A week ago, breakerdancer Rachael Gunn announced her retirement. The Australian’s performance at the Paris Olympic Games became one of the most talked about. B-Girl Raygun didn’t score, but her moves left their mark. His dance, which many described as that of the kangaroo, swept social networks.

“I’m not going to compete anymore,” the 37-year-old dancer announced on the ‘Jimmy & Nath Show’ on the Australian channel 2DayFM. Despite his retirement, his dance endures and causes a sensation. Camryn Bynum, a player for the NFL’s Minnesota Vikings, imitated Raygun during her team’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Bynum made a decisive interception late in the fourth quarter. As soon as she grabbed the ball she headed to the corner and danced like the Olympic breakdancer. “I’m a big fan. She came out and had fun and that’s what I do on the field. I’ve been saving this celebration for the right time. It’s been several weeks of preparation,” Bynum told Fox Sports Australia.

Bynum’s dance infected some of her teammates who also dared to perform some of Rachael Gunn’s moves. The Australian breakdancer, in the interview that announced her retirement, revealed how bad she had been in these months: “It is still impossible to process the totally crazy conspiracy theories against me… It has been really disturbing. I simply had no control about how people saw me or who I was, who my partner was, my story.
