Hey Everyone! You may notice that at two points in the video there is an abrupt cut when she is talking and then in my analysis I talk about something we did not see or hear. I ran into some trouble with copyright because as she was talking they showed brief clips of her at the Olympics and those moments had to be removed from my video. As such, here is what she said in the moments that were cut out. at 9:38 after she talks about how one of the judges explained that what she did wasn't that shocking she adds "It’s just a different approach in breaking. You have the athletic style breakers, you also have the more artistic style breakers and all of them are very valid" 18:54 when she's asked if she knew it was going to be rough and answers “I knew my chances were slim” she then adds "as soon as I qualified I was like “oh my gosh, What Have I done?” Because I knew I was gonna get beaten and I knew that people weren’t going to understand My style and what I was going to do." those are the only things that had to be removed.

This is why I'm always coming back to you channel. Your effort and the your precision of your work are remarkable. The transparency is in the air 🤓 I love to learn from your videos! ❤

[@eat.food.not.friends]

Imagine a figure skater who can't do any jumps, just concentates on creativity and originality. Other figure skaters do triple Axels, but she shows up at the Olympics, showing us that she can drive backwards and do a few easy spins, but she keeps telling us "That's just my style!" It is ridiculous. Come on.... If she were able to do the difficult stuff like power moves, she would do it, but she can't. Or is she trying to tell us that she could do it but doesn't because it's not her style? Who is she trying to fool except for herself?!?!

[@DarfCuddles69]

rarely does commercial TV show skaters 6-10. or the host country that is automatically given a spot and doesn't have to qualify. you get a lot more artistic than jumps. Especially with the old system. some argue now that it is ice jumping versus figure skating.

[@eat.food.not.friends]

@@DarfCuddles69 I get it. But that's the point. There are the jumps, and there is the artistic stuff. But a very good figure skater does all of it. (Watch spidy's first video on Raygun, and then you understand what I am talking about) An elite figure skater wouldn't concentrate on just one aspect of figure skating and completely neglect another aspect. A top figure skater works on the whole package, and the top figure skaters, the best of the best, master all aspects of it. Both the athleticism, as well as Creativity, musicality, precision. None of them would compete at the Olympics without showing any jumps, and focus exclusively on the aspect of creativity and originality. And if this fictional figure skater is also clumsy and somehow embarrassing, then it wouldn't be easy to explain with just "that's my style!" "Learning to jump at my age is really hard! That's why I just gave up."

[@DarfCuddles69]

@eat.food.not.friends I've watched the prior videos. I've been quite fascinated over the whole thing. I think her plan just faced the wrath of social media. As a comparison- back in the day with ice dancers Torviill and Dean and their Bolero long program. It won them the gold, but it minimally bent the rules and was way way less technical than the rest. Beautiful, different, unique, and never seen before. And still pretty controversial to this day within the sport. Dean was even quoted recently saying “We did a lot of long lines and lyrical movements, and it was more about a passion than about being a technical exercise."

I am not sure she understands that people's comments on her performance are not "mean", they are just observations of people who have a sight and common sense. The comments are not there because of people's lack of understanding of breakdance, or because people are evil, they are there because none of us can comprehend how all of this could have happened. She is nowhere near those breakdancers that represented their countries with pride at the Olympics. Compared to them, the first thing I thought was "am I not understanding the joke?". So I really don't think she knows exactly what we are trying to say. Not to be mean, but out of respect for all the brilliant and talented b-boys and b-girls who are now overshadowed by whatever this situation escalated to, thanks to Raygun.

[@karenvermeulen3981]

So, I did some digging, and from what I understand, she used to be a ballroom dancer. The ballroom dancing society has been trying to get ballroom dancing into the Olympics as a sport. It couldn't Then, as an In into the Olympics, they started pushing break dancing to be included, and this ballroom dancing society set up this Oceans comp that Raygun won. But you had to be a member of this society to enter. Not many did, and Raygun won. It seems to me that she has done well as she is in a weird bubble of people with money who belong to this Ballroom dance society competing. But it's a bubble. A real breaker wouldn't be doing those comps and wouldn't belong to the ballroom dancing society. Also, Aus is huge; breakers who live far away would not have been able to compete. And she has a PhD in breaking, so everyone probably assumes that she knows what she is doing. The really interesting part is actually all the people around her who were training her, who saw that routine and supported her. Now, that psychology I'd be interested in. And one las thing, sorry it's not artistic or creative. It's just not. 🤯

[@hollybrooke322]

So she bought her way in. How on earth do you get a phd in breaking. That’s so stupid!! It’s for years old and not something that’s so in-depth you need years of intense study and a phd to be an expert. Delusional. The entire “bubble” is delusional.

[@AnnaO-ef5jv]

Thank you for this insightful analysis of the background that led to Raygun's qualification for the Olympics. That is one of the biggest aspects of this debacle that never added up for me. You have presented very pertinent information about how the selection process can be so glaringly and embarrassingly manipulated.

[@jesusisallineed598]

Thanks for doing the digging because I really considered it strange that she could win any competition to qualify for the Olympics. What you said makes perfect sense.

[@KH-ch9wz]

I used to dance in Melbourne Australia. I know that was then and should be more/better younger breakers or just hip hop style dancers who are light years better than her. Australia might not have the OG culture that created breaking, but social media would definitely expose interested parties towards breaking. Melbourne & Sydney are have strong ethnically diverse populations that should have breakers better than Rachel, who is a 35yo. Her performance was embarrassing and unnecessarily laughable.

[@amandamandamands]

Yep AusBreaking (the association that WDSF partnered with to run the Oceania qualifier) has only existed since 2019. Her husband is her coach and he can't do power moves either and like Raygun does extra unusual footwork to get the points to get through. I have seen a couple of people say that Raygun has better musicality than Holy Molly so she ends up beating her because Molly loses her musicality going in and out of her power moves.

Confident humility (admitting and learning from your mistakes) is much more healthy, beneficial, and attractive than stubborn, arrogant delusion.

I agree and to be fair to the girl, I don’t like analyzing someone actions and all that but I assume this guy means well, but for Raygun sake too, she can’t be acting like this and just have this false sense of bravado. Truth was she was terrible or in nicer words not good enough. IDK/we don’t know her personal life that she seems to have a narcissistic vibes, but it’s clear people around her suck up to her and are afraid to make her upset. And I agree if she just take even some accountability and andit she wasn’t good enough and her performance was not good, people would have a bit more respect. And she can still defend her skill and say she will be stronger. Also we don’t know the full details or never know, but she did qualify whether there was possible collusion from her part, but she did qualify and that is probably from the poor organization and competition in her country. There probably were better dancers, but during the competition there wasn’t anyone else that better than her. Her narcissism and lack of accountability is still really bad and what makes people upset. People make mistakes and will do something like she did and I get it’s hard to take hate that I also feel has gotten over the top and so toxic in todays world. But you understood that risk and have to accept it and move kn and try to be as better as possible in life.

It's not too different to why people are upset about academic fraud if you're familiar with it. Huh, she is actually an academic too. > So its move on time It's not your call to make, especially when you haven't demonstrated the ability to understand why everyone is upset.

The worst thing about her is she's not a genuine person. She embodies the fake positivity that is prevalent in our times. She continues to cleverly wordsmiths her answers and dodge questions. She knew some of the judges and was involved in the selection process. Despite "winning" the competition she knew she didn't belong at the olympics and couldn't compete, so she instead did something that would give her attention. Ironically she got what wanted and at the same time got what she deserved.

[@ms.undastoodsreality6006]

She didn't answer his question when he asked her did she know anybody involved in the judging. Because she did know one of the judges. He didn't ask her if they had judged her before.

[@jesusisallineed598]

In answering whether she thinks she's the best, she answers in what I'd call the American Idol Effect... where many untalented people compete because their families and close friends have told them they're the best. Objective assessment goes out the window until they're confronted with qualified expert judges. We hear the expression "reimagine" a lot today especially in the academic community, where older, commonly accepted standards are thrown out.

[@TheBehavioralArts]

Great comparison!

[@v.ndeadd]

In my opinion , when she said she won't be competing any time soon, I didn't feel like she said so because she started understanding that she didn't have the skill, but I felt like she said so because "people don't get me so I won't show myself to people". As if "you lost your chance to appreciate me, world!". She didn't mention anything related to refining her overall skills or reflecting on this experience, but she focused on "I am glad I can breakdance now for myself without people judging me" sort of. What do you think?

[@amandamandamands]

Honestly I think her aim was to get to the Olympics, she has done that and as far as breakers go she is really old so she wasn't going to be competing for much longer anyway.

[@KSharpIAm]

I agree. She hasn't demonstrated any authentic self awareness and humility. It's odd. She would be much more liked if she were humble and admitted she fully understands our perspective and that if she could redo it, she would train more before a competition as big as the Olympics and leave the spots for more deserving breakers.

Haha I would love to re-subscribe for hearing " dodgy " used correctly. I think, its pretty clear there was something in the selection process that she was aware of that wasn't exactly on board, and hearing the judge from NZ openly state they knew she would get smashed, means that the whole rumour around there not being enough notice time for the actual qualifier so perhaps enough " competition " didn't actually show up to show Raygun she actually isn't the best in Australia also has some truth to it, Along with you have continuously stated she has a confidence issue and suspect she knew she wasn't olympic level which would also go through with a lot of peoples assumptions recently that she knew she wasn't gonna win so she just did an absolutely bonkers routine as an F U to the sport in general. Great analysis as per usual Spidey, keep it up mate.

[@hollybrooke322]

People who would have beat her were not allowed to compete.

[@amandamandamands]

I haven't been able to find info about how much notice was given for the competition, I did find the entry requirements though - hold a valid and subsisting passport of the country represented; - be a Member of the WDSF NMB of the respective country; - hold a WDSF Athletes’ Member ID Number (MIN); and - hold a valid and subsisting WDSF Athletes’ License. So if it was a short notice competition if you didn't already have a passport then you were out and then you needed to join the World Dance Sport Federation (who usually are ballroom) and the other requirements within that association. Zero idea of how much time and money it would take to meet those requirements. The competition was in Sydney over 2 days, so if you didn't live in Sydney there are those additional costs (Raygun lives in Sydney).

If somebody is grandiose or egotistical and full of themselves and that's really how they feel they're not a narcissist it's just narcissistic style or trait. True narcissists (npd) are insecure toddlers who are all allergic to feeling shame. The grandiosity in egotism is just a mask that when reflected back is what they're in love with. "Oh I'm flute in French in Italian." In reality has a tenuous grasp of the English language but due to your base rate bias you believe it and you say wow that's amazing you're so smart. that's the reflection of the mask that they love with. Because they're so ashamed of how dumb they are they need external validation to tell them they're smart. if you really want to get a grasp of it you can always be narcissistically abused by one intimate relationship or check out Sam vaknin.

And she believes that what she does is so good that it can be compared to the power moves of other breakers.

Thanks for this one . Great chance to see the body language we see only bits of often

You’re the most honest person and not mean but good heavens this lady is totally convinced she’s the best and we are the ones who don’t understand her style. For me she seems to think the problem lies with us. Her body language make me uncomfortable and I have difficulty explaining my thoughts, without getting mean and defensive. Thank you for another video about her. I personally since the beginning, questioned her ability to have represented Australia at the olympics. The olympics for me means something extraordinary and I have tremendous respect for the athletes but I was flabbergasted with her from day one. And because of her performance and the response it feels as if people are making openly fun off her and she is to “delulu” to see it.

Hey Spidey, it's Vincent (Gringo). I hope you're doing well? I wanted to let you know that I'm delighted for you and the success you've accomplished! To answer your question, I think another key aspect here is the fact that she holds a PhD on breakdancing. She's clearly part of that elite university bubble that functions outside of normal society. Very similar to the political elite, Hollywood, big pharma etc...

@@GreedyGrom you know what I mean. It's a PhD on breakdancing.

Hi I commented on the duck tape banana money laun.... So now, ... I'm sorry for that comment, I feel it sounds negative. Thank you for teaching us, you're indirectly teaching us honesty, good manners and how to behave or judge someone without being mean.
