I was able to find a longer clip of her via BBC iPlayer, but the IOC are copyright striking any videos outside of their official paid channels. How can it go viral when the IOC are so antiviral?!

I think a lot of people also learned breakdancing was part of the Olympics.

Chozo ,

"Was" being the operative word.

AlexanderESmith ,

Er... someone else wanna tell him the other thing?

Synthuir ,

…and then at least another 4, because the LA Olympics isn’t going to have breakdancing.

I think this was the first year.

My personal hot take: anything judged shouldn’t be part of the olympics. Keep it to objective competitions. For example, running. It’s all scored by time. Easy.

Running has judges. Just the other day in the women’s 1500m (I think) a woman was initially disqualified for pushing someone. She appealed and the decision was reversed. It’s all about interpretation and subjectivity.

I can’t think of any sport that doesn’t have a judge or referee that has to subjectively interpret athlete’s actions and the sport’s rules.

Grass ,

surely there’s more to it than the tiny clips within twitter posts linked in the article. you can’t write an article about someone dancing, explain it poorly, and show someone else’s second and a half recording of just one part of it, but only after the posts comparing it to some random ass tv show. but I guess that’s what journalism is now.

I am pretty sure I know what she watched on Australian TV as a kid.

Fun fact: Ballroom dancing used to be an Olympic event.

I mean, if i got the opportunity to compete in the Olympics in a sport i sucked at, I'd probably take it too
