Raygun’s unconventional style was a hot topic of conversation as the athlete failed to win a single round in her three group game battles, out of a total of 54.
Fans mocked her routine on social media during and after the event, with Raygun going viral.
She was warned about the backlash and was forced to stay off social media, though did eventually read some of the reaction.
In her first interview since the Olympics, she told The Project: “As soon as I finished my rounds my media liaison from the AOC [Australian Olympic Committee] said ‘there is a bit of a storm brewing on social media so you might want to go off socials’.
“I didn’t understand the scale of it and then I did preview some comments and I was like ‘oh no’ and this sick feeling started coming out.
“I was like ‘oh goodness what has happened?’”
Raygun, 37, was even mocked by American talkshow host Jimmy Fallon, with the Aussie likening the aftermath of the Olympics to being in a dream.
Asked about Fallon’s sketch, Raygun replied: “Mixed emotions. I did not know whether to hug him or yell at him because what a platform he gave me.

“I haven’t actually seen the sketch yet because I don’t think I’m in a place yet to watch it but I will watch it at some point.
“I am still in the process of being able to describe how I feel about all this stuff because it kind of feels like a really weird dream that I’ve been having that I am going to wake up from at any moment because what is life right now.”
