The drama engulfing Rachel “Raygun” Gunn has taken its biggest turn yet on the day the divisive athlete landed back in Australia.

The Rachael “Raygun” Gunn drama has taken arguably its biggest twist yet after the Australian break dancer returned home.

The 37-year-old touched down in Sydney on the same day she was uncovered as the new world number one breaker.

Gunn made worldwide headlines following her divisive performances during the Paris Olympics which saw her finish second last, ahead of only one disqualified athlete.

Despite those displays, which resulted in her failing to register a single point, the World DanceSport Federation released the latest rankings which had the Aussie sitting atop the list.

Raygun was catapulted into the world number one ranking thanks to the 1000 points she claimed for winning the WDSF Oceania Championship which booked her a spot in the Olympics.

Four Aussie’s find themselves inside the top eight on the list with Holy Molly (4), Hannah (5) and G-Clef (8) joining Raygun.

The three women who took home the medals in Paris failed to appear on the list with no points offered for the world rankings.

Raygun is the top ranked breaker

Despite her new found home as the world No. 1, Raygun stated she would be stepping away from competition in her first sit-down interview.

“I don’t think I’ll be competing for a while. Not really wanting to be in the spotlight, breaking, competing,” she said on The Project.

“It’s been nice. It’s been a bit of a process to try and start dancing again. Like, that’s actually been tough. You know, it was my medicine, and then it turned into my source of stress.

“So, I’m really happy that it gets to go back to being my medicine. I can kind of finally feel free again. I’m looking forward to breaking, but, no, I don’t think I’ll compete for a while.”

Gunn has continued to attract worldwide headlines with the Macquarie University academic being spotted dining with Boy George before making an appearance alongside Richard Branson.

It likely won’t be the last we see of the divisive figure either after she reportedly caught the attention of the producers of Channel 10 show “I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!”

The show, which throws a range of celebrities into a campsite and involves a range of challenges and eliminations before a winner is announced, aired its 10th season earlier this year.

Not surprisingly, Gunn is considered a perfect addition for the next series, a source told New Idea magazine.

Gunn has even signed with influencer marketing agency Born Bred Talent a move she all but confirmed when she added a contact from the agency to her bio on Instagram.

She can now update her bio further by adding the world number one ranking to her list of credentials.
