    I’m so astounded by this story. A dancing art that began in the streets by poor minorities because of pure boredom, went to red bull sponsoring competitions along with other worldwide competitions sponsored by other companies, ending with an entitled, conceited, smug, white, rich, uppity, phd professor that single-handily destroyed any future on a world wide platform FOR THE ENTIRE genre. That’s something that someone who hated breaking couldn’t plan this. It’s as if people felt disrespected simply because they watched her dance. That takes skill

      This is the best take on this whole situation I came across. She indeed did it. She destroyed the whole genre of dancing/art. I believe it was the only chance for break dance to be seen for the global audience and look what happened. Now people think about it like a pathetic, silly, ridiculous, absolutely despicable form of "sport" for untalented losers. And the story behind it, OMG 😱 she should be prosecuted, she should be in jail for what she did.

      When Raugunn got a score of 0 (zero), that said it all on the world stage. Raygunn should have said I hurt myself practicing, and will not be able to compete in the Olympics. That way Australia would have bowed out gracfully from the competion. Instead the world got to see Ms. Raygunn get a score of zero, and embarrass Australia at the same time. Think about it, Ms. RayGunn would have got the same score if she competed, or not. That's how good her routine was. Now her routine will go down in infamy for being a joke routine. Hey remember when Australia got a big fat zero in break dancing during the Olympics? Yeah, they could replaced Ms. RayGunn with someone about to have an Epileptic seizure, and that individual would have performed better than Ms. RayGunn.

      Yes, the worst thing she could have did was tell everybody that she "worked her butt off" to train for the Olympics and she did her best. As a result of the controversy that she created, the category of breakdancing will not be continued in the Olympics for the next games. Let's be honest here...she teaches breakdancing for a living and is paid to be the "expert" in that area...she wanted to put "Olympian" on her resume and bio, that's all, which she already did.

    I’ve heard this called “Princess Syndrome”, and it’s a good title for it from what I see. We see it with some Swifties as well… people that can only see themselves(or those they see themselves in) as a “hero” or a “victim”. She truly believes that she is “good”, because she decided to change the standard to be what she wants it to be(one that favors her), instead of adhering to the existing standard. But then if you don’t like it, “you must be a misogynist!” (This then fuels the social movements to further support her)
    This mentality is scary and it comes from having an abundance of privileged opportunity, but with no accountability or expectations. We can’t sit and tell young girls that they can “do or be anything they want”, but at the same time, have no expectations for how they then participate. (In fact, this is called “prejudice of lowered expectations”)
    She has subsided in delusion, and only surrounds herself with those whom will validate her delusions(and it’s mind blowing how many will)… and then they all protect her from ever having to face reality. It’s really pretty scary actually, even for her sake! Especially when people like this gain a place of “power”, and then gatekeep opportunity with and for their own delusions…

      If you look at the judges scoring for SpRayguns rounds she did score a grand total of 2 votes combined in all her rounds and of those 2 votes she was one of the highest rated of all the B-Girls at the Olympics. That’s a win in anyone’s book, right? 😂😂😂😂

Then having it the Olympics would show off the artistry and athleticism - But it only took one Ray-Gun to sink i's potential - Too bad Skateboarding and Snowboarding had to start somewhere and now their highly rated Olympic sports. - Keep at it B-girls and B-boys - don't let this be a setback. - If the Olympics can have Rhythmic gymnastics they can make room for B-dancing (which is closer to Gymnastics if done properly.)

    Next breaking is highly physical. More physical than I'd say 99.9% of viewers have ever been in theor lives. Raygun failed to work out in the gym to strengthen and condition her body to perform power moves. What she did do was basically contemporary dance classes, which is so lame it's a travesty.

    In all honesty, if she never did this performance, I would’ve thought she was pretty cool. Being a professor and a top ranked break dancer on the side is metal af
