confirmed 2DayFM Jimmy and Nath from Sydney for Breakfast that he does not want to compete again and has ruled out participating in the 2028 Olympic Games.

The university professor has kept a low profile since her disastrous performance at the Olympic Games.
“It’s been really disturbing,” he said. “I just didn’t have any control over how people saw me or who I was.”
Raygun, in fact, would still be the world’s number one breakdancer after the Games, but admits that she is not interested in competing in Los Angeles in 2028.
‘Let’s say in four years, would you go to the Olympics again?’ Nath said to the shooting star.
“No,” she replied, laughing. ‘Nooooooo.’
When asked if he would continue Breaking, Raygun responded, “I’m still breaking, but I don’t compete.” I’m not going to compete anymore. No no.
