Raygun 'offered new job' in completely different sport that will be featured at the 2028 Olympics

Viral Australian breakdancer Raygun has been offered a tongue-in-cheek opportunity to compete in a different sport that will feature at the 2028 Olympics.

Raygun went viral on social media at the Paris Games for her routine in the breakdancing event.

The 36-year-old university lecturer - full name Rachael Gunn - was awarded a score of zero points by the judges, but was praised for her 'originality'.

Her father-in-law, Andrew Free, criticised the judges on social media, claiming that they 'did not reward originality and musicality'.

But despite a mixed response to her routine, Raygun has become an online sensation overnight - and now she has been presented with a tongue-in-cheek offer.

The offer has arrived courtesy of the Australia women's cricket team, via their official Instagram account.

A satirical account posted an article on their Instagram page accompanied with the headline: 'Olympic breakdancing hero Raygun gets surprise call up to Australia's one day cricket team' - solely because she wore a similar kit to what the cricket team wears.

The cricket team's account replied: "Welcome anytime, Raygun'.

Cricket will take place at the 2028 Olympics as one of five additional sports for the Los Angeles Games.

The inclusion of cricket is part of attempts to grow the game in the States, with the Major League Cricket T20 league having been launched three years ago.

It is expected that there will be men's and women's T20 events at the Games, although further details have yet to be announced.

Australia are the most successful team in women's cricket history, winning the 50-over World Cup on seven of the 12 occasions it has been held.

Star all-rounder Ellyse Perry was so talented at a young age that she had the genuine option to choose between cricket and football - and ended up playing both.

The now 33-year-old played at the 2011 Women's World Cup, and featured in the Sydney FC side that lost 3-2 to Chelsea in the International Women's Club Championship two years later.

She carried on playing football until 2016, when she decided to fully focus on cricket.

At the beginning of 2020, Australia defeated India by 85 runs to win the T20 World Cup - with the match attracting a record attendance for a women's match of 86,174 to the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

Now, the likes of Perry and star team-mates Ashleigh Gardner, Beth Mooney and current captain Alyssa Healy could all represent their country for the first time at an Olympics in four years time in Los Angeles.
