Minnesota Vikings safety Camryn Bynum gained attention for his Raygun-inspired celebration on Sunday, and the Olympic breakdancer seemed to love it. TMZ Sports captured Raygun’s reaction to Bynum’s celebration, and she approved his moves.

“Finishing with the kangaroo. Teammates got involved, crowds cheering, that’s a celebration,” she said.

Raygun became popular for her interesting breakdancing moves during the Paris Olympics over the summer. She scored a 0 for her moves in all three competitions, and fans went after Raygun since her performance stood out for all the wrong reasons. But Camryn Bynum told TMZ he’s a big fan of Raygun and wanted to bring her routine to the NFL.

“I memorized it and studied her,” Bymum said. “I had to memorize the dance because I’m like one of my interceptions. I had to do it. I’m excited about the catch and the interception, but my biggest thing was to get that celebration off, and I got it, and I’m happy.”

Has Raygun retired from competitive breakdancing?

Shortly after her Olympic performance Raygun (real name Rachael Gunn) went to Instagram to comment on the backlash while thanking her supporters. “I really appreciate the positivity, and I’m glad I was able to bring some joy into your lives; that’s what I hoped,” Gunn said.

“I didn’t realize that would also open the door to so much hate, which ​has frankly​ ​been pretty devastating.​ While I went out there and I had fun, I did take it very seriously. I worked my butt off preparing for the Olympics, and I gave my all, truly.”

Raygun, who is from Australia, qualified for the Olympics after winning the 2023 Oceania Breaking Championships. She represented Australia at the World Breaking Championships in Paris (2021), Seoul (2022) and Leuven (2023).

There were reports that Raygun announced her retirement from competitive breakdancing. However the 37-year-old came out this week and said it’s not true.

“So I was talking, you know, on 2dayFM about how I’m not going to do certain competitions anymore, which didn’t seem like such a big deal because breaking is not going to be in the Olympics (at LA 2028) any way,” she said on Today Show Australia, per the New York Post.

“But you know, I’m still going to be part of community jams, or I’d like to go to community jams and still and still dance and still break – never used the word ‘retire’. But, you know, it just caught on to the news cycle.”
