No one is giving hate. Just because someone doesn’t agree with you doesn’t mean it’s hate. You took an honored and cherished event and turned it into something that had nothing to do with skill. I think Australia should answer for this.

[@VivaToddVegas]

LOTS of people are giving hate. They accuse her of ruining Olympic breakdancing, which isn’t true. They accuse her of scamming her way into the Olympics, which isn’t true. Lots of Olympians had bad performances in many different sports. Someone has to come in first, someone has to come in last. That’s how Olympic competition works. She already lost her event and suffered defeat (like many other athletes). Why does she need a bunch of knobheads from the internet mocking her for losing?

its so insanely insensitive to have apparently spent years studying dance culture and not care that she took an amazing / possibly life changing opportunity from a real dancer... it doesn't matter that she "gave it her all" she should have known that her "all" is no where near good enough. She should apologize to the australian dancers for the way she represented them so poorly. SHE IS NOT A DANCER OR AN ATHLETE and it is really arrogant that she pretends to be. Her lack of shame and incredible entitlement is beyond shocking. The more she talks she just demonstrates that she either doesn't know or doesn't care that she was not qualified and did not deserve to be in that competition... and her lack of skill made her a poor representative for her country.

It’s frustrating to see someone so unskilled and disconnected from the true essence of breakdancing representing us in the Olympics. Breakdancing is not just a sport; it’s a cultural art form with deep roots and significant technical demands. Having someone who lacks both the skill and cultural understanding compromises the authenticity and integrity of our representation on such a global stage. It’s crucial for athletes in niche sports to not only excel technically but also to connect with the cultural heritage of their discipline to truly honor the sport and its community.

Honestly, Raygun's spectacularly ignominious performance (that landed her ZERO points in the competition) eclipsed the news of the real Australian athletes winning Olympic medals!

The Olympics is not about "participating", it is about "competing and winning".
