Her dance was unique and paid homage to Australia's national identity. It wasn't forgetable African American style shucking and jiving typical of the sport.
>>157594794it was simultaneously the zenith, nadir and ultimate manifestation of the hubris and arrogance of millennial women
>>157594794Go to bed. You are drunk
I find her unreasonably attractive for some reason
>>157594794It was pretty bad by itself, but on a meta level the humiliation it caused the "breakdancing is a sport" community was pretty cool.Ending up being unintentionally good overall
I'll admit in the first two dances I expected her to pull out a ray gun
I unironically love raygun for how much shit she stirred for unintentionally shitting on one of the most ridiculous things to be apart of the olympics and i hope breakdancing never recovers
>>157595016Based
>>157595016she deprived someone of the chance to be the danciest woman of 2024
she was robbedi haven't seen the documentary but i assume it must be about how the competition judging was rigged against heri'm not saying she should have won gold but her performance was unique, entertaining, skillful.she deserved to make it a lot further than they let her
>>157595016It is amazing. Seeing Australians themselves get revved about it is the best thing.She is the Australian shitposter become affluent liberal female.
>>157594794I must admit… I never actually saw her performance. I was just swayed by the memes and just piled on like an npc. The pictures painted a very cringe performance >>157595238Actually seeing her in action, she’s… not bad at all. I mean she’s fit enough to actually do the dead spin thingy I associate with break dancing. I owe her an apology (and sex)>>157595016All that being said I agree with anon. Including this shit as Olympic sport is retarded. Maybe revisit in 100 years so that it’s older while building the associations/rules/standards so that it can be judged consistently.
Her performance was roughly the same as those times when a bunch of athletes get disqualified, and you wind up with a shot-putter running the 100m. She's the white Eric the Eel. She deserved to be laughed at, but online, hatred from a few hundred people turns into hatred from billions quite quickly, and that was really excessive.There's not a single poster on /sp/ who can breakdance better than Raygun can, and I would bet all my money on that. But it's the Olympics. Even the worst athletes really ought to be better than this. She wasn't even doing it for banter like that American woman who skied for Hungary in the Winter Olympics.
>>157594794she was fly. end of discussion.
>>157595238>IM UNSTOPPABLE TODAY song playing in the endingThe documentary redeemed her and ended with her winning
>>157595238Looks like my little bro when he threw hissy fits
>>157594794It was much worse. She's a disgrace.
>>157595016the olympcs are fucking gay and the board is unusable during them due to the anime nonce tourists>which country has the fastest coon?who cares
>>157594794It was the best of times, it was the worst of times
>>157595016Most Olympic sports suck. You can only watch so many instances of Guy running 100m and then in the next event it's 10m more before you snooze. Only a handful of track, swimming, basketball and gymnastics events are legit, everything else is dumb. At least breakdancing is kind of cool.>>157602747The problem with Raygun is that she takes herself too seriously to just lean into the joke and admit she's a meme. She's a delusional cunt who thinks she's a true genius and misunderstood artist who was creating art. She didn't go out to intentionally shit on anything, she went out knowing she had no shot so wanted to do some weird art piece thinking everyone would realize what a genius she was and then got butthurt when everyone made fun of her instead.
>>157594794It was bad but idea to have breakdancing in Olympics was even worse. Im glad they got rid off it
>>157594794It was funny and showed how break dancing is stupid
>>157615064kekhadn't seen this one
>>157615064The smug nod gets me
>>157594794It was so bad, it got "Breaking" dropped from future Olympics. The process of how she even ended up competing exposed the entire "sport" as a joke dilute of talent or interest.
>>157615190for me it was her deliberate choice to wear australian olympic gear which made her look like an ODI cricketer.
The real scandal was that she and her friends became the Australian breakdancing federation and chose each other to go the Olympics instead of creating a real competition
>>157594794>So cringe it literally killed the sportyeah
already dropped as an event from future olympics before it was held btw
>>157594794FREESTYLA
>>157614481>The problem with Raygun is that she takes herself too seriously to just lean into the joke and admit she's a meme.

She writes "academic" pieces on break dancing
>>157614445>literally me in middle school when I thought I was break dancing like a chadPerfect form.
A lot of the Internet reaction to Raygun reminds me of Rebecca Black's Friday, but at least RB didn't actually enter that song in a competition thinking she was top tier. Maybe she will still have a redemption arc in the future like Rebecca Black is doing.
not only was it horrible, it made a mockery of the entire sport and completely overshadowed actually GOOD breaking from both the guys and girls in Paris.
>>157615863>mockery of the entire sportthey did that to themselves, shucking and jiving ain't a sport jomeboy
>>157615880its more entertaining than a whole heap of olympic sports including everything with horses, 25 different versions of swimming and flag football
>>157615129She enabled some of the only acceptable slop
>>157615651I'm stil not completely convinced that it isn't some advanced form of shitposting, in the purest Aussie tradition
>>157615894>entertainingI found sopranos entertaining and yet it was not a sport
>>157616055it's not my fault you are retarded
>>157595016This.
>>157616081>
>>157616134that is still more athletic than the sopranos. Also interpretive circus dance IS an olympic sport retard. Multiple events even. Why is synchronized swimming or rhythmic gymnastics a sport and this isn't?
>>157614481>At least breakdancing is kind of coolNot really. The only time it's ever looked cool was in La Haine.
>>157616707Every millennial enjoyed the music video for It's Like That by Run DMC, back in 1998 or whenever it came out.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLGWQfK-6DY
>>157594794Dance is about making people feel something as they watch you and about going viral. She won 10 gold medals at once.
Asian wiggers are the only people who can actually breakdance impressively but this performance was kino and easily the most memorable part of the whole olympics so Raygun won in the end
>>157594794stay mad
>>157594913bitch is 27 and shitpost on tiktok, don't put this on millennials
>>157594794RayGun, the ultimate buck breaker.
>It was reported that a trademark application for the silhouette of Gunn doing the kangaroo pose was submitted by her legal team on the same day that the show was first promoted with the same image, on 25 September 2024. A trademark application for the name "Raygun" was stalled with an "adverse report" issued by authorities in October 2024>From 2020 until February 2026 Gunn was a full-time lecturer in the department, until she took a "voluntary redundancy". Gunn noted that she "had seen 'the writing on the wall,'" and that "We need to have a serious conversation about higher education" in AustraliaShe's definitely shitposting irl
>>157619184>this performance was kino and easily the most memorable part of the whole olympics so Raygun won in the end>some twat dancing like a gimp was more memorable than Femke Bol's anchor leg in the mixed 4x400m relay where she started it in fourth position (and at a 10m deficit) only to then overtake the three runners ahead of her and win the race with a split time of 48.00s. M O R O N
>>157615812rebecca black was more sympathetic and less conceited though
>>157614493I'm just going to remind people that speedwalking has been in multiple Olympics. Also horse dancing.
>>157614481Breakdancing hasn't been cool since the 80s.
>>157624736Death march is literally the best event and they got rid of it because they didn't want women to have to do it on tv

>>157624736Why do seppos never understand that endurance is a worthwhile skill in something? Is it their small adhd-ridden brains? Is this why they leave countries they've invaded before they should?
I owe her sex.
>>157619419She is 40
>>157594794Australians have a really bad attitude about things and I really hate it. They aren't entitled to never be embarrassed or beyond memes. Maybe its because I am American but I seriously would rather be clowns who can take a joke than people as serious as a funeral who see cringe as some kind of deep trauma.
>>157616041>The 'three legs'>The floppy ballbag>The spinning mushroom>Literal levitationAre these legal moves in breaking?
it was alreadydroppedfrom future gamesbefore this onetook placeher "performance"hadnothingtodowithitretards
>>157602816what? You mean actual winning like some sort of north korean dystopian shit? Or like figuratively winning as in "she won because everyone remembers her" (for looking like a fucking idiot lol)?
>>157595016The Community Center should be sold to Developers and turned into a Wal Mart
>>157615894Every facial reaction from his competitors is gold
>>157615064that move before the nod was sick not gonna lie
>>157595782>>157595238Ye I hadnt seen it and I mean, she's obviously bad at it, but it doesnt look like it merits the widespread ridicule. Like, someone is gonna be the worst at any given discipline in the olympics.Ive seen bigger flops in other disciplines like the african swimmers and whatnot, but I guess itd be racist to make fun of those too much.
What happened was that olympics was tanking from the masses being busy with the color revolution and nobody was watching so they just used old fashioned propaganda to shill this breakdancing lady to generate interest. It was the only storyline from the entire olympics and they needed it to try and salvage the ratings
I was disappointed to find out she wasn't making fun of breakdancing but was actually very serious about it
Since there is no way to properly organise, regulate or determine the rule system of "breakdancing" it cannot be considered as a genuine sport.
>>157595238Michael Scott tier dancing skills
>>157619184>Asian wiggersShould'nt they be called yiggers or chiggers o algo
One of the best meme shoops of 2024.
>>157633135kek
>>157619670She's not shiposting, she's genuinely this retarded. It's a fine line to walk and she fucked it right up.
>>157594794It was pretty good if it were a competition specifically designed for middle aged soccer moms to enjoy themselves and provide a bit of amateur competition but allowing her to compete in the Olympics is symptomatic of the typical western suicidally empathetic political and social structure that is terrified of opposing any ‘oppressed’ class, no matter how retarded their ideas or conduct are, provides opportunities far above their level of competence and experience, or have them face any real consequences for their actions throughout their lives, thereby allowing them have no sense of shame or concept of their own level of ability.
>>157594794Watching the documentary and her and her husband just seem like dorky privileged academics. Incredibly out of touch people, have met people like them at parties and they are fine as long as they are never given any limelight.
>>157640753Only goys care about the roidlympics. Lets not pretend they are some sacred event that is just now being ruined.
>>157640719>she's genuinely this retarded.This.
>>157644198I have her entire PhD thesis downloaded. It’s hundreds of pages long, and it’s all like this. The hilarity wears thin pretty fast, so I haven’t read it all.

>>157644402He clearly means Eric “the Eel” Moussambani, and just couldn’t remember his name.
>>157644432Never heard of him but he was applaused as a herohttps://www.olympics.com/en/brisbane-2032/news/the-incredible-story-of-eric-moussambani/ I guess the Aussie chick from the 1st world country could be hailed as a hero as it takes guts to dance in front of the whole world when you can't dance
>>157624736Friendly reminder that an horse IS a athlete
So basically if it wasn't for Richard Branson this braod would've just disappeared into meme land forever. There's a lesson here
>>157645472Yes
>>157615064kek she has no idea what the fuck shes doing
>>157594794It was bad but also makes some degree of sense in context.First off, she was the lowest ranked competitor there so her coming dead last shouldn't surprise anyone.Second was the scoring. I can't find any images of the scorecards used but did find an article about it. They were judged on Technique, Originality, Musicality, Vocabulary and Execution and the points were for who won in a head to head basis on each of those criteria. I think she knew she couldn't win on technique and so gambled on trying to squeeze out some points elsewhere even if it wasn't a very good show of breakdancing skill. The judges didn't seem all that keen on rewarding this attempt to game the system and so she lost across the board.
>>157624736but speedwalking is an actual sport
>>157616041wtf that's actually insanehow did she not win
>>157625620>endurance is a worthwhile skill in somethingNo its not, endurance is always beaten by raw power and skill. Unless your goal is to literally run yourself to death or whatever
>>157644543Eric was underlevelled in an event people respect.Raygunn was underlevelled in an event nobody respected and breakdancing was already dropped from future games anyway.
>>157650453patriarchy, duh
>>157595016You're retarded. The mens breakdancing event was the most kino Olympic event since the Death March. It's a more legitimate sport than half of the other shit at the Olympics.
>>157644402Call your mom back cunt
>>157616335Those shouldn't be sports either
>>157594794she was kinda adorable when she did the kangaroo hop but other than that it was pathetic
>>157615397Didn't happen. Raygun is Oceania's greatest breakdancing talent as judged by international judges from outside the region.
>>157594794>was her performance actually that bad?Yes. Athletically and aesthetically. Random people were imitating her on TikTok and they could nail every move. In some cases they looked smoother. An Olympian performance shouldn't be that easy to imitate>>157614481This. If she were able to laugh at herself and embrace meme status people would be more forgiving. Then again someone with that level of humility and self awareness wouldn't dream of competing in the Olympics in the first place
>>157664839Breaking must be spontaneous, you're not allowed rehearsed moves.
>>157664839>Then again someone with that level of humility and self awareness wouldn't dream of competing in the Olympics in the first placeSpoken like a true coward
the ultimate pozztralian humiliation
I can’t think of a time I’ve laughed harder in recent times and I suffer from chronic depression. So I think it was pretty sick
>>157594794She made a mockery of the sport and should be stripped naked, tied to a post and whipped in public.
>>157665558It was more entertaining than most competitors, the problem is taking herself seriously
you cucks and niggers have been cucked by leftisma WHITE human woman competed against baboons and insects to defend the WHITE race for white peopleand you BOOED her1488redditspacing
>>157615299Breakdancing was never going to be in the next Olympics. It's been confirmed a thousand times. With so much about her to actually mock, why make shit up anon?
>>157594794>and paid homage to Australia's national identity. yeah
>>157594794Go to bed, Raygun
>>157664900He's right. Imagine the levels of attention whoring needed to be a 40 year-old hag and sign up to compete in an absolute meme sport like Olympic break dance.
>>157594913Zoomzoom women but yes
Flopping around like a fish out of water isn't a sport. Then you can call my autistic stimming a sport as well.I'm glad this woman set things straight for every made retard that thought this could ever be anything more than a hobby for middle schoolers.
>>157665558I think this should happen regardless of the reputation of breakdancing or whatever.
>>157595238>flopping around like a mostly-dead fish>contrarianons are trying to sell this as "not that bad"
