“She Shouldn’t Be An Olympian!” Mike Graham On Aussie Breakdancer’s Mocked Routine

[@LordWalsallian]

Breakdancing isn’t a bloody sport 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@DavidZiggyJiggyBowie]

Absolutely not, it's a hobby. Dancing is a hobby.

[@Bob-ts2tu]

so many of the new olympic events both summer and winter are aimed at the short attention span playstation generation, they make even more of a mockery of the already woke and ridiculous olympic comittee. I'm not saying some of these games don't have skill, but put them where they belong, in the x-games.

If breakdancing is supposed to be a sport, then why isn't morris dancing, tap dancing, limbo dancing, etc??? 💃🕺👯

It's on peacock. That's where I watched it when it was live, and the whole competition is still available to watch. It hasn't been taken down. The routine as a whole wasn't as bad as the clips, but it was still really bad. They dance in more than one round, and as I recall, one of them was much worse than the others.

She is the best women's breakdancer in all of Australia. When people think about Australian dancing or Australia at the Olympics they will think of her. I don't understand why everyone is so upset. She is the victim. At some point over the last 15 years someone needed to tell her the truth. They just kept on egging her on until the Olympics and now everyone is acting shocked that she didn't score any points. I mean if they used the same points system at the Qualifications as at the Olympics then why did she score zero at the Olympics? Did the judges unfairly judge her? I didn't see another Breaker with her moves. They were all doing headspins, backflips, handstands, windmills, etc but nobody was doing the Kangaroo hop or whatever she was doing on the ground.
