How this was in the Olympics and karate isnt is hard to understand.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Karate isn't in the Olympics because they can't agree on rules and by extension have one rule making body.

I knew acid culture was huge in Australia but man she was feeling it

Ok now that I've finally seen it:

It's funny af but she's not as terrible as I was led to believe. I mean that's not breakdancing but she's at least got fitness, coordination, and balance, but she ISN'T DOING ANYTHING WITH IT!

Like a good dancer that has never heard of pop and lock but had it described to them by a drunk Danish couple.

The only thing I enjoyed about this sport was everybody skipping to the stage like they're one of the Railway Children on their way to collect a hamper from rich, land-owning Uncle Bertie.

They should have had parkour instead.

She spun in her head though. That's kinda impressive. Right?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago

if she hadn't stopped 2/3rds of the way through I was about to give her credit for at least one move.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago

Not the way she did it.

Magnificent

Great summary of the Olympics in general. In can't criticize because I've had psychotic episodes with much less twitching.

This person is the “Eddy the Eagle” of the brake dancing world.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago

Soon she’s going to reveal she’s a Borat/Andy Kaufman-esque comedian and we’ve all been pranked.

Not a single link or vid here works for me

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago

I always have these problems on iOS. It’s infuriating.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Not even the shared vid in the post? It's on catbox.moe, should work worldwide.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Me too catbox fails to load

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

IDK, what to say... should work just fine 🤷.

So looks like it fails to load in voyager, but video is fine in lemmy site. Her dance actually is not that bad, but i didn't enjoy the 2nd half

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago

I'm running Voyager 2.13.0. Not the latest, there is an update, but works just fine.

But, F-Droid fails to download the update, either 4G or Wi-Fi, doesn't matter, just fails. Don't think it's related, just giving more info.

RayGun is my hero. Queen of not giving a fuck

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago

I mean, I get the love, but part of me feels bad knowing there were people in Australia with real skill that night have had a chance and she kinda robbed them. If I was a skilled break dancer in her country and saw that I don't think I would feel great about it.

She fucking nailed it. What a baller.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (3 children)

It's still not as athletically impressive as the others I saw, but much more than I was led to believe from the clips making fun of her.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

There were a few moments where it looked like she actually had breakdancing experience compared to the "highlights" I've been seeing. Still, she looked goofy af.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago

It felt like a modern interpretive dancer was given a printed brochure about breakdancing an hour before the show and told to 'wing it'.

She's got strength, balance, timing, and control, but it's like.... she's Eileen Dancing it?! Like she'd kind of have to do that on purpose if she's ever even once seen a breakdancing video.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago

Honestly, her performance was amazingly memorable. I can't remember the other routines the others did that's for sure.
