    Aussie Aussie Aussie!

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

      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
