Boxing has also been dropped from the LA 28 Olympics
She can’t be the best we had, surely she didn’t know the criteria being judged either.I don't know if Gunn's PhD was government funded. The majority of PhD candidatures are University funded these days. Not sure when she got hers though. It was easier to get government funded ones 20 years ago.
Either way, the funding produced the Oceania champion so that's probably a win!
It's hilarious how silly her moves looked, but let's be real here, she's not the issue. She was the best we had, so she got to compete. The issues are (a) we clearly didn't take the sport seriously, and (b) it's a stupid sport.
How many people can say they've represented their country at the Olympics? Good on her.
All the basketball's are pro.I think its been dropped because more and more people going pro and losing numbers into MMA.
I reckon the IOC are trying to get more of the "youth" into watching the Olympics.Breakdancing has been officially dropped from the Olympics. Ice dancing is a thing in the winter Olympics. I can only assume the summer Olympics is trying to find a technical equivalent they can use. Plenty of highly regarded dance styles out there that have had international competitions for decades.
She is the best female who competed in the qualifying tournament.She can’t be the best we had, surely she didn’t know the criteria being judged either.
No one could get all zeros 3 x if they tried to do it badly.
IMO it’s absolutely on her.
Wasn’t it judged by her husband though?She is the best female who competed in the qualifying tournament.
No doubt countless better breakers in other competitions and/or the overall community. But she won the competition that mattered.

Nah, she was bad.Wasn’t it judged by her husband though?
And then she completely missed the mark at the Olympics, to get all zeros shows she wasn’t just bad at it, it wasn’t what they were looking for either.
I'm not 100% sure how the score system works. Does her getting zeros mean that they literally all gave her a score of zero on every dance? Or does it just mean that each judge gave her a lower score they they gave her opponents? I am assuming it's the latter.She can’t be the best we had, surely she didn’t know the criteria being judged either.

The way I’ve read it each judge gave her zero 3 times?I'm not 100% sure how the score system works. Does her getting zeros mean that they literally gave her a score of zero? Or does it just mean that each judge gave her a lower score they they gave her opponents? I am assuming it's the latter.
Given that each score is a round number, and yet the judging criteria has five different categories with tiny little percentage deductions for various things, I think the score being reported just corresponds to how many judges gave her more points than her opponent. Like if the score was 1-5 then one judge thought she was better and 5 thought she was worse.The way I’ve read it each judge gave her zero 3 times?
According to the olympics site. each round gets 9 points distributed between the two competitors. https://olympics.com/en/news/breaking-breakdancing-rules-format-movesGiven that each score is a round number, and yet the judging criteria has five different categories with tiny little percentage deductions for various things, I think the score being reported just corresponds to how many judges gave her more points than her opponent.

It just doesn't seem realistic that her opponents got a score of exactly 18 each time if it's an actual subjective score. It seems much more likely that the 18 corresponds to the number of judges who gave them higher points.

So the best possible case is that overall the judges thought her opponent was over 8 times better than her in each round. (allowing for some rounding up)
Literally FMD
Scene 1.In years to come will Hollywood make a movie on this just like the Eddie the Eagle movie.
Literally?
The way I’ve read it each judge gave her zero 3 times?
They had that this year.Beat boxing?
That seems correct.I'm still not convinced this is right. I think the score we actually saw just corresponds to how many judges gave her opponent more points than her. I was watching some other matches and it just looks like the "score" is just a bunch of boxes that go one colour or another. I.e. did each judge score the competitor in red higher, or the competitor in blue higher.
Let's say we're in a one-on-one diving competition with ten judges. I do my dive and every single judge gives me 7.5. You do your dive and every single judge gives you 8.0. Then the final score is 0-10. That doesn't mean I was garbage... just that all ten judges thought you were better than me.
Doesn't look like we see the percentages.Each round is judged by nine judges against five criteria. The judging system produces a vote for each judge for each round in favour of one of the athletes (red or blue), with a percentage figure indicating the strength of their vote in favour of red or blue across all five criteria. The possible vote scores for each round can be 9-0, 8-1, 7-2, 6-3 or 5-4 in favour of an athlete.
Speaking ahead of the closing ceremony, breaking head judge Martin Gilian, who performs as MGbility, said the score wasn’t a sign she did terribly, and said the breaking community “definitely stands behind her”
......
MGbility said there are five criteria the judges look at when making a decision, and Raygun’s level was “maybe not as high” as that of her competitors.
“But again, that doesn’t mean that she did really bad. She did her best. She won the Oceania qualifier,” he said.
“Unfortunately for her, the other B-girls were better”
I can think of a few BF posters that could play the lead role. They need to slither and slide and good at backflips.Scene 3
