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.

It 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

I 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
>>157595238
Actually 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)
>>157595016
All 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.

Most 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.

>>157602747
The 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.

for me it was her deliberate choice to wear australian olympic gear which made her look like an ODI cricketer.

Ye 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.

It 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.

It 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.

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
