Oscar Wilde once said imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but this surely wasn’t what he had in mind.

Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon has used his opening monologue to mock Australia’s Olympic breakdancing flop, Rachael “Raygun” Gunn.

“Breakdancing made its Olympic debut,” Fallon said to laughter from the crowd.

“And everyone’s still talking about the competitor from Australia named Raygun.”

A clip of Raygun’s scoreless performance in the breaking competition was then played, before Fallon asked the crowd: “You have to wonder where Raygun is right now …”

Comedian Rachel Dratch then burst on to the stage in Raygun’s now famous green and gold tracksuit to perform a takedown of her routine as the breakdancer’s global renown shows no sign of abating.
