[@standdownrobots_ihaveoldglory]

If you saw him later smiling with his team, he just looks like a sweet & very handsome middle aged professional. Target shooters are intense in competition, but are pretty cool people. Out in the western USA, you even find people who got into competitive shooting because they are too kind hearted for hunting (which is a lot less mean than the beef industry, btw, but does take a certain detachment) but love guns. The people who love guns only when it’s extremely unlikely they’ll hurt another living being, those are the best people around.

I tried to compete in one of the breaking qualifiers here in America 3 years agoand I gave up pretty much immediately. There was a $95 annual fee to be ELIGIBLE to compete, $20 entry per event, of which there were many per year around the country. You had to pay for your own travel, lodging, and food, and THEN you had to fly YOURSELF overseas MULTIPLE TIMES to gain "points" in other olympic prequalifiers. Woman from Australia competed once. And SHE was in charge of the competition she won. Suuuuuuuper happy for Ami and Phil Wizard for winning the Gold medals! Homegirl in question literally created her spot and was never audited.

TLDR on what happened with Miss Raygun: - The World Dance Sport Federation, a BALLROOM dancing authority, wanted to have ballroom as a sport. - IOC said no, thats lame, we want something cool to appeal to the youth, how about breakdancing?" - WDSF said "bet, we can be in charge of that", despite having literally nothing to do with breakdancing. - WSDF delegates to their Aussie affiliate, DanceSport Australia. Another ballroom authority, no ties to breaking. - DSA has absolutely no fcking idea what they're doing, so they defer to Rachel Gunn, a former ballroom/ballet dancer with a PhD that focusses on cultural elements within breaking. - Rachel's husband runs the Australian Breaking Association, which despite its official sounding name is only a local org and extremely tiny, it has less than 30 members. - This tiny association is given complete control over the Australian Olympic breaking qualifying tournament. It consists of only their members. Including Rachel. No national call out is made, no other breakers from outside this small community in Sydney are invited or made aware it is even happening - Thanks to complete lack of oversight or responsibility from the IOC, AOC, and DSA. Rachel "Raygun" Gunn wins this tiny comp of hobbyist breaking run by her husbands club, and becomes an Olympian repping the entire country. Memes ensue.

[@communityconnection19]

Well researched!

[@ElaineLoyd]

To summarize she slept her way to the Olympics because the oversight committees didn't care

[@frizzlethecat2084]

In that case, I'm just happy about the result. Nepotism (and incompetence) should not be rewarded

[@OBNOXIOUSBLA13]

​@ElaineLoyd it's definitely nepotism and 100% happened because breaking isn't given the same cultural dignity on the world stage (and we all know why) but technically this isn't a 'slept their way to the top" situation as she was likely already sleeping with her husband before all this started, but again Definitely Nepotism.

[@kelmac1618]

okay this is going to sound unrelated, but in cribbage a zero point hand has a nickname a 19 hand, because its impossible to get 19 points in the game. you can get anything from 1-18, 20-24, 28 or 29, but not 19. i bring this up as when bored playing with family, sometimes we change the rules up to change the game. one change up is if you get a zero hand you actually get to take the 19 points. so my aunts strategy with this change up is if she had a low hand to discard so she has zero points. and then when the deck is cut she'll end up with a pair or Knibbs and not zero points, and she'll have thrown away points for nothing. so i am confirming sometimes to get zero points is in fact hard work.

with the australian “breakdancer”, if you look into how she got to the olympics; she basically nominated herself. her husband is a breakdancer and owner of an australian breakdancing company. when breakdancing got added to the olympics, the australian committee outsourced the qualification process to a third party australian company; that lady’s husband’s company. she “won” events in australia (judged by her husband and friends) where less than 10 women showed up so technically she qualified for the olympics.

Yeah, an object lesson that it is not a great idea to cheat your way onto the global stage without being nearly good enough to impress people with what you are doing. I write music but I don't have a steady band that performs regularly and this would be like if I blagged my way onto the bill at Madison Square Garden supporting a major touring act after a week's rehearsal with a new band I pretended to have been with for years. That would....not go well.

The best part of Raygun's routine was her yawning while the other dancer was dancing.

[@Kragar01]

@@ShamikoTrussoh it’s much worse than that…she and her husband run a small break dancing organisation, they were basically put in charge of the olympic selection authority for Australia for breakdancing. They hosted a small pretty much local competition of about 10 or 15 people. Ray Gun competes in the event and wins. Icing on the cake her coach and husband was a judge for it.

[@juliad6847]

As someone who did track and field I can answer some of the questions about pole vaulting. 1. Lowkey no one is entirely sure how more people don’t die doing pole vault considering at a lot of high schools it requires a separate wavier bc the regular one (yk the one that’s enough for football) isn’t strong enough. A really big part of early pole vault training is not hitting the pole on the way down 2. There’s a little notch that the poles basically lock into, if the athlete messes up and doesn’t get the pole in the lock properly (counting your strides is a really integral part of this) then they can’t vault 3. The poles are made out fiberglass so not only are they extremely flexible, but even at the middle school level you can adjust how bendy, long, and heavy the pole is to fit your preference, so while they do sometimes snap it’s more like a rubber band snapping then like breaking a stick over your knee

[@UnknownVir]

a kid who wasn't authorized to vault tried while the instructor was talking to someone else and broke his arm it's all about learning all the ways to minimize an inherently dangerous activity

[@smartmarketing173]

Thx I had no idea. I did track but literally only obsessed over the 50-75-100 yd dash lol
