My father used to be a breakdancer. Unfortunately, a freak accident occurred when he was attempting a move and he paralyzed himself waist down. For the last 20 years, he was stuck in a wheelchair and had to watch breaking from the TV. He was complaining how he was better than the dancers they put out. Until he saw Raygun's Olympic performance. Her art moved my father so deeply that he miraculously got up from his wheelchair, walked to the window, and jumped off a 50-story building. Credit to Raygun for giving my father his legs back.

As an American looking at this from an Ex B-Boy perspective. Her performance was absolutely degrading to the culture, history, and all the athletes.

If embracing her is in fact they're choice Australia should be barred from ever competing in it again. Also, since the 2028 LA Olympics are in the here and they're is no confirmed Breaking event to be announced that shows that this might have been set-up to be done on purpose thus sabotaging this sport in future.
