Australia\'s now infamous breakdancer Rachael \'Raygun\' Gunn will not return home with her fellow Olympic athletes, and will instead enjoy a holiday in Europe.

The 36-year-old made headlines around the world for her bizarre performance in Paris that saw her fail to score a single point across three battles. 

Australia\'s Olympians landed in Sydney on Wednesday morning after the conclusion of the Games but Raygun was not on board the plane.

She will instead remain in Europe, potentially to spend some downtime with her husband Samuel Free and her parents, 2GB reported.

The athletes were reunited with family and friends on Wednesday morning inside a Qantas hangar at Sydney Airport.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and NSW Premier Chris Minns were also in attendance to welcome the athletes home.

The flight back was a quiet one, with most of the athletes too tired to celebrate, 2GB producer Spiro Christopoulos reported.

It\'s understood those with medals were able to snap up the business class seats first, with two-time Olympians offered premium economy seats.

The plane was reportedly an extra 25kg  heavier coming home due to the weight of the athletes\' medals. 

On board were swimming superstars Ariarne Titmus and Kaylee McKeown, canoeist Jess Fox and her sister Noemie, discus thrower Matt Denny, sailor Matt Wearn and BMX star Saya Sakakibara.

Closing ceremony flag bearers McKeown and Wearn were first off the plane, and were met with applause and cheers from loved ones. 

Paris was Australia\'s most successful Olympics with athletes winning 18 gold medals.
