She was warned, and acknowledged it in an interview before the Olympics. But, she could go to the Olympics. Honestly, it's kind of weirdly brave to knowingly go and embarrass yourself in front of a global audience. And it's mostly harmless.

I mean it's a mortal wound to breakdancing, Australia as a country, and the Olympics as an institution, all of which must necessarily be taken less seriously now. But other than that. 🤣

It's probably the only time Breaking will be at the Olympics (already pulled from LA), and instead of the story being about the downright incredible athleticism and art being shown by the other competitors, people are remembering this.

But embarrassing oneself is one thing, taking away chances from people that actually try really hard.... Kinda mean

Whatever I've spent enough time on her now. Time to live life again.
