So that people truly appreciate how much of a trainwreck Raygun was, she not only didn't win a round, she didn't win a single vote. She was 0 for 54. What a legend.
Crazy how this became the narrative. LA decided in October 2023 NOT to include breaking in 2028, nearly a year before we saw how it was received in Paris.
@@UniversusVasator I did, I watched her competitors in the Womens' qualifier. They had clear funk and style even when straying from popular expectations of what breaking is and in to freestyle competiton.
But here's the thing... her level doesn't merit her to be deservedly called a true Olympian. She just proved she could troll the system and qualify for Paris.
@@eliasgermer8762 True. That’s a skill for the corporate world or politics, but not for the athleticism (physical) that is celebrated in the Olympics. Her breaking was mostly just mental (pun intended).
"Place de la Concorde" is something related to a French Concorde crash in the year 2000. I think he said he wants her on that flight. That is horrible.
I can't help but bring up that she is a university lecturer with a PhD in Cultural Studies and a bachelor's in Contemporary Music. According to her school, "Her work draws on cultural theory, dance studies, popular music studies, media, and ethnography." I'm at a loss for words...can talk the talk but can't walk the walk.
yeah but just watched a 10sec round in Mens Breaking from Ukraine, and all he did was wiggle and got all the votes. The commentator said 'sometimes its Not about doing hard/ power moves, (Ukraine guy) incorporated his cultural uniqueness and flow into his story (dance set).' isnt that what Raygun did lol Break dancing just isnt for Olympic competition thats all haha
This years Olympics went from sports competition to an epic dance battle that came straight out of the scene in _Step Up_ movies is such a history in the making.
@@_davidboxingred bull dance battles are freestyle. She had music for her performance and still trashed it after going through training sessions and at least 1 or 2 trainer's
At least tell me she was paid to throw it because ain't no way in hell she went out there mimicking ostriches, and monsters, and toddler tantrums but was serious about competing.
It’s already started, at a high school basketball game the coach subbed in a kid that sucked. The other side chanted “Ray Gun” when ever he got the ball.
The Ray Gun is available in all Zombies maps in Call of Duty: World at War available only in the Mystery Box. The Ray Gun is often the most favored weapon in Zombies due to its ability to kill in one shot until rounds 18 to 22, or 22 to 25 when Pack-a-Punched, and its large ammo capacity for such a high-damage weapon. As well, the Ray Gun can hit multiple zombies at once, courtesy of its splash damage. However, the same splash damage can be dealt to the user themselves, and can potentially down them in unfavorable locations. It is pinpoint accurate, and the bullets have a travel time, meaning that the player should aim their shots very carefully, especially since it takes a small, but noticeable amount of time for the shot to reach its target. The Ray Gun can kill zombies in one hit approximately until round 22. However, after said rounds, the Ray Gun will steep off immensely in terms of usefulness, commonly turning zombies into crawlers. The Ray Gun shoots slowly, and as such, can benefit from using Double Tap Root Beer in order to increase its effectiveness; however, it can cause inaccurate players to burn through ammunition supplies at alarming rates. The reload animation for the Ray Gun ends when a distinct, distorted sound is heard, after the barrel of the Ray Gun is closed. As such, players should be aware of its Reload Cancel time, as attempting to reload cancel as soon as the battery enters the barrel will yield danger to the user. To alleviate this, Speed Cola can be useful in order to perform its 3 second reload faster.
To summarize the Paris Olympics 2024: -anti-sex beds for athletes -bizzare opening ceremony -metal band, Gojira, in the ceremony -Seine river issue/scandal/controversy -Olympic village not in good condition -vegan food out of stock -handsome Turkish olympic shooter -Filipino athlete winning 2 gold medals (he's going home) -French pole vaulter eliminated -midair olympic surfer -some other nations including Pakistan and Uzbekistan also getting gold medals -South Korean athletes miscalled as "North Korean" -Jamaican athletes "no-showing" on track game -US Men's 4x100m team not winning medals -Australian breakdancer -Paris Olympics closing ceremony I think that's enough on the list
The Paris Olympics only added Breakdancing (I'm already cringing) in a desperate and comedically out-of-touch bid to garner more views, after people are tuning out.

I believe this hits a bit of the dynamics criteria to and if its on beat its gonna hit the fundamentals criteria. Learn the scoring first. Breaking is not your movie style "breakdancing."

Man, breaking was an expression of the soul in the bleak NY lanscape in the 70s & 80s. There was no training; we had some cardboard and a boombox. Get a hold of yourself.
This was friggin trash. Really I'm a retired shuffler and met some of the wicked force breakers. You're calling that top rocking? Absolute ass. She's literally a soccer mum that had too much goon at her kids scout hall party.
@@sicksmoker253i gotta agree with this. She looked like she only practiced for 2 months tops and decided to send it on stage. Her musicality wasn’t ideal, her footwork was mediocre, her style in general was inconsistent and her power move structures and transitions were non-existent
Just like Eddie the Eagle who did the ski jump for the U.K. at the Winter Olympics. When your the only one who sign up and put your name down on the list and no one else did. Looks like you’re going to the Olympics no matter how bad you are. Poor Ray_Gun she looked like a drunk bridesmaid trying to make movies on the dance floor at the weddings reception party
As a breaker and a LIMC sub I was dreading the inevitable video about this--but you covered it with positivity and a balanced, researched take. Thank you ❤
There are seas full of hateful comments, this probably being the nicest comment about Raygun yet. I would bet all me kangaroos they wouldn't say it to her face, people shouldn't act like this. I thought I would see lots of positivity for her but I only got the opposite. Thank you DarkerDusk for the positive comment. ❤

It's not just bad style, she hesitates before her moves, checking her balance or whatever like an incompetent learner! Is it just the judges and me that can see this?

@@TheArklyte I'm sure quite a bit slips through the cracks, but just about everything I can find is official NBC or Olympics channels. It's maddening to find full replays of events until years later.

Yeah, the girl who came in second place and the Canadian boy were very good dancers and you can see that they put a lot of physical effort into it, it makes me bad to see how people are talking negatively about breaking just because of this girl, especially about female breaking, when in the majority of participants there was a lot of effort and professionalism, people find it difficult to accept new things
Whats insane is that the Womens Japanese and Lithuanian breakdancers and the mens French and Canadian breakdancers looked like the had to actually hone years of experience of practice to do. This is like sending me to represent America in any of the competitions. What a joke.
I don't get it why everybody's so upset that she gets criticized for her dance. It's literally olympics, a place where you're judged for your performance lmao
I take urban dance seriously, so it's kind of sad for me to see people applauding a mediocre at her best breaker doing a worse than her usual freestyle to represent her nation. I've never been to Australia, but I've seen videos on youtube of buskers and street dancers and even one of an Aboriginal kid out in the middle of nowhere who'd better represent the art of break dancing than this credentialed "national champion". Break dancing in it's origin was an art form of impoverished urban minorities just dancing as a form of entertainment and competition on the street, and to see this privileged white college professor pretending to be an authority on it flailing about on camera while there's skilled dancers who are both more true to the origin of the dance on the streets of Melbourne, Sydney and even in the Outback and more deserving to represent breaking for their nation
Completely agreed. If you look at many universities, often times their "hip-hop professors" are often millennial white hipsters from the suburbs. I went to an academic conference once and there was a panel of a Tupac discussion, and it was all yt hipsters, so I left.
Yes she took the place of someone who may have won a gold medal and that is the real tragedy. A privileged mediocre performer given the place belonging to someone else I hear her husband was on the selection committee.
I hope what you were just being sarcastic this entire video. Cause yeah, she can say she was an "Olympian" and had a trip to france. But at what cost? To look like a fool for the rest of history.
Watch me act like a spaz, get an Olympic Invite, have a University pay me and give me a PHD and everyone will applaud. Absurd. Like Women have been excluded from the world of dance. I shake my head, as a species we seem to get dumber and dumber.
Dancing like a Peanuts character at the Olympics has got to be the peak of the human experience

Yeah, the girl who came in second place and the Canadian boy were very good dancers and you can see that they put a lot of physical effort into it, it makes me bad to see how people are talking negatively about breaking just because of this girl, especially about female breaking, when in the majority of participants there was a lot of effort and professionalism, people find it difficult to accept new things
holy glaze limc
The least normal Australian citizen of all time.
Love from Australia.
Whats insane is that the Womens Japanese and Lithuanian breakdancers and the mens French and Canadian breakdancers looked like the had to actually hone years of experience of practice to do. This is like sending me to represent America in any of the competitions. What a joke.
I don't get it why everybody's so upset that she gets criticized for her dance. It's literally olympics, a place where you're judged for your performance lmao
she basically started crumping at the ballerina comp and dragged Australia name through the dirt with this one.
Some glazing from LIMC here. She embarrassed herself and her country with this performance.
Honestly it was iconic.
I take urban dance seriously, so it's kind of sad for me to see people applauding a mediocre at her best breaker doing a worse than her usual freestyle to represent her nation. I've never been to Australia, but I've seen videos on youtube of buskers and street dancers and even one of an Aboriginal kid out in the middle of nowhere who'd better represent the art of break dancing than this credentialed "national champion".
Break dancing in it's origin was an art form of impoverished urban minorities just dancing as a form of entertainment and competition on the street, and to see this privileged white college professor pretending to be an authority on it flailing about on camera while there's skilled dancers who are both more true to the origin of the dance on the streets of Melbourne, Sydney and even in the Outback and more deserving to represent breaking for their nation
Completely agreed. If you look at many universities, often times their "hip-hop professors" are often millennial white hipsters from the suburbs. I went to an academic conference once and there was a panel of a Tupac discussion, and it was all yt hipsters, so I left.
Yes she took the place of someone who may have won a gold medal and that is the real tragedy. A privileged mediocre performer given the place belonging to someone else I hear her husband was on the selection committee.
This has no place in the Olympics
Who would have thought an Aussie P.E. teacher could join Olympic Breakdancing.
P.e? She’s a lecturer in media and creative studies
@@elbottio looks like a PE teacher for me
@@yehudamanus2180 the information is literally in the video
@@elbottio dude it's just a joke
this has been one of the most memorable Olympics I remember. I living for it all tbh
She's ahead of the times
2:14 minutes of straight up coping lmao
Why not have beer drinking as an official sport. Humanity is doomed
Because a white lady was cringe on TV?
0 momentum, has to kick the ground instead of actually using core strength to flip. Mom moves on point.
I hope what you were just being sarcastic this entire video.
Cause yeah, she can say she was an "Olympian" and had a trip to france. But at what cost? To look like a fool for the rest of history.
Such an insult to the actually talented breakdancers that she was the one chosen to compete in the olympics
Watch me act like a spaz, get an Olympic Invite, have a University pay me and give me a PHD and everyone will applaud. Absurd. Like Women have been excluded from the world of dance. I shake my head, as a species we seem to get dumber and dumber.
Was like watching a demented drunk kangaroo having a Epileptic fit
How did this woman get to the Olympics? I think she was mocking the art and it's so disrespectful. She's so bad it hurts.
