Raygun single handedly destroyed an Olympic event, and ended the hopes and dreams of people who love and work hard in a physical art form.

The Other Snombelgor :
They're really pushing the "she loved this so much even though she didn't have any natural talent so she studied hard and even when she knew she couldn't match up to the other competitors in skill she decided to just be herself and do her best!" angle, which is great for like. a high school kid trying to win a local sports competition, everybody loves an underdog story. But it failed bc shes a grown adult and is absolutely not an underdog. She grew up ridiculously wealthy and then inserted herself into a space (that was pioneered by historically underserved poc) because she thought it looked cool and started acting like an authority figure because she had this fancy academic background despite having no actual skill or understanding of the culture outside of academia and australia's very small breaking scene. She got selected for the olympics because she and her husband had the money to travel all over australia for breaking competitions which helped her get more points counting toward the country's selection. There were more talented, more qualified breakers who just didn't have thousands of dollars to drop on attending competitions hundreds of miles away and lost out on those points. She saw a culture pioneered by minorities and reduced it down to just a style of dance she could mimic (poorly), then practically paid her way to the top, and when given the duty to represent this thing she supposedly cared so much about on the world stage for the first time she decided to just have fun and be herself, and she made a joke out of breakdancing as a whole, and is STILL playing the victim!!!

It’s so fucking disrespectful to breakdancing, black culture, and women. Made a joke of a category that was NEW.

& the idea that there weren't better dancers in Australia is also false. she just had more resources for travel & access to qualifiers. if she was as passionate about the sport as she claims, she would have sponsored actually capable dancers. she's the definition of a culture vulture.

I have never been able to watch a full clip of her because I am just so embarrassed for her

I’m so confused why the fact she was NOT A GOOD BREAKDANCER didn’t come up ….

Raygun is actually very inspirational to me as an Australian, because now I know that I too could go to the olympics for something I am actually terrible at

I hate it when people get praise for not putting in the work.

I saw someone calling her "inspirational" and I don't think we were talking about the same person because that's insane

I fear the doco was supposed to humanise her, help us understand the situation and maybe feel sorry for her but it only made it worse imo 😂

PeePee LaQueef :
They showed clips of her "breaking" in 2016 and she never progressed past that level. She was the exact same skill wise when she went to the Olympics.

I truly believe it was partially her husband‘s fault. 😳

Fairly got into the Olympics? No she didn't. Multiple competitors said the qualifiers were geared to wealthier people in the scene. They said the registration was crazy and that events required massive travel and were too costly for some of the best people to get in. A sport that started in streets of the South Bronx shouldn't ever price out competitors.

My dad missed this when it happened, so we watched the documentary. He’s still laughing about it a week later.

Allen barfield :
You joke about the swimming thing. There was an Olympian that qualified for his country and had never been in a full size pool. Due to disqualification starts on the other swimmers he ended up being the only swimmer in his heat. Very poor swimmer in relation to the others. But he gave it his all. He gave it his all the next round and lost. But he knew he was on a global stage and gave it his all. He gave the heat the respect it deserved.

Google “who is the executive producer of the new ray-gun documentary”. Then you’ll realize why it’s trying its best to paint her in a good light.

Brooketerra :
"Fairly" is kind of a stretch. It can be argued that the qualification process (that her husband was involved in) was prohibitively expensive and complicated, which limited the field she competed with to qualify.
