  • An influencer has devised a Raygun workout routine 
  • Aussie breakdancer has gone viral after the Olympics 
  • She could inspire millions to lose weight 

Rachael Gunn's Olympic Games legacy could see millions lose weight after an influencer unveiled a home workout routine inspired by the Aussie breakdancer.

Gunn, stage name Raygun, became the story of the Paris Games over the weekend after her breakdancing performance went disastrously wrong during the inaugural women's event in France.

Raygun scored zero in all three of her performances and became an overnight sensation, with fans flooding social media to share their opinions of her unique moves - which included kangaroo hopping and impersonating a snake. 

The 36-year-old university lecturer has kept a low profile since going viral, and is currently holidaying with her coach and husband Samuel Free after making a surprise appearance at the closing ceremony. 

But Raygun's moves will certainly live on, with Facebook influencer Jezar RIches - who boasts over 300,000 followers on the platform - unveiling a home workout routine inspired by the academic.

The influencer performed the sprinkler, before rolling around the floor in an effort to emulate Raygun's moves. 

'Good morning,' the post read. 'Getting my workout on with Olympian Rachael Gunn.'

While Raygun's performance continues to divide opinion in Australia, the 36-year-old is expected to make millions off the back of her Olympics campaign.

US-based marketing and public relations expert Max Markson said although she remains a contentious figure on her home soil, some of the world's biggest international companies will be eager to capitalise on her high profile.

'She has an enormous brand,' he told Daily Mail Australia.

'Her reputation in Australia isn't that great, but she is famous across the world. 

'I don’t think everyone else in other countries is conscious of how Australians feel about her.

'I think Australian marketers will be avoiding her for that reason, but there will be somebody in this country who will go for it.

'She will get international offers from sports shoe brands, like Adidas or Puma, food companies like McDonald's or KFC, electric cars like BYD, and she will get a phone company like Telstra or Optus or Vodafone.

'There will be other international companies that want her as well.'

Mr Markson said new stars normally sign contracts with three to five companies.

Mr Markson said the going cost for an endorsement deal for American brands such as McDonald's or KFC is about $500,000.

If Raygun scores five contracts at that price point, she would be on track to make $2.5million.

Mr Markson said her financial opportunities will be wider than big brand marketing too.

'She has a PHD, she has a genuine background, so she will also get speaking engagements. She also has an appeal for kids,' he said.

'People will also want her for TV, there will be a TV gig for her in the next six months.'
