I was at work watching it live. Me and my co-workers laughed our arses for an hour.😂
Lol! Me too!!!
😂😂😂😂
I wish someone had recorded it. The performance is nowhere to be found. I've only seen very short clips.
I literally was crying in laughter and don’t feel bad about it. 😂
@@lvega5606 it's on Peacock. Gotta pay to see! Olympics has everything copyrighted.
When you lied in your resume
😂
😂😂😂😂
She literally has a PHD in breakdancing - so this is innovative out of the box stuff - lol. Breaking the Internet....Meme Queen.
lols. the real tragedy here is she didn’t lie about it.
more like she picked her own resume ...
This is a classic 5 year old nephew situation saying "Watch what I can do"
Except the 5 year old nephew is better
“Look what I can do!” - Stuart
As an Australian, I can honestly say, fucking hilarious! 😂
I hope she was qualified as a joke entrant... hahahahahaha
@@samuellarielle-jones9690
She's done more than most people ever will. She went to and competed in the 2024 Olympics. 🤣. She's my hero!
Just makes me feel like we all have a chance to compete now lol
Don't hate, it's this creativity that brought us to "Worm" move.
@@stoneaged5064
Baby, it's the Australian way to make jokes and have fun.. She's my hero! 🤣
Show videos and stop yapping
You realize this is a podcast right? They need to "yap"
it's like, totally like, minorities and like, black people and stuff
@@athulfgeirsson blah blah and a giant boombox blah blah lol
literally they never show it
@@Misqadodawg it aint that hard to use a video for b roll
I'm Australian and I haven't laughed so hard in years. This is Cris Lily.
YESSSS!!
Kath Day Knight. So good!
When you lie on your resume and get away with it hahaha
It's the Olympic official's fault for letting Raygun participate in the Olympics. Clearly, you can see that she was not qualified to compete at the Olympic level. How did she get past the qualifications?
Every country should get the chance to send someone in
She was 1 of 2 that competed for the Olympic spot. Ironically her competitor was slightly better than her.
Emerging sports have much less strict qual rules than the established sports.
She supposedly got a PHD in break dancing?? I'm an Aussie there's hundreds of girls better than this bird. It's not what you know It's who you know
@@troycassidy6177 I think it was a plot by Australia to make sure Break Dancing doesn’t get another chance at the Olympics. The world will be forever in Australias debt if that happens.
She was even wearing a cricket outfit omg 😂😂😂 she represents Australia not for the breakdance but for their humour 😂😂
Their humour sucks
@@USandGlobal LOL American telling us our humour sucks. That is the funniest thing I have read in at least 6 minutes.
Generally a great sense of humor! But she's crying victim. Not what I'd expect from an Aussie.
@@USandGlobal You've never met an Aussie have you? Everyone I've have trouble taking life seriously enough.
@@billking8843American here. We don’t claim that c&nt.
Australia has just had the best Olympics performance in our history, 20 million people put together the 3rd best team on the planet. And this is what it'll be remembered for...
Yup. The real athletes who sacrificed and worked their whole lives to compete at the games and to then earn a medal are being outshined bc the internet is spotlighting this clown. I find her entry disrespectful and an insult to all Olympic athletes
20 million? The whole population didn't train and try out for Olympics. How demented lol
@@Ajwananow Learn the concept of per capita, it's very basic math.
HAHAHAaaa yeah sad eh bro
Yup. You're right. So much talent.... overshadowed by so much wokeling horse biscuit. That SUCKS!
As an Aussie, no-one in Australia can understand why Raygun was dressed liked a Cricketer and how in the world she made it to the Olympics (WTF is the kangaroo jump), Keep an eye on Jeff Dunne (Australia) though he is good for a 16year old.
The outfit added to the cringe 💯.
Man if they had break dancing in the Olympics in the 90s I would've made the team 😂😂😂
The Australian women's team.
That's not the problem... Look for current break dance videos. I marvel at how their bodies can stay in one piece.
pov: when I’m too lazy to sit up so I try to grab my blanket at the edge of my bed with my feet
As an Australian please take my apology our entry was horrible
@@ianmcnaney6528 I'd read some slam poetry. Yes, I'd also score zero points (i.e. the exact same) but I'd at least leave with some dignity.
@@ianmcnaney6528you must be related to her or her husband. Totally woeful
No thanks... It may be tainted ! Never mention that fraud again... Ta!
@@ianmcnaney6528the saddest part is that I legitimately think I could, and I’ve never breakdanced (brokedance?) in my life.
Nahh Raygun really a pioneer in educational dance 🐐😂
All jokes aside, her entry is a massive slap in the face to the Olympic athletes who did/did not make it and worked their whole lives for a brief single moment at the games. Her entry is insulting to the sacrifices of the athletes, their family’s sacrifices and all the pain, blood, sweat, tears, and struggles they endured for years to decades to become an elite world class athlete. Rebecca Andrade walked 2 hrs everyday to train at her gym, Chloe Kim’s dad drove 20 hours to and from every weekend to take her to train. Then you have regular person plucked from her academic scholarship-who isn’t even a break dancer, who has not put in the long years of training-competing at the Olympics. She did not take it seriously from how she was dressed to her doing the sprinkler, kangaroo, and other weird cringey moves. She did not dedicate her life, spend her days and time breaking but yet, she’s allowed to qualify for the Olympics on a technicality. She jumped around and posed on stage; it was a waste of time and a waste of a spot of a true competitor w actual skill and talent. It was full on posturing and her presence was an insult and offensive to all break dancers, to the Olympic athletes, and the games. She made a joke of breaking and made break dancers look bad. Audiences don’t tune in to watch below average or just plain bad ‘athletes’ perform. She is not a break dancer and to allow her to compete at the first ever breaking competition at the Olympics is a huge slap in the face. Her academic writings about it is not enough to make her a B-Girl let alone an Olympian. Breaking is not even a real hobby for her; she’s just using it and exploiting it to make herself cute and quirky. Raygun is a fake and wannabe, her performance was disrespectful to the culture and history of breaking. She should have been a spectator like the rest of us watching at home if she loves and respects breaking as much as she claims. Raygun should have withdrew and not participated in the games out of respect to the B-girls and all other Olympic athletes. She selfishly took the spotlight off the gold medalist, Ami and all the other competitors. Elite athletes strive their entire lives for a fleeting chance, a shinning moment to participate at the games. It’s disrespectful to all Olympic athletes and takes the spotlight off the true groundbreaking artists in breaking and makes a joke out of the sport. Breaking is not a guaranteed sport in future Olympics. It’s trying to secure itself as a sport in every Olympic games; however, having an entry like Raygun dilutes the skill and mastery needed and pokes fun of breaking/break dancers and makes audiences not take breaking/break dancers seriously and viewers at home question and criticize it being an Olympic sport if entries like Raygun are able to compete on an elite level. She is making a mockery of breaking and spitting in the face of all the hard earned spots at the Olympics, that athletes have long fought for. These people painfully work their entire lives w one goal and aim in mind, they make huge sacrifices to be an elite athlete competing at the Olympics. And yet, here you have some less than mediocre joker entering the Olympics as an athlete at a new sport that’s trying to garner the respect it deserves. This isn’t a joke, serious break dancers have dedicated their time and their life to breaking; it’s not a hobby or past time, and Raygun spits in the face of all of them, of all Olympics athletes, and dumps on the culture and history of breaking. She is a mockery of the Olympic games and to elite athletes.
Well put.
I ain’t reading all that
That's a lot of accusations and slandering towards Raygun - what are the sources?
Btw, I haven't seen the women's, don't have telly, I just stream stuff on RUclips
Imagine yapping an entire paragraph with zero knowledge of breaking as both a sport and an art form from your lazy boy chair and thinking youre spitting hot fire.
This was rayguns style and how she's always performed in other battles she's been in. People are allowed to have their own interpretation of a style, in fact that is an imperative part of breaking. I think you're misinformed and also taking this way too seriously. She was selected for the team, someone else could have been chosen if they thought she wasn't suitable. The Olympics is meant to bring people together, I'm so sick of all the negativity and complaining about everything and anyone.
She was having a seizure and everyone just watched. Unacceptable!😂🤣🤣
My apologies from Australia
POV: my dog when he’s itchy
Raygun being in the Olympics tells me that anyone could've just signed up to compete.
maybe i should've put my name down. 😂
She was showing the secret move of Legendary "Drop Bears" 😂😂
Kath & Kim would be proud😂
@@liaellis2355 haha totally, there was an episode where Kath dances like an emu. This is embarrassing 😳😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
The other competitors pretty much got overshadowed by Raygun in the worst possible way. Any time breakdancing gets brought up it'll not be because of the quality of the other dancers it'll be because of Raygun.
Raygun did “the sprinkler” at the Olympics…legend
I like, like, the way these, like, guys use the, like, word, “like”, with, like, a degree of, like, frequency, that like, exceeds whatwe’d typically, like, expect from, like, experienced media, like, people, or like, hosts, or whatever.
The fact that you guys are half serious and half making a mockery of the Breaking competition when you both barely watched the battles says everything. You talked about Raygun's performance more than the 3 B-Girls that took medals. 671 - Bronze, Nicka - Silver and Ami - Gold. I really hope you guys watch the whole B-Boy battle tomorrow instead of focusing on whoever the next meme is gonna be.
I didn’t even see Raygun, I only watched the women’s quarterfinals through the finals. They were all amazing! 100% those were athletes and artists both. If these people are letting one competitor ruin their idea of the event (which they didn’t even really watch), they’re doing it wrong. I want to see more breaking at future Olympics.
The convo should def be focused on the medal winners. This coverage is a travesty.
The men's breakdancing from Canada, France, USA, Japan guy SugaLegs was sick - very good! He deserves the gold. The black guy from France -Danny ?¿ was definitely Silver, the Mexican guy from Kissimmee Florida USA deserves bronze - which he received.
@@Malaikatrendy 💯I was surprised Wizard took it ….he had some insane vocabulary tho. Seems like the judges were big on repeating maneuvers. That’s prob why Victor took bronze with shorter sets
On a positive note, this will be the first and last time we see breaking as an Olympic sport.
Invite the actual bboys over.
@@kridreklaw Thank god
Nope. Too much attention. Money is the name of the game.
I’m Australian and I’m embarrassed
All the media outlets including the ABC were hyping her up 6 months ago when they announced she was the female representative for Aus. They all looked embarassed this morning.
I’m not Australian and I’m embarrassed 😢
Did not anticipate Australia clowning themselves this Olympics 🤣
I'm Australian and I am not embarrassed. We have serially embarrassed ourselves by taking the Olympics waaaaaaaaaaaaay too seriously. The breakdancing comp would have been a dull sideshow without her. Now people with a sense of humour are loving it and people who take life too seriously are trying to pile on. She won't give a Fk about your attempts to pile on.
@@billking8843 hahahahha irony much? Chill out fella.
Dan You said "Like" more times than "and". How old are you?
Dan and Mitch,
I strongly encourage you to do your homework before making comments on Breakin’. Your recent remarks make it clear that you’re out of touch with the sport and lack an understanding of the culture behind it. Breakin’ is not just a dance; it’s a dynamic, growing sport with deep roots in urban communities across cities like New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Texas.
While I respect all Olympic sports, including table tennis, sailing, fencing, and badminton, the reality is that Breakin' resonates with urban youth in a way these other sports do not. That’s why it deserves its place on the Olympic stage. It’s not just about being entertaining; it’s about representing a culture that is expanding and evolving every day.
The suggestion that Breakin’ doesn’t deserve a larger platform is misguided. Just because you’re not a fan doesn’t give you the right to diminish the impact and importance of this sport. I recommend you take the time to learn more about Breakin’-understand the musicality, the moves, and the culture-before making uninformed comments. Your opinions would be more credible if they were grounded in knowledge rather than assumptions. Felix Sama President Of USA Breakin....www.usabreakin.org
💯! I left my own scathing remark on this dumb Sports Illustrated video! Whoever thought this was a smart idea needs to go back and rethink their thoughts. Having two clueless peeps have a one sided confirmation biased conversation isn't the way to usher in a new sporting event. Where were the opinions and information from actual professionals. This is dumb dumb dumb!
@@DJsamaTV CRINGE
Bring in the real bboys
Raygun won a gold medal for floorpolishing.
Good, bad, or indifferent, as a bboy, it’s awesome to see battles on a televised platform and to have a footprint in the Olympics is an accomplishment there. I’m very proud to see everyone there representing for Hip Hop worldwide. Plus creating opportunities for gigs in music videos or just to be an extra or something. At the end of the day it’s all love creating a positive environment for kids to express themselves. Thank you to all giving us a chance to showcase skills but also showcasing the essence of Hip Hop culture
this is my stance as well. I also hope BC One gets more recognition as well!
I enjoyed it, I love break dancing. It's a shame they keep having clueless peeps do the segment conversation about it, when they do not understand it. Shame shame and utterly disappointed
there are sports more worthy of being in the Olympics but break dancing does take unique skills and talent, if not for Raygun I don't think most people would have known this was an event this year so she was good for more than just a good laugh.
I agree with everything you've said. I'm not a bgirl or dancer but I'm a massive fan of hip hop and I have been watching break battles for years too! I love it. The negativity I've seen from a lot of people really sucks and is not in the spirit of the Olympics!
And because of her breakdancing was removed.
Giving her zeros for her performance was very generous
Breaking has always been very competitive. It’s all about competition. Look up Battle of the Year. It’s pretty much break dancing Olympics. Groups from all over the world represent their nations. France is actually a top competitor in the breaking world along Korea and Japan.
It’s a new event in the olympics and her performance (good or bad) has grabbed the whole world’s attention. As an academic exercise, it’s a total winner. As a meme, winner.
Raygun saw the cultural vacuum Democracy Manifest left in his passing, took the entire country by the hand, and said, “Hold my Voltaren.”
I hope it comes back, I thought it was really interesting and fun to watch. Ami was really impressive tbh
Anybody else thinking "well Bob, that's hip hop "😂😂😂😂😂
Awwww. Bless her ❤️. All I could think of was, "This is Flip White Fudge's sister.." & "That's Hip Hop." 😅
You've got to watch it, its the closest thing to a minstrel show we have had in years outside of my house
I was so impressed with the B girls. Amazing strength, stamina, concentration and creativity! I loved the competition and I hope it will be included in future Olympics! ETA: I watched the whole day of competition.
Me too I was waiting for this moment finally something new to the Olympics
If anything it should have debut in Los Angeles, and instead of breakdancing it should have just been a free style dance off challenge.
I think Australia meant to send her to the Special Olympics and got the dates mixed up.
Considering we allow Ice Dancing and Equestrian Dressage I don't have a problem with Breakdancing being included. After all in the early days of the modern Olympics a prize was given for Art as an Olympic event . People seem to be so quick to moan and complain these days . In Australia we have a name for this " Sookie La La " . Its where adults cry and complain like toddlers.
the blatant disrespect from these two and everyone who’s “covering” breaking in the olympics has been so annoying. All these little jabs and choosing to not be as informed as they could be just shows how ignorant they are to breaking. There’s a clear guideline in the way the competition goes and the breakdowns of how each dancer gets scored just like any other competition. Just because it’s also a dance form doesn’t mean it shouldn’t get any less respect than the other events in the olympics. If breaking were in the olympics for decades I have no doubt people would treat it with the same respect but also enjoy watching it. Let’s not act like everyone understands all of the other events and how they’re scored. Breaking should be celebrated the same bc these are athletes and dancers. They have just as much heart as anyone else competing for gold.
@@jaredviray8116
Agree
they look dumb tho. af
@@jaredviray8116 yeah!!!!!! And they should all get a gold medal, 2 gold medals!!!
Orrrr breakdancing is absurd and deserves nothing but mockery.
Breakdancing is officially dead!!!
Not one move was made on bait. This is nothing but a acrobatics session breakdancing isn't gymnastics or acrobatics so I don't understand what you were looking at the sisters are laughing at this competition.
Raygun is an instant Aussie ICON! 😂❤🇦🇺
However you might feel about Breaking being in the olympics, I just have to say watching the Olympic Breaking was the first time I actually had fun watching the Olympics.
If they were to start having it every year, then I might actually start watching the Olympics live
I wish the official commentators were also up to par, not these effing clowns!
@joyhana3542 They should have people who are experienced break dancers do commentating. at least have one of them be experienced so that they can provide the other one with insight
Breaking is dope. Most of the dancers are gonna be incredible.
I’m an Australian and I nearly broke up laughing when I seen the dance. I’d prefer Dena to represent. Boom bam because that’s hip hop.
💯💯💯💯💯
@@ahamlin7193 THAT’S hip hop!
Wow Quagmire University gave this lady a PhD for this and look at what she's done to the Olympics😂 raising the bar. Blessings!
“Hip-Hop’ified” gymnastics is crazy. Some authentic commentary from ppl within the culture is desperately required 🧐
These 2 guys are extremely unqualified to speak on Breaking. Such a massive disconnect.
They are so ignorant its apalling.
Agree, it was 2024 when Dan knew (kinda) what a battle is
Facts 👏💯👏
I definitely agree
The fact that Michael “Boogaloo Shrimp” Chambers was not a judge invalidated the entire competition.
Why would raygun decide "yeah I'm gonna throw down the cardboard"
After all the medals that Australia won, Raygun ends up being their most memorable performer this Olympics 🤣🤣🤣
At the women's gold medal match, the commentators said that, if the Lithuanian won the gold medal, it would be the first time Lithuania got a gold medal.
That was wrong. Ruta Malutyta (probably spelled that wrong) won the gold medal in 2012 at the London Olympics. Not only that, but she was (at the time) the youngest swimmer to win. It was the 100m breast stroke.
That's not at all what they said. They said if she won gold it would be Lithuania's first at THIS Olympic games. They were correct.
Could be. Not sure now.
@@lindalds I am
Ray Gunn got a free trip to Paris…
The problem is so many unqualified people talking about something they know nothing about…So why would it be pushed to be in any other Olympics…While I consider it more of an art form I do agree that it should be represented in the Olympics. Idk what they saw but I saw a all the seats full in the competition!
To be honest, most sports at some point were like that, too. Someone said "it is not a real sport". But if rhythm gymnastics is a sport, If ice skating is a sport. And for example they talk about how it is a sport that came from a group of people (like, yeah, I bet all sports came at some point from a small group of peoplel), think of curling, if that is not niche, what is? I believe breaking is way more mainstream than curling. You see it everywhere and not just anyone can really do those things.
The only part I was a bit meh about is the face-off part because I feel that can lead to subpar athletes in top positions if they are lucky. But that is how boxing works. And no one seems to have a problem with violent sports where people are out to hurt each other.
For me the Olympic games is a chance to see sports i never see. So I welcome any and all activities so I can learn more about them. It is not like everyone, everywhere can afford to put their child through the expenses of training for certain sports that people have no issue calling a sport.
I have issues with this person performance mostly because I am pretty sure there are better performers in her country. But I don't know how they found people to participate and maybe was important to have someone even if they were bad?
Exactly
@@dzyannleleur352 speaking of ice skating, Surya Bonaly was robbed!
The men definitely killed it and id be sad if we dont get to see it again.
Sorry but Raygun was absolutely awful. If this is a sport, how on earth is that the best we have to offer ?
That is messed up. This was one of the most interesting I have seen.
This brought me right back to the early 2000s where every other movie that came out desperately tried to make this cool.
No No.. early 2000 movies were NOT Breaking. If you want real breaking movies go back to the late 70s to mid 80s. And even today, you do have some great break dancers out there. Breakdancing is really cool if it’s been done correctly, It just does not belong in the Olympics and it was stolen by a bunch of culture vultures as you could see in the Olympics.
Breaking not being in Los Angeles of all cities is messed up.
she is a legend, I admire her spirit and adventuristicity!
No…..just, NO.
@@Corrupted-file yeh well I agree it's not upto gold medal standard!
@@chorcor888
Breaking should have never left the underground.
The commercialization of it, is what you see here….a stint in the Olympics, for fodder.
She is a legend; I’m glad she demonstrated to the world how ridiculous it was to materialize an art form, for glory.
Why is it SO freaking hard to find clips of this?
I'm Aussie and I have friends who breakdance and they're REALLY GOOD. But what the hell was this????? Who did she beat to get in?
Um..I'm sure you THINK they're good. Lol...white people. Gotta laff....😅
Sounds like y’all aussies respectfully, don’t really dance.
@@smackddd3339 Entirely possible. But even our male entrant the next night had more established break moves. So idk. I feel like RayGun was a "slip through the cracks" entrant. Like jumping a fence and ending up in the stadium.
Maybe she knows the ‘right people ‘ in the breakdancing world.
Watching Raygun must have been like watching Breakin 2: Electric Boogaloo back in the day.
I’ll drink a carton of beer and go out and have a go
😂
Australians are hilarious for sending her Always loved their sense of humor
I haven't heard someone use the word like so many times since the '80s
The Olympics may want to rewatch the movie “Breakin” and Breakin 2: Electric Boogaloo and you tell everyone that breakdancing is a hip-hop competition and not a real sport.
Thats called kangaroo crunking😂
There is no way anybody credible actually thought this woman was an elite Australian break-dancer. The Olympics is arguably the most prestigious sporting event in the world; it’s a shame that a true competitor’s spot was wasted for this.
I love break dancing, it should have a permanent place in the olympics, the para olympics, like actual dancing without ur wheelchair, nice work raygun
The lineup to get into the event apparently stretched around the block like twice, so it is popular, they just handled it poorly but if we're going off "events people want to see", this does seem to be popular.
The Bboys will come correct.
👍🏿
Beast's @@cupofjavaproductions3138
Straight up!!
take a shot every time the Dan guy says "like"
It’s giving I lied on my resume 😂😂😂😂 she was embarrassing
If you can turn ballroom dance into a sport version, you can turn breaking into a sport version, but as it is right now it's still more of a performance art, a standard can be created but it'll be more like a hybrid from of gymnastics with a different set of moves and music
The whole event was hilariously awkward, in general those people seem to have no idea of what they’re doing, pretty much like me if I started to bust a move 😂
Probably coz you know not much about breaking..... It was painful watching this show of a video from clueless people! Uuugghhhh!
I have watched the street break dancers in Cartagena, Columbia several times and any one of them was better than anyone I've seen at the Olympics.
because it came from a minority we should therefore not support it at the olympics? Is that really what I just heard?
Yes.
Come now you know how they are
These two guys go to a wedding and think about doing the sprinkler but actually never get on the dance floor
It should be back in New York Olympics and Breaking should have more TV time instead of being hyped to force purchases of mobile streaming apps.
Whatever people think... Raygun is now a legend!❤
The only thing worse than the Aussies sets. Are these two obnoxiously showing their privilege. Saying “I don’t really know the sport…but”. Does not justify blabbing on for seven minutes and tearing down people and culture. Take that time instead to learn what you’re talking about. Like salmon polo shirts, or bad comb overs.
Showing their privilege! Get a grip pal, they are right in ridiculing this absurd woman wannabe, she is the one making a mockery of the so called culture.
@@DJ-qi4ryLearned to read pal. The issue is not that the Aussies set was not worth commenting on. But that they used it as a reason to judge all of breaking. Unfortunately, it seems common now that some people seek the worst examples to justify their ignorant judgment. It seems you can relate to that. But I’m sure you’re working on it. 👍
I agree. Why talk about something you just admitted to not being knowledgeable about? Also, I truly think everyone is being a little harsh on Raygun. Obviously she's not the best in the competition but saying it was a joke and an embarrassment is not fair and as you said, takes attention away from the other competitors. I really hope they have breaking again in the Olympics and this isn't the end already.
I can't get over the Kangaroo pose 😂
I was not at all surprised to discover Raygun is a gender studies professor.
😂😂😂😂
You should be very surprised, because that's completely incorrect. She has a PHD in cultural studies.
@@marke2452 Better check your crystal ball again, Jafar. Point to the section of my comment that made a claim about what her degree is in. I’ll wait. Hooked on phonics definitely didn’t work for you.
@@djvapid "Raygun" is Rachael Gunn, a 36-year-old university lecturer in the Department of Media, Communications, Creative Arts, Language and Literature at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia.
You should ask your mother to show you how the internet works.
@@marke2452 Answer my question. Or move on. None of us need a master class in deflection. Don’t worry, I’ll wait.
Feel the rhythm! Feel the rhyme! Come on girls it’s breakdance time! She’s the Jamaican bobsled team of breakdancing.
She doesn't look as bad in some of her dance clips online.
I think I 'get' why this happened :
- they had no idea about the music and had to improv on the spot
- negative points for repeat moves
I think this is what stumped her.
Good luck to her. May she continue the journey and not get discouraged by the trolling.
I mean she was competent. But in the Olympics you have to be one of the best. There are thousands better than her in Australia. I am sure of that..
I love the JOKE!!!!😂😂😂😂
Tbis is in the Olympics snd Baseball isn't?? You're telling me Breaking is more popular internationally than baseball? Or Cricket for that matter
yeah cause baseball is boring af
i see you live in america
They had baseball in Tokyo but didn’t bring it back
I feel the same but I understand it. Baseball has always been inconsistently represented in the Olympics. France doesn't have a very competitive baseball team. Being the host country get a big say on events outside of swimming and track and field, they decided not to host it.
But also the Summer Games coincides with the MLB games in America. Softball and baseball will be back for the Los Angeles games in 2028. I'd prefer baseball over breakdancing too
@@thisjomanNah, America invented breaking. He don’t speak for all of us.
It was nice to hear your opinion on the matter but by the advertisement of the video I thought I was actually going to get to see part of the event
Screw that! Breaking was the best part of this Olympics, nothing else kept me and several people as engaged and bought in 💯
Right on!
I would always want to see this.
If they can have synchronized swimming in the Olympics they should have breaking. These dancers are athletes!
No they aren’t
@@Cringe905yes they are! Tell me you know nothing about breaking dancing or dancing without telling me you know nothing about breakdancing or dancing loool
@@joyhana3542 Nah they ain’t coming back next year after Raygun 😂😂
“Some kind of scepter”? Have you watched ANY competition in any sport yet? It’s the precession for EVERY event.
Am low key impressed At her age she can spin a little on her head. Kudos!
You should have seen one of the Japanese contestants then. 41 years old and light-years better than Raygun.
Even if they don't have it at next Olympics, the Red Bull BC One will probably continue to be more and more highly respected as the best of the best.
I can seriously see this becoming a movie, as “Eddie the Eagle” did. The movie writes itself with Rachel’s interesting backstory. Then show the world mocking her, but end on an inspirational note about “having a go”.
@@Repomidnight fun fact. After the Eddie the Eagle debacle, a rule was made which gave birth to Olympic qualification. It is known as the “Eddie the Eagle Rule.”
@@cptafw Interesting. But that raises the question as to how she qualified with this rule in place. I guess that’s the issue with subjective judging. And this type of performance is highly subjective.
Raygun a proud member of the Barukian Olympics (MadTV).
The people saying she's an embarrassment to Australia, aren't real Aussies. she so iconic, some people just don't get it. love her hahah💚💛
