”Open the door!
Get on the floor!
Everybody walk the dinosaur!”
Could someone please provide context (besides the Paris Olympics)
Breakdancing is an Olympic event 😐
Sir please it’s not break dancing, it’s breaking. IOC insists on using the latter, because they are desperately trying to convince people that it’s a sport and the dance in the name makes that more difficult.
At first I thought break dancing was a stupid sport to include in the Olympics. The I figured if those hoop throwing and ribbon twirling stuff can be Olympic sports, why can’t break dancing? It certainly has plenty of athleticism in it. More than many other sports in fact.
I still think the overly hip-hop-y style looks weird in the context of Olympics though. Contestants with funky nicknames, and presenters waving their arms while grabbing their crotch like it’s a rap concert don’t scream “prestigious international event that involves thousands of top tier athletes” to me. Though I guess it might be because I’m not used to it.
No one I know thinks she’s a Legend.
Infact every aussie I’ve spoken to thinks she’s a tripper
The pinnacle of world sport isn’t the place to make personal statements and ‘be yourself’. The only thing the whole world saw is how bad she is at breakdancing. IMO she made a fool out of herself, her country and the sport.
Personal style is a big part of breakdancing in general, but also being world class at it is important at the Olympics.
For sure, many disciplines require creativity and expression. She did that, without showing any skill or technicality.
Technically, it was hilarious.
It’s sad but truly groundbreaking artists are never recognized in their time
Is this the cartoonish sneaking event?
