Minnesota Vikings safety Cam Bynum put on a gold medal performance this weekend.

In the final quarter of the Vikings' 12-7 victory over the Jaguars, Bynum intercepted Mac Jones and celebrated the momentous play by referencing one of the most popular moments from the Paris Olympics.

In the end zone, Bynum executed a series of moves that were reminiscent of the Australian b-girl's contentious routine from the 2024 Summer Games, where the athlete failed to earn any points despite competing in all of their round-robin battles.

The celebration on Sunday was praised by Raygun, whose real name is Rachael Gunn, and went viral on social media.

"Gunn expressed her love for something wild on her Instagram Stories."

Despite failing to match the skill level of her international opponents, Gunn, 37, qualified for the Games and faced overwhelming criticism for her performance in Paris.

Gunn, a university lecturer at Macquarie University with a Ph.D. in cultural studies, has "dance" listed as one of her research interests according to her Olympics bio.

Gunn won the QMS Oceania Championships in Sydney and was named the top-ranked b-girl by the Australian Breaking Association in 2020 and 2021, qualifying for the Paris Olympics.

Gunn announced this month that she had ultimately decided to retire from the sport, despite initially planning to continue competing.

"I had no control over how people perceived me or my identity, and I was determined to continue competing. However, I now find it challenging to do so due to the intense scrutiny and online exposure that comes with it."
