Surely there are others better than her?

For comparison here is Holy Molly and b-girl Naru. The one's that raygun beat.

Surely thats the warm up. Is there another video when they start the competition?

What are you expecting?

What are you expecting?

Something remotely impressive.

Something remotely impressive.

Check out Jeff Dunne, the Aussie olympic b-boy representative. He has some moves.

 

[Sydney Kicker]

Directly qualified by winning the Oceania Championships last year in Sydney, beating the likes of Holy Molly and B-Girl Naru.

She must have designed the scoring criteria for her thesis.

Will do

On the bright side, hopefully there are a bunch of young gymnasts and dancers this morning pulling on some parachute pants and getting started. I would imagine they will go past Raygun by about Tuesday.

Ray gun more like spud gun

 

[Moonwatcher]

Any chance of Japan getting to 3rd on the medal table?

I'll see if I can find my matching adidas parachute pants / jacket from the 90s .

Get Raygun on the bike

Breaking Bad the Doco coming soon.

 

[damochandler]

To get silver in the sprint against him is good. Opals were lucky to even make it this far

 

[2 eazy]

Japan now in 4th, with 16 gold. However they need win 3 more as we have more silver.

 

[Satan]

WTF did Raygun do a kangaroo move???
Jesus that was embarassing.

Gone viral the move not your post

well they seemed to be better than what Raygun put out overnight

Maybe she was overawed and couldn't perform, though wathcing the replay the dancer in my faily was all "how is this olympic level" and "I've never done breaking but I can do pretty much everything she did except the spin on the head"

 

[myblueroan]

Breakdancing in the Olympics is stupid.

Bumper Stickers please.

 

[Sydney Kicker]

According to the ABC article Breaking is a non starter at LA. And for Brisbane rated "Highly Unlikely". Just to make sure maybe someone could start a movement to boycott 2032 if Breaking is included.

In an Olympic sport that may be one and done, Australia's first breaker bows out in 'different' performance

Australia's first breaker, Raygun, bows out of the Paris Olympics with a performance she described as "different and creative".

They have been cleaning up in wrestling and have two more gold medal matches and one more comp at the quarter final stage. We still have an Aussie in this latter one. Haven't checked any other sports.

Will probably be something super annoying like pushing themselves over the line with another stupid breaking gold medal.

Raygun made nyt lol

The Australian Professor Who Turned Breaking on Its Head

Rachael Gunn, known as B-girl Raygun, displayed some … unique moves as she competed in a field with breakers half her age. The judges and the internet were underwhelmed.

I feel for Raygun. The uniform was horrible for a start. And the cap as well.

As opposed to our totally legit skateboarding and Sailing golds?

At least skateboarding doesn't look like a cat trying to throw up, like breaking.

It's been known it won't be included in the LA program for quite a while.
