​@@George2647gGreat attitude knowing she's bad but went out there anyway? Are u joking? Imagine if this happened in any other olympic sport. What a joke. She shouldn't have been there full stop.

[@George2647g]

@@thortsright. And yet she was. Just for a moment put yourself in her shoes knowing that the whole world is going to laugh at you and yet still give it your best. I respect that big time. It’s not her fault australias bgirl scene is so bad.

[@soundbycozzyIII]

@@George2647gif I was in her shoes i would let someone who’s actually good go to the olympics tff

[@kev2the]

She should never judge breaking at all. She is basically William Hung of Breakdancing.

[@101spacemonkey]

Honestly i loved her performance. She has got eyes on it and that is brilliant

[@marcblair3781]

The fact that she was in "Breaking 101" and won that BEGINNER competition then somehow went to a olympic-qualifier match(in which she judged one round)...the other judges were completely biased towards her. Molly was 1000x better....but still not Olympic level

[@phajeb001]

The dude said she was the best one 😂 I’m crying, I need to aim higher in life…lols

[@js6079]

Just because somone says, oh you're good at that...that doesn't mean you actually are.....

[@andre9191]

All her students wanted to pass, so they told her she was good.

[@Talkingdaisy-no6nu]

Too many “yes” people around her 😬

[@brodiestephens419]

Yeah a bunch of my friends told me I should go on Masterchef.... because I'm a good cook and better than other people they know. I'm self-aware enough to know I'm NOWHERE NEAR good enough to get even close to winning. There's levels to being "good at cooking". Unlike Raygun.... I did NOT listen to my friends, because I KNOW I'm just "fairly good compared to the average person"..... as opposed to "one of the best in the world and should definitely be in the Olympics." 😅😅😅

[@sirsillybilly]

Her ‘students’ are all looking at the ground hoping their CCP friends back home don’t see the footage of their humiliation ritual in achieving glorious citizenship test.

[@travybear2463]

A PhD on breakdancing?! CLOWNS

[@1lanno]

Yep. Watching Master Chef does not make me a good cook.

[@germaincristobal5143]

😂😂😂😂 breakdance for dummies

[@magicmulder]

Just like a PhD in musical history doesn’t mean you have to be able to play the piano on concert pianist level. There’s nothing wrong witha PhD, just with thinking that makes you a practical expert.

[@jonathanwright5550]

Yep unis say they haven't gone mad...

[@wolfman_jagermeistro8445]

Education system is a joke.

[@platoonutzeyz88]

I like how the Australian sent a comedian to a break dancing competition lol

[@steflynn7772]

How is anyone ever going to take her seriously as a breakdancer prof again? She should look at a career change I’m gathering after all this. Cause all she showed is that money and connections in Australia gets you to the Olympics than actually talent

[@alancrossley509]

Played the entitlement card and now the victim card. She is as vain as they come with zero self awareness.

[@Repomidnight]

It seriously brought the Olympics into disrepute. Not the event as a whole, but the fact that someone so average could be an olympian. If this was Australia’s best, Australia shouldn’t have been allowed entry.

[@moontheory176]

No it hasn’t? You sound like an angry little incel. Go outside and touch some grass

[@beufis6979]

lmfao, she's better than you

[@ZoMbi5lAy3r]

She failed to score any points and the better competitors won over her in the end. It's not the Olympics fault that no other Australians apparently signed up for the competition

[@thechaseisbetter]

Free trip to Paris, free merch, free food and board. tons of media coverage, went viral with her performance. I think she won. Just not a medal 😅

[@George2647g]

The whole wotkd laughing at you? No thanks. But respect to her for doing it in the face of that

[@aimstar11]

She’s already gaining thousands of IG followers since last night - she’ll either media-milk this out or quietly disappear 🤨

[@Jimmy911ism]

Absolutely she has won. All of what you said, future interviews for big $$… She was clearly trolling. She could have tried harder and just failed, but she’s deliberately made herself into a meme.

[@sirfrancis9619]

She won't famous though........she will be infamous!!

Sad how people are selling their dignity for short term fame.

“I’m doing things I never thought I’d be able to do.” No, Rachael, you still can’t do these things.

[@Ryan-tw6ch]

😂😂

[@charlesw852]

Not only has she been instrumental in ensuring it won’t be back at the Olympics for the foreseeable, she has made it look so astonishingly uncool, that this entire generation of kids will be turned off. I reckon Morris Dancing has more street cred at the moment.

[@bloochoob]

How can anyone fall for this, it’s obviously a long extended satirical comedy sketch, and she’s staying in character and many people are falling for it 😂😂😂

[@theinnocentdirector]

I don’t understand how Australia sent Rachel over Molly? This injustice needs to be looked into.

I'm guessing money

[@vickiliu8730]

The coach could be her close family or friends relations.

[@steflynn7772]

Money and connections

[@peterwong2962]

She conned a free trip to Paris. Why talk about her PHD?

[@erwankervella6795]

She took the spot from a talented kid who deserved it.

[@leoem4nuel]

She won the Oceania Qualification for the olympic. If you think it's unfair, you should take it up to the World Dance Sport Federation who organized the qualification, not Raygun.

[@MonoSoundMag]

I think Australians are the most nice people in the world. Nobody want to tell her the truth. Thats kind of nice.

[@Power_Fantastic]

LMAO @ Australia for sending her to the Olympics

[@tkatrich3]

Please we are (expletive) embarrassed enough.😢

[@EDungarian]

She single handedly removed the competition from the 2028 Olympics lol

[@multioptioned]

Breaking was only ever a once off demonstration "sport". Was never scheduled for 2028 or beyond.

[@SleepDeprivedMatt]

theory =/= skill, this is the prime example of that

[@daigratia]

I think your comment is misleading. If she taught breaking or breakdancing in a vocational or performance arts school, e.g. Juilliard, then yes, your point stands. Her main field of study is basically a mixture of media studies, cultural studies, and history. She mainly studied & did research on the culture & history of breakdancing.

[@PaddyBoyBKLYN]

​​@@daigratia Nothing misleading about the comment.

[@edwardbaker1451]

@@daigratiayou don't know what theory means, it seems.

[@daigratia]

​​​​​@@edwardbaker1451 I know just enough to differentiate between carpentry & masonry and architectural & structural engineering. Again, she didn't get her degree by studying & researching the theory of how to do breaking or breakdancing. That's what's certainly misleading to me _here_ .

Should have sent Molly I guess.

[@matthewishunting]

Her husband being the coach is all we need to know....

“Motivating young girls and boy”. 😂 she literally stole their dream away by getting the sport removed from the Olympics

[@birandhashem94]

It’s 100% okay to say that someone is not good. Did no one ever tell her that she is not Olympic level?

[@PaddyBoyBKLYN]

Shes not even good enough to dance on a street corner with a tip jar, unless its a comedy skit.

Because of Raygun who apparently has a PhD in dancing, I’ve finally convinced myself that Jojo Siwa is undeniably a great dancer.
