Viral breakdancer Raygun has been tipped to appear on a reality TV show after her exploits at the Olympics in Paris.

Raygun, real name Rachael Gunn, continues to be one of the biggest talking points coming out of the Games in the French capital.

The sport of 'breaking' debuted and Gunn's routines went viral online.

Gunn's moves including her hopping like a kangaroo, sprinkling and writhing around on the floor like a snake.

But she received a zero from the judges in every one of her heats, and many accused her of making mockery of the event.

Gunn has had to contend with hate and abuse online, resulting in her posting a response on Instagram where she revealed she has been left "devastated" by negative comments.

The university lecturer will not get a second chance at the next Olympics in Los Angeles as breaking has been removed from the syllabus.

But after becoming an online sensation, there could be plenty of exciting opportunities on the way for Gunn.

In fact, a journalist from The Guardian is predicting three different gigs going forward.

"So where does that leave Our Raygun," the piece reads.

"Well, I foresee a very lucrative career on the speaking circuit, and at least one reality TV show – my money would be on Dancing with the Stars. There will also be a couple of brands lining up to get her in an ad."

Gunn has 191,000 followers on Instagram, where her bio has the email of a talent manager in case anyone wishes to pay for her services.

And marketing and public relations expert Max Markson thinks her agent will be inundated with offers from various high-profile brands wanting to use her for their campaigns.

"Her reputation in Australia isn't that great, but she is famous across the world," he told the Daily Mail.

"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."

He estimates some of those endorsements could be worth $500,000 and thinks a TV appearance will be on the cards within the next six months.
