'Put it in the Louvre': Australian breaking star 'Raygun' returns for last dance in Paris

She became an overnight cult hero for Australia as her Olympic breaking routine took the world by storm.

But despite some savage online criticism, Aussie breakdancing sensation Rachael 'Raygun' Gunn had no plans to leave Paris without performing one last dance.

Footage emerged of the 36-year-old breaker being paraded through the streets as her fellow Olympians united to form a guard of honour.

Carried on the shoulders of rower Angus Widdicombe, Gunn then performed some of her signature dancer moves including her now-famous kangaroo pose.

Celebrations for the Australia team kicked off as the Opals returned to the village with some new bling after defeating Belgium 85-81 to clinch the final spot on the basketball podium.

Boom-box in hand, Widdicombe had the team screaming the lyrics of I Am Australian and Land Down Under.

The Australian team were basking in the glory of 'Raygun' as they headed to the team bus.

"Put it in the Louvre," Australian diver Domonic Bedggood wrote on Instagram.

"Iconic," Australian cyclist Lauretta Hanson said.

Last week, Gunn made history as the first Australian to compete in Olympic breaking, where she failed to advance past the round-robin stage due to a scoreless result card.

Following the performance Gunn became an internet sensation and went quiet on her own social media. The breaking federation later revealed mental health support had been offered in wake of online criticism.

Australia finished fourth on the medal tally in Paris, with 18 gold, 19 silver and 16 bronze medals.
