@@ChangedMyNameFinally69lol my mom says this all the time. She hates that only pros compete. Says it’s all about brand endorsements and celebrity athletes now.
Can I just conduct a conversation regarding the price of train tickets? It’s fukcing disgraceful and I am not prepared to settle easy on it. I’m fuming. I’m absolutely fuming let alone bewildered.
Right?! I thought I was being harsh when I thought, "She looks like Dad on laundry day." I'm glad I'm not the only one cringing at the wardrobe selection.
Her husband judged her qualifier and she's the head of the governing body of Aus breakdance SHE CREATED and this is an example of "Truth is stranger than fiction". Explains everything.
The fact that she said when she recovers she'll "be writing about it" was all I needed to hear to understand what was going on here. When I did, it sobered me up pretty quickly because before that I've been laughing so hard I couldn't breathe.
Nepotism and access garnered her the spot. It's priceless, especially at a time when the world is scrutinizing how easy some people in our society have access without proper experience or training. Clout gave her the opportunity and then her ties tried to spin the back story as if she needed defending. She scored 0000's. People rightfully argued why weren't more communities included in this sport. You send your best to the Olympics. Everyone else participates at the social level, in town.
I’m not Australian, but I am a woman. If I fucking suck at something I certainly hope people have enough respect for me to tell me I’m terrible. I mean how incredibly patronizing. “It’s fine if she’s bad, she’s a girl so it’s okay.” Like, what??
There should be a criminal investigation opened up on how her husband was the judge that got her into the Olympics and subsequently denied actual skilled breakdancers from ever being able to compete there again!
As olimpiadas tiraram sim a oportunidade de vários atletas competentes de participar, aqueles que jogam Futebol de Salão, Futebol de areia, Jiu Jitsu, Karatê, Beisebol. Isso aí é uma dança de rua, não um esporte.
She did qualify for the team, did she not? Take a chill pill, you don't understand the sheer joy she brought to the average viewer......who all figured they could have done that!!
The reason they didn't get that chance is because "Breaking" is actually a sport developed and Sponsored by the International Ballroom Dancing Federation, which it did because it failed to get Ballroom Dancing in the Olympics. So it is only represented by associations affiliated with that Federation. The International Competitive Breakdancing scene is NOT represented by them, so most legitimate breakdancers were never given the change to qualify. Gunn, who was a ballroom dancer, founded the Australian chapter of the federation in 2019, obviously to get to the Olympics and exploit the 15 minutes of fame.
Exactly. A hint of corruption lies within the Australian Olympic management, it's so blatant she got through with connections and then to perform a smack -to -head performance to the talent wanting to go. A pathetic shambles.
@@Foul_Quince Why do I have to learn this from a RU-vid comment and not from the host @SkyNews ? Thanks for pointing me (us) in an interesting direction
This is a Disrespect to Our culture!! How can you have our cultural Dance & Not have 1 Foundational Black American Creator as the Judge of this Competition!! Break dancing is a dance of soul in our culture and she made a mockery of our culture like France made a mockery of Christ! This Olympics is Garbage.
The Olympics isn’t meant to “have a crack at it”. It’s for the best of the best of that country. Australia made a fool of itself with letting her “compete”.

Facts bro, you know how much undiscovered talent there is out there! Like you said only the more connected get those chances. It’s almost how it’s easier to recommended for a job instead of dropping countless applications.
@mikec695 so you are telling me that there was no single B-girl that was better than her. Not even ONE. It's either the judges that were terribly wrong or corrupted or Australia has not even one talented B-girl. I highly doubt the latter.
It involves a athletic kinesthetic intelligence that takes years to master and requires a person to be in excellent mental and physical condition to be able to perform the moves the most precise to the timing of the beat. I don't know what happened here but it needs to be investigated.
@@westym8935 I’m sure there are many, many people in Australia, capable of *outstanding* breakdancing. . . I guess she was the only one who tried out??
As an American who happens to also be a Hip-Hop artist and educator, It's really nice to see a news journalist address the audience and approach a topic such as this with clear, common sense commentary. Well done.
@@Steve-cm2ysSteve. You are corny. Please stop leaving comments on RU-vid. It’s just not for you cornball. Just like breakdancing shouldn’t be mimicked by culture vultures.
The Olympics in France were a disgrace in terms of culture, civilization, sport and organization. It is the worst, most humiliating Olympics in history.
The only reason she got zero is because the rules didn’t allow the judges to give her a negative score. That was a colossal embarrassment that made a mockery of the event. She pretty much single-handedly ensured that breakdancing will never appear in the Olympics again.
EXACTLY. She destroyed the sport she pretends to love and made it a joke on a global scale. If it was unintentional, she shouldn't have been there in the first place. If it was intentional, she is genuinely an evil human being.
The Olympic judges gave her 0 votes. Aussies on their couches gave her 0 votes. The world gave her 0 votes. Yet we are all been labelled for commenting that this individual had no talent in break dancing, when the only thing that is apparent is that we all witnessed vicarious embarrassment.
I’m blk idc if she’s white as long as she can dance same with rap blk people created these things it’s an insult when the person can’t do it an tries to to it
@@blakearth If she had been at the Olympics to provide entertainment after the competition (such as the figure skating exhibition show after that sport's competition), that would have been okay. She had no business being a competitor, though, and not because she's a woman. There aren't so few talented female break dancers nowadays. I've seen far better on "So You Think You Can Dance" over many seasons -- the least of those competitors was 100 times better than Raygun.
She's literally gaslighting everyone by calling her painful-to-watch performance "misinformation" - telling us what we saw with our own eyes just ain't true.
Her and her husband placed her in the Olympics. They created the Australian brake dancing association and then denied anyone who was not her. If that's not cheating your way into the Olympics then i dont know what is.
@@dunadd800 you do know that there are multiple ways to spell that word right? One means something is broken, the other is for slowing/stopping something. Brakes on a car ---- breaking a car. Completely different meaning. On top of that, what I said is true. Look into it yourself. Oh, and learn to speak English. I think what you meant to say is that I used the wrong spelling not that I can't spell.
No because the burden of performance is on men and only men. Nobody really cares about womens sports, even when their good at it. People want to see the absolute elite perform and thats never women. This "might" sound lime misoginy but its in fact reality. Nobody cares about the wnba, nobody cares about female soccer, nobody cares about female hockey. Sure gymnastics and figure skating maybe a little but aside from that, meh. If shes the "best" female athlete she gets to call herself the best in the world even though she aould place like 500th if compared to the men. And if she sucks ass from a straw and gets called out for it shell still be supported and backed by society and the media. Call it what you will but its hypocrisy, its entitlement, and its just plain wrong. I know the wokies will hate that im saying this but its the truth. Men must become, men must perform, men must ne the best or the dont exist. Women, for the most part, can just be.
Some of the comments she got were indeed sexist. Most of the heat she got was over this travesty and not misogynistic, but hey, it's the internet. One can't seem to avoid bitter, hateful users nowadays.
@@hailstorm5616 I will never find the fact she was yawning at her opponent to not be funny. Like girl, they are leagues better than you, why you egging them on with your taunt yawning
What that woman did was an insult to all the B boys and B girls around the globe. Now she is complaining her performance triggered hate??? She mocked them first.
@@danielz.7346 She has a PhD...so. We see what has been coming out of University for the last decade or two so why is everyone so surprised? And this is what the Olympics has become...biological men are allowed to beat the snot out of women in MMA & boxing and it is completely accepted. People have been saying we are moving into the 5th dimension and not everyone will shift. Maybe this is an example of those left behind? I try not to judge, watch the show, eat my popcorn and scratch my head.
Doesn’t she know she can’t dance as she can’t breakdance she looks like an idiot. She made a fool out of herself on national TV. It’s hilarious.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
All questions of athletic performance aside, the hatred of intellectual people for which Australian slob culture and Australian slobs are infamous is being exhibited by you lot. Anti-intellectualism is hate speech. You people are bigots. I’m proud of my PhD, which is the equivalent of a gold medal for brainwork - and something you dimwitted nasty pigs are incapable of achieving. I bet you weren’t smart enough to get into university!

I'd imagine if she goes to X-Factor or a Nation's Got Talent show... the judges would chew her, spit her out then shit on her if she ever did that "routine" in their audition.
Her husband is a judge on the committee and Australian head coach on the national team. He basically put her through so she could have a fully taxpayer funded holiday with him to Paris. This needs investigating.
This reporter is 💯 correct! If you don't agree, listen again until you do. "It's about competition, not participation." Don't use your gender as a shield for your ineptitude.
Well they are telling the whole world now - she is a no good want to be or maybe it was her parents telling her , honey you can be what ever you want to be crap. My parents knew I couldn't sing , they heard it with their own ears. No way would they let me make a fool of my self on national tv .
@@BlessedBeMyDay These types have impenetrable power of self-denial. Anything you say can and will be deleted from their memories as long as it's "negativity".
No it is the participation games.... Olympic soccer makes it very clear that the best nations do not compete.... They need fair representation from EVERY continent. Egypt, Dominican Republic, New Zealand, Paraguay ALL THE SOCCER POWERHOUSES AT THE OLYMPICS! eddie the eagle, raygun, elizabeth swaney, eric moussambani, nasra abukar ali, jolien boumkwo, trevor misapeka. Go look at winter Olympics the nations that finish last in luge, bobsled, and skeleton for example....these nations have NO BUISNESS being on the same stage as athletes. jamaican athletes got to participate in bibsled and did not even have a bobsleigh to use.... You don't think there was ONE team in Europe or North America that was more deseving than those clowns.
@@shaiyahtimmons3122I just came across that performance clip and thought it was a parody of sort. Then I realize that it is the Olympics and break dance is a new competition
@@voetbal12 He's joking. It's a common trend in comments to say a race and place that has nothing to do with the topic of discussion and pretend to be "embarrassed" or "offended" about said topic.
The fact itself she is a "professor" in pseudoscience created by literal monster john money is enough for her to not be here. Olympics is about kalos kagathos -beautiful body and spirit - and "gender studies" aim is to corrupt both
Who is the Australian woman who got screwed out of an Olympics? Pretty selfish to put yourself in a spot you know you dont deserve just to score zero points.
Basically... Thanks to her... Real break dancers from the entire world lost their chance to participate in this performance level... Now break dance lost credibility
100%. Why did Australia even allow this? She made a mockery of the spirit of competition for athletes who have worked hard for 4 years to be there. What an embarrassment for the country.
I feel embarrassed for the whole of Australia. I’m a woman and agree. It’s a disservice to women who actually experience misogynistic behavior to hear that term apply every time any woman is criticized.
Yep she single handedly embarrassed a whole nation all by herself and what's more she thinks she's the victim. What she is, is an entitled brat who thinks that she's amazing when in actual fact she sucks. Australia did absolutely amazing in this Olympics and as far as I'm concerned she destroyed it for our athletes too.
What’s ludicrous is that she’s defending herself and others are coming to her aid. The three judges gave her zero each so that’s the end of discussion in my mind. She’s not brave, she’s crap…
Well you know the old story, what happens at the Olympics is one thing. But what happens after, we'll just have to wait & see. I have feeling an apology will be on offer. From the massive backlash.
You have to admit, it takes a certain form of character, though, to survive this. I mean : I would have died of shame on the spot (I wouldn't have let anyone put me in that spot in the first place). She still could earn respect and a medal for bravery (or my compassion at least) *if* she'd come clean with how this disaster happened.
"Raygun" whining how "devastated" she is at what people are saying isn't taking into account how devastated fans, true break dancing fans, were to have to endure this. At first it appeared to be a comedy sketch, a joke. How far the IOC has fallen. I wanted to love it but ended up feeling conned.
i legit thought it was some skit performance before the REAL performance, you know something to entertain the audience and have a good laugh but no... it was the real deal - i still cannot fathom how she even got in there if thats the best she can do
A lot of people apparently haven't read 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf', they've nullified the impact of calling someone a *ist without real basis. Took long enough.
Apparently media was saying she is the best female breaker in Aussie. Wrong! Ive seen better female breakers at school fetes and community events. What an insult to the breakdancing community of Australia!
Well, how did she get selected to the Olympic team? Shouldnt the Australian Olympic Council (whatever they are called) be called out to explain this national embarrassment?
She's protesting. These arts are represented by an organization unqualified to "meter" performance that's rebellious at it's roots of inception, at birth. But here the Olympics are, spitting in our faces while unqualified to even judge our protest or art. They're putting rules on it. Breaking is a PROTEST NOT A SPORT AND SHE SOLIDIFIED THAT ON PURPOSE. She actually a world champion dancer but through events that lift us up not restrict us saying we can't use a move in the next round. Wake everyone up to this BS. You can't windmill in the last round because you already windmill in the 1st round. Sh**t doesn't add up
Blame our administrators. If we don’t have someone meeting the required Olympic standard,we shouldn’t participate in that sport. Sadly, our breakdancing was up there with Eric the Eel. 😢
No she’s not at all, she’s the exact type of person that has led to ruining the culture we had in the 80’s, 90’s, and 2000’s. Her performance was bad “that’s misogyny.” Using being a female to play victim. Raygun sucks and and I hope she finally realizes what a joke she is, liberal turd
How is she a nice person? She's a con artist. She didn't even apologise. Instead, she posted a ridiculous statement about daring to be different, to be oneself... Absolutely ridiculous. Deluded narcissist.
Allowing this woman to perform at the Olympics is ridiculous. People defending her are the parents of unathletic kids who are given participation trophies after losing the game for their teams. What a world we are living in
@@tyson9419 _"Just a reminder, at the olympic games you don't have to place first to win."_ Literally an official olympic slogan from the Celebrate humanity series.
No, you dont have to finish first. Literally No one is saying that! She was so bad the judges gave her all ZEROS!! My gosh, the gaslighting in these comments is astounding!
That’s exactly what she wanted. This fraud is a narcissist she handpicked the competition. Her husband was a judge what they did cannot be legal. It just can’t be Australians need to open a lawsuit against this chick and her husband for lying to Australia, keeping real competitors away from the Olympics, so taking away their chance to represent their country and also robbing Australia because it took a lot of money for her to be sent over there so she wasted Australian taxpayers money just so she can live out her narcissistic dream of being an Olympian.
i feelike artistic swimming and gymnastics are like performaces too instead of a sport. like they do all the stuff to cater the audience and judges. Meanwhile sports like shotput , beach volleyball , archery , shooting etc they all have that competitive spirit that even without audiences , athletes will still trying to beat the opponent in order to find out whos the best in their sport.
Then how come Eddie the Eagle was celebrated for doing essentially the same thing? Qualifying due to lack of competitors from his country and sucking in his chosen sport.
@@fosterfuchs there are plenty of actually talented B-girls who could've gone who would've taken it seriously and done a good job. This wasn't a case of there being no one else to send.
@@josequins9099 I have no doubt that there are more talented women in Australia. But they did not try out. My point stands. She was the only one in her country who showed up and qualified. Unless she got a higher score than more talented dancers in a national competition, or unless the more talented dancers were kept from trying out, she won fair and square.
@@keonbellis8070 She said “I was never going to beat these girls on what they do best-their power moves.....All of my moves are original. Creativity is really important to me. I go out there, and I show my artistry. Sometimes it speaks to the judges, and sometimes it doesn't." Doesn't sound like she was complaining.
Yep. Russia was banned, for political reasons, so the results are about as meaningful as the results of a Rugby World Cup if New Zealand were banned....

this isn’t about just winning and losing yk the olympics is like.. huge right? it’s about how she disrespected and completely embarrassed Australia and genuinely did not know what she was doing, it absolutely needs to be investigated why she was even up to compete. people are pressed because she stole the position from someone probably much more deserving
I think it got cut because, the powers that be came to their senses. Its a sports competition not a dance competition. I enjoy watching break dancing in its proper forum....a dance competition.
@@teresasmith8946 There are several dance competitions in the Olympics (Dressage, Olympic Floor Show, Artistic Swimming), so that's not it. The event was never "cut." Every Olympics, the home country gets to choose a set of new events they can add to the ensemble. Breaking was one of France's, same as Karate was one of Japan's. Neither of those are going to be in LA, because America chose an entire different slew of events to choose instead, and likewise those probably aren't going to be in the following Olympics because then it'll be a new country's choice, etc.
