Raygun makes shock career move that shows how much has changed since 2024 Olympics
Paris Olympics legend Raygun has decided to cash in on her popularity in a surprise career move years after her famous breakdancing performance.
It's already been close to two years since the 2024 Olympic Games took place in Paris, with the 2028 Los Angeles Games rapidly approaching.
Team GB left Paris with a total of 65 medals, 14 of which were gold, putting them 7th on the table of 92 nations competing in the 2024 Games.
However, it isn't a Team GB athlete that will forever be remembered as the face of the Paris Olympic Games.

Instead, that would be Australian breakdancer Raygun, whose real name is Rachael Gunn, after she captured the hearts of sports fans across the world due to her now iconic performance.
But now, 19 months after her appearance at the Olympic Games, Gunn is using her notoriety to make a bit of money on a video platform where she is charging fans for personal messages.
For just £41, fans can request a personalised video message for the breakdancer on Cameo, the Chicago-based company that allows people to purchase videos from a number of celebrities.
Alongside the reality TV stars, musicians and comedians, dozens of famous athletes are active on the platform, including the likes of John Terry, Stephen Bunting and UFC announcer Bruce Buffer.
Raygun joined Cameo on March 2, with her page promising to deliver an 'unforgettable' personalised video that for birthday, weddings bachelor and bachelorette parties or any other celebration.
Discussing the venture in one of the videos on her page, Gunn said it has been an amazing way for her to connect with her fans, particularly due to the backlash and hate she gets on other social media platforms.
Raygun's performance in the breakdancing event at the 2024 Paris Olympics is what launched her to fame online, with moves such as hopping like a kangaroo, sprinkling and doing an impression of a snake on the floor, polarising opinions online
However, she failed to register a point in any of her heats, having scored a zero from the judges for every single one of her performances, making her the only competitor in either the men's or women's competitions to fail to score.
Since the performance, she has been subject to widespread criticism and online bullying across social media.
