So what’s up with breakdancing in Australia?

[Dan Gleesak]

That was something, huh?

I don't get the reference but Electric Boogaloo 2 is pretty serious.

Compared to the others, the Australian girl just looked like she was convulsing around having spasms

She wrote some stupid academic paper that's basically 'if you think I'm a shitty breakdancer you're a bigot."

Electric Boogaloo

I loved those movies back in the day.

If you’re gonna ride, don’t ride the white horse.

Here's one of this losers scam shit.
There's a bunch of them.

Academics turn everything they touch into dogshit.

Apparently she was head of whatever organization that was used to choose the Olympic candidates and on the judging panel too. There's a 'qualifying' match on youtube of her winning against some other girl that is clearly a much better dancer.

Olympics are fucking stupid. The bicycle racing on that little wooden arena race track thing was kinda fun since it was like demolition derby at 50mph.

What a fucking clown show this is.
Starts off with multiple athletes having their shit stolen or being assaulted.
Goes into cringe low effort tranny intro of last supper thing with weird shit like a bloody Marie Antoinette and some guy showing his ballsack.
Man beats women in boxing.
Australian PhD in cringe for break dancing.

What next? I'm hoping the closing ceremony is a doozy.

Oh I thought it was about the Olympic performance. Thanks for posting it though

Not sure that was her point at all lol

It really was though. I read some her papers, it's all about that.

I’ve read her write about sexism for sure, but I’ve yet to see her connecting it to her Olympic performance, aside from her addressing comments about her outfit

 

[JTyson]

I think she may have stepped in a fire ant bed.
Those little bastards hurt!

I swore I would watch only enough to validate not liking it. But I have to say, the top 5 - 6 were really impressive. It’s funny, but also too bad that Rachel ‘Ray-Gunn’ is dominating the news coverage for this event. She really gave the whole event a black eye. It was so bad, that I kept expecting it to be a commercial for something - like ‘this can’t be serious.’ Or like a scene from a Borat movie or something.

Breakdancing has been the only event I’ve watched so far lol. Not that I’m necessarily a fan of the “sport”, but it was fun to watch something new. My wife is pretty into though, so that might have played a role in it being in the tv…

Competitions that are based on having a panel of people judging through their own subjective lens is a bit weird to have in the Olympics imo...I know there's a long tradition of it (IE floor routine is old AF) but it still seems weird.
Same with the horse shit. Why the fuck are there horses in the Olympics?

You look at the history of stuff included and for 1900-1980s it was fairly normal, they'd have some weird sports in there as "demonstration" sports. Then in the 00s it became each country trying to out do the previous by packing more and more shit in, now the roster for sports is like double that of the 1980s.
