  Not pointed at you OP, but it kind of pisses me off how this lady got more attention than the actual breakers and medalists the Olympics.

    Don’t be.

    I who don’t care for sport at all, am now aware more about breaking then I would be; I saw some other matches 100% because of her actions. I would not have bothered otherwise.

    She brings more interest to the sport; I only saw three events, the rock climbing (I climb); some of the kayak (kayak cross is awesome) and some of the breaking.

    So there you have it; of the very small amount of the Olympics I watched, breaking was part of it.

    I had a whole argument with a bud about her PhD in breakdancing.

    My take was that she pushed breakdancing into the human consciousness significantly more than anyone in history ever has so she deserves that PhD, very few people know the name of the person who won the gold but a ton more remember raygun or at the very least ‘that breakdancing lady’. Regardless of how skillfull she actually is. Also, iirc she was actually a classical dance teacher at that school and this was just in response to the Olympics adding breakdancing, I watched an interview where she said something along the lines of ‘I didn’t even care for breakdancing’.

      Interesting thought exercise, but a WILD take. Notoriet shouldn’t be considered the same as actual accomplishment. Otherwise, John Wayne Gacy should be considered the best clown of all time.

      Phil Kim/Phil Wizard (the gold medalist) is a pretty accomplished breaker/bboy.

    What pisses me off is the break dancing is considered an Olympic sport.

    source

    • sigmaklimgrindset@sopuli.xyz ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Eh, painting and chess used to be Olympic sports. Shooting/air rifle still is. Break dancing requires more physicality than all of those.

      I don’t particularly care about gatekeeping what activities that are added/subtracted to the Olympics, as long as it’s competitive and entertaining to watch.

    I don’t care about the Olympics, and many people are the same. So funny shit like this is the only redeeming thing.

    Seriously though she’s shocking. Going into the Olympics with no one but herself and her message in mind

    • theneverfox@pawb.social ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I respect it. We think of the Olympics as this Grand international unity thing, but it’s not. It’s a for profit entertainment company

      It’s not the best in the world, it’s hundreds of feeder organizations that submitted the paperwork, and the people they chose to select

      No one had submitted paperwork for Australian breakdancing… So she and her husband did

      It’s art - intentional or not. Skilled or not (it was not). I don’t even know what county won breakdancing… But that couple made an impact on the world, undoubtedly. I could do some of her moves and anyone would instantly recognize it
