Olympics: 2024 Summer Olympics-Paris

Even if she was bad or terrible or whatever, the ridicule she is facing for representing her country at the Olympics is disgraceful.

There are 5 year girls who would mop the floor with her. Her skill level was not on a competition level. Sure, its not nice but she went through with it. But in her defense the whole event men included was not top tier breaking either. You can tell she is someone who got into breaking very late in life and was more of a hobby than an actual profession.

I don’t find any humor in the jokes at her expense, to me it’s more sad than anything else. But when you put yourself out there you take the good with the bad.

If you absolutely kill it, you’ll get the praise and adulation.

If you step on the world’s biggest stage and make a mockery of the sport and embarrass your country in the process (which is exactly what she did), you shouldn’t expect people to hold back their criticism in order to spare your feelings.

A man can beat on women but a woman can't beat on a horse.

Got it.

You might not agree that people with her biological condition should be permitted to compete, but it’s just ignorant to refer to her as a man.

Also, completely nonsensical to compare the eligibility decisions of one sport’s governing body with another, but I’m sure you knew that.

I will respond later. Right now I am watching a loop of the opening ceremony and break dancing competition.

The Australian Olympic breakdancer who went viral for her performance in the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics was named as the No. 1 dancer in the world by the World DanceSport Federation.

The WDSF is again completely irrelevant in breaking now that it's not an Olympic sport anymore, not many top-level performers take part in the few events that they organize. One could probably make a more legit hockey ranking based on the Spengler Cup alone.
