The Australian male so-called break dancer was even worse than she was. 😂😂😂
This is how you destroy artistry when you let nonsense like this onto a national stage. You think if she was Black, Hispanic or Asian she would have been afforded the same opportunity?
She got her non rhythmic butt up there and disgraced Break Dancing. She should be ashamed and embarrassed. Absolute waste of a spot that should've went to a REAL break dancer.
I am a kangaroo and I disavow the comparison
The fact that she even made it there is ridiculous haha
Creativity? 🤮
Raygun, a star is born. Anyone who didn't luv ur performance is an ableist bigot. U r to breakdancing what Corey Feldman is to rock-n-roll.
This was like, a beginner gymnast competing against an elite gymnast. It made no sense. If she can’t do the “power moves,” then she’s not an “elite” athlete. Even synchronized swimmers and rhythmic gymnasts require incredible strength, endurance, coordination, discipline, etc. It’s not just a hobby for them, it’s their actual SPORT that they train for. Anyone competing against another should be able to do the same level of “move,” same level of difficulty. Common sense. That’s why so many are appalled by this.
Did know one give her feedback on her routine before she performed?
THIS IS LIKE URKEL JUMPED INTO THE BODY OF A WHITE GIRL MAKING AN URKEL WHITE GIRL SANDWHICH.
Someone forgot to tell her what the judges were looking for, it is a competition of supposedly 't'he best of the best'. Slow, easy, unconventional moves wasn't competitive so why bother?
I would go to her classes for the movement and fun value. 🦘
She hit the world with those anime moves The kangaroo 🦘, The Snake🐍 , and The 🐊 Crocodile
She has now gone down in Olympic History as the most famous Australian Woman EVER!
She made a mockery of the sport and the true competitors
Where is the full video,
It was disrespectful. I'm sure there are better breakers in Australia.
She was mocking the culture.
I happened past the tv when this was on, having no idea what it was. I assumed it was a comedic skit in closing ceremonies of a "pat" like snl character doing a gymnastics floor routine. 😂
When you go all PhD on them and it's not adult daycare academia
It was disrespectful for everyone. Olympics are a stage for the most accomplished athletes.
Breaking isn't interpretive dance. Its not about art. It's about athleticism…. which is WHY IT WAS IN THE OLYMPICS!!!
If she can do it…..I can do it!!!!….give me 15 beers first!!!
Oh save the stupid explanation. Just admit it, you were terrible, you should have never been on the team, pay back the money to the Olympic Committee for your free Paris vacation and apologize to your country.
They could have picked any au street performer to perform here and they would have made Raygun still appear a joke
Dance your little heart out Raygun move them happy feet 🤙🏾👌🏾
