It's was on the WOMANS team, that a WOMEN humiliated HERself and HER country and made a mockery of a sport that a serious amount of young MEN train to spin through the air like nureyev. And then a FEMALE aussie olympic committee member literally cried misogyny on television. When you watch the MEN dance, it's sad to watch the women because it's just not exciting in any way. In this case, her gender had everything to do with it. I don't know why feminists won't lobby to strike male and female words from law and require human instead. For real equality is not the objective. I'm no misogynist because I have a Mother aunts and grandmothers. The word feminist has become synonymous with misandry. It's toxic. Perhaps find another word to describe how you feel. That word has been hijacked. And our gender differences are what make us a whole and beautiful species. No hot guy would ever date a feminist.

[@Crusade1982]

Since I had the Raygun Drama back in my KZbin feed, I went around and looked at performances from Australian B-Girls and then went to the B-Girl world championship. Just to name a few, Syssy, 671, Ami, Logistix. They are all on a completely different skill level. There are worlds in terms of skill between them and Australian B-Girls. Olympics are about competition and not sending people into a slaughterhouse. Raygun knew she had no chance of winning with her skills, so she tried to be original. But like that she made Australia the laughingstock of the 2024 Olympics and stole the fame every other Australian athlete would have gotten. The judges should have never sent Raygun and probably not Holy Moly to the Olympics. I don’t want to hurt someone’s feelings, but they are not good enough to get a single point in a fair competition as long as the other B-Girl doesn’t injure herself and drops out.

I'm tired of people saying breakdancing is not an Olympic sport. It requires a lot of strength and muscle control and flexibility to do what they do and especially if you are timing it to the beat of a song. The average person would not be able to pull the dance moves they are doing and there were some skilled gymnasts struggling with their moves especially the flares, head spins, and bodyweight moves like levitation that they do in breaking. Just because they make it seem easy does not mean that the average person is athletic enough or skilled to do those moves.
