They ALL look like idiots (because they are), and that includes the announcers, judges, and most spectators.
In better days they'd had done all do their spastic flipping around between rubber walls.
“She is being ridiculed because she tried to perform at something that she has no level of competence at”
Seeing it’s a one and done Olympic event, no surprise there was no criteria to qualify for the event. JOKE / CLOWN WORLD.
I use the parable that Christ taught, about not making yourself more important than you are here. She could have gave a small speech on hip-hop or break dancing and then have a few competent breakdancers do some moves and it probably would have been a decent performance.
RayBannedGuns could have won if she used the song, “Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport”.
I don’t see it much differently between the two. Both take athletic ability and are subjectively scored.
What I do like about the breaking is that it’s a head to head competition...you just need to beat your opponent. Gymnastics it’s overall highest score over several rounds. So if you follow a great act your score may get dinged more than following a terrible act.
At least breaking is a bit more fair and consistent.
I’m still not convinced it wasn’t really good satire…
Don’t bother watching. I saw some video highlight; you may as well watch ordinary people falling down and struggling to get up.
I’m not impressed - I’ve seen much better breakdancing; though usually males.
