And she is an expert on this culture, intellectually at least (she has published several papers, especially one about the relationship of breakdancing and olympics in 2023). So while it is always questionable when a street culture becomes mainstream, I think she accompanied this process with her nerdy punch in the face. She is just a nerd b-girl

      Sexism? Who said that? But I agree the women rocked it. I was super surprised by B-girls India, 671 and Ami so dope creative. The men's event also spectacular. But Raygun shouldn't have been there but you know what if Team Australia felt that was there best Bgirl to represent then hey 🤷🏽‍♂️ but don't they have to compete prior to even get into the Olympics. I think for sure this was just a test run. But Raygun should not get hate. Matter of fact I couldn't even do her moves 😂 so shout out to her for doing her best.
      But the sad part that pisses me off they won't have breaking in 2028 los angels and maybe not even in Brisbane Australia 2032. So what was the point. All the breakers probably where thinking yes I could go in 2028 or 2032 or in the future. But now nothing. Super dumb on California for rejecting it. Like breaking came out of America the bronx then it hit every city then world wide. God knows when the Olympics coming back to America after 2028. You kno what, they should do what they did for surfing the Olympics was in Paris but surfing was in Tahiti. I bet if Cali spoke to the bronx. They could just set up something nice at any location or gym or armory in the bronx or Manhattan. Just dumb for not wanting to continue it. EVEN THOUGH THEY MENTIONED ALOT OF PEOPLE WHERE WATCHING and the top heads In Paris loved it and said it was "exhilarating"
      Breaking is basically gymnastics but cooler.

And to make others that worked so hard for it WATCH YOU ACT A FOOL is even crazier. Step further then for the coach to encourage it/try to replace blame back onto “trolls” is just ridiculous. She made a mockery of it and should have opted out if she ACTUALLY felt she had no chance. If you had no chance, there were probably thousands of women who would have killed for and killed the competition. She should be ashamed and this is not an act of courage in the slightest.

      it was a kangaroo hop. because she's from australia. kangaroos are from australia. that's very creative. you are not creative enough to link kangaroos to australia. maybe if you get a phd you will get this.

    Raygun deserved every bit of the criticism she was dealt for whatever that was she was doing. She was out there just winging it looking like she probably didnt even practice. Her presence in the competition is so disrespectful to the real breakers. Ray gun is a huge poser and she knows it.

    The fact that they doubled down makes it worse. Creativity is great for interpretive dance but for breakdancing you need creativity, skill, athleticism, and style. All I saw her doing was flopping on the floor. I literally did the same thing when I was 3 trying to breakdance.

    Raygun could have done a non-athletic performance that emphasized artistry and imagination. She didn't. She threw together an "act" composed of jokes, memes, and oddities. Very inconsistent in emotive content. More of a high school talent contest quality, than an olympic effort.

      The whole thing is very... sambo routine. It feels racist. Her duck face reads like she's thinking to herself, "this is what i think breakdancers (mostly black, or at least originally so) look like. Here, let me do my impression of a breakdancer for you.
