Nah. Tokyo had softball (women's) and karate, neither of which were present in Paris. LA is reintroducing softball and baseball at the expense of "breaking" (this was its one-and-done) and other sports I can't specifically recall...
Generally, again with the exception of so-called "action sports" and shit like breaking, sports are decided based on the availability of venues and resources.
Which, oddly, means that Brisbane shouldn't have any issues facilitating whatever events they choose, though I don't think we have a whitewater course yet, and we need a stadium rebuild, but for the most part, 2032 is already largely ahead, on that front.
If we even make it to 2032 without some sort of all-consuming global conflict, that is...
Ironically, she is a lecturer in dance, and literally wrote a PhD on breakdancing, which… Somehow seems appropriate.
There’s an old stereotype that academics don’t understand the real world, or how their “theoretical knowledge” plays out within it, and this performance, perhaps, fits with that…
Either that or she is an elaborate troll. I’m really not sure myself, tbh.
These kinds of academics always couch everything they say and do in a bunch of ambiguous verbiage and ironic posturing so that they can always interpret their own words according to what turns out to be convenient.
So basically, it's a blank check for the "I was just pretending to be retarded" meme IRL.

Like my grandfather (who has a PhD in Economics) says, 'Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach.'
From experience though, most "academics" can't even teach for shit, lol. Which is fine, when it's a specialist lecturer, but if they're also the subject coordinator, or the head tutor, then it makes just getting through the course an absolute slog...
Apparently breakdancing won't be part of 2028 Olympics.
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank her for her service and sacrifice of not doing anything even close to something resembling breakdancing to save society from this critical mass of cringe.
She should have worn her cap backwards and went full buscemi "how do you do fellow kids". She poured all her effort in enthusiasm rather than her dance routine, how bizzare.
It's funny, the dance itself was bizarre and looked more like a parody of breakdancing, but she was kind of cute and endearing in a way. Until she opened her mouth of course, and outed herself as a leftist snowflake.
I wouldn't mind her version of breakdancing so much if she had a) paid her own way there (she can afford it much more than many of the other participants can, anyway), and b) hadn't been touted as "the best in Oceania/Australasia"...
And if, as you say, she had just piped down afterwards and not doubled down on it all. But, as seems to be the case with many of these women, she just couldn't help herself...
Even though I'm not invested in the Olympics in the slightest (both trannies won gold in their boxing weight classes, by the way), I didn't need more embarrassment heaped on my country, so I'm just glad this creature wasn't American. Because you know that's something we could have fielded, in this, the Current Year.
I haven't been following, did the Americans do anything super embarrassing? I heard about that retard Raven Saunders, but don't know about anything beyond that. Again, haven't watched it though. I assume there were plenty of other terrible moments from the good ol' US.
On your latter question, I would say Noah Lyles running the 200 with Covid after jumping around like crazy before the start, underperforming, hugging his fellow competitors, and then collapsing and being wheeled away and taken to hospital would be up there. As would the mens’ relay team completely fucking up the baton handover and over-running the change like a bunch of schoolkids…
But both of those incidents could be put down to sheer arrogance, more than anything else…
The high jumper refusing to share gold (with the New Zealander) and then being totally annihilated in the resulting “jump off” was similarly arrogant, but more funny and farcical than anything, tbh…
How can you make it to the Olympics yet break ( hehe ) under that level of ''pressure'' that can be skipped by not deliberately looking at what people write online?
reads story
Oh, so she was never supposed to be at the olympics.
Break dancing shouldn't even be an event there.
Her performance is the equivalent of an unremarkable amateur who trained for a few months. GTFO the olympics cunt.
PPS : A woman totally unqualified somehow ended-up in an extremely prestigious position, at which she performed extremely poorly, then all the media rushed to portray people criticizing her and joking online as ''abuse'', ''harassment'' and ''mysoginy''.
Apparently people need to censor "bad" words (kill, rape, suicide) so the algorithm doesn't demote their tweets by categorizing them as sensitive or violent or whatever.
#justtw*ttXrthings
Did this woman really have no one in her life? No friends or family who cared about her enough to tell her that this was a bad idea and that she shouldn't embarrass herself like this on an international stage?
This is an indictment of society, that someone can be that alone in the world.
I'm really just responding to your claim that women "virtually never do swipes or windmills" when almost all of the qualifying competitors did just that.
Also, you can try looking at the medal competition instead of just the qualifier round.

in case anyone missed her routine
Wait. Break dancing is a fucking Olympic sport?
For some reason the french chose this over something iconic like parkour.
they're french
Hence why it would make sense for them to make parkour, which is French, an Olympic sport. Rather than breakdancing, which isn't.
I thought it had been included at the previous Olympics.
Nah. Tokyo had softball (women's) and karate, neither of which were present in Paris. LA is reintroducing softball and baseball at the expense of "breaking" (this was its one-and-done) and other sports I can't specifically recall...

I'm sure it will be over before then. Conflicts last decades without much action, but direct wars last a few years at best
Just more black worship.
Funny part is breaking was founded by white and Latino people and is dominated by Asians.
IOC trying to pander to the youths by adding an event that was last popular in 1987.
“Hello, fellow kids.”
She looked like a boomer trying to fit in with the younger generation but doesn't know lick about the hobby.

Like my grandfather (who has a PhD in Economics) says, 'Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach.'
And those who can't teach, teach gym, right?
Yeah, I've heard that one.
From experience though, most "academics" can't even teach for shit, lol. Which is fine, when it's a specialist lecturer, but if they're also the subject coordinator, or the head tutor, then it makes just getting through the course an absolute slog...
Hahahahahahaha
Those who can't do, teach.
<Gets degree in dance>
"Why don't I make as much money as men? Must be sexism."
she thought her phd in breakdancing culture would help
Holy shit. I couldn't take more than ten seconds of that. It was so much cringe that I wanted to crawl out of my skin to get away from it.
I can't believe you've done this.
Here's the women's gold medal breakdancing match for comparison.

I thought it would be a joke but it's better than that stupid ice skating thing they do in the winter Olympics.
Apparently breakdancing won't be part of 2028 Olympics.
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank her for her service and sacrifice of not doing anything even close to something resembling breakdancing to save society from this critical mass of cringe.
Honestly aside from her the rest of the competition was pretty fun to watch.
Here's the gold medal match: https://youtu.be/KjWzEAsQuvA
It's trash. Barely better than the feminist academic.
Lol
...and it's gone.
God I hate how all video of the olympics is getting nuked off the internet. It's insufferable.
Watches routine
They could have given her three 10s (for whatever clown world reason) and people would still be mocking that spectacularly uncoordinated display.
They dumped breakdancing as a sport for the 2028 games. Shocking.
She should have worn her cap backwards and went full buscemi "how do you do fellow kids". She poured all her effort in enthusiasm rather than her dance routine, how bizzare.
It's funny, the dance itself was bizarre and looked more like a parody of breakdancing, but she was kind of cute and endearing in a way. Until she opened her mouth of course, and outed herself as a leftist snowflake.
When she does her stupid version of the headstand spin thing, you can tell she got a fat ass.
I wouldn't mind her version of breakdancing so much if she had a) paid her own way there (she can afford it much more than many of the other participants can, anyway), and b) hadn't been touted as "the best in Oceania/Australasia"...
And if, as you say, she had just piped down afterwards and not doubled down on it all. But, as seems to be the case with many of these women, she just couldn't help herself...

C'mon, Lyles got the 200m Bronze medal at the Olympics! That's a phenomenal effort. Almost like Michael Jordan's famous 'flu game'.
No wonder she did so poorly. Everything is upside-down to her.
If everything was upside down, she might actually be able to breakdance.
I think the Taiwanese one got silver (?), but otherwise yes…
Nope, looks like they both got gold.
Imane Khelif (66kg)
Lin Yu Ting (57kg)
I am shocked.
P.S. : MY FUCKING SIDES THE JOKES.

Where have I see this before? checks forum name
Marxists like the BBC have been using their manufactured stories to defend her.
“she’s been attacked online”
“she’s a victim”
I award you no points and may god have mercy on your soul.
I see these things and I get hung up on the fact that apparently it's necessary to spell "abuse" with an asterisk.
Apparently people need to censor "bad" words (kill, rape, suicide) so the algorithm doesn't demote their tweets by categorizing them as sensitive or violent or whatever.
#justtw*ttXrthings
She's an example of feminist entitlement running rampant in the world of Western academia. And just like this 'performance', it's 100% cringe.
There used to be an ad about alcohol abuse in New Zealand. This “Olympic” performance reminds me of the ad:
https://youtu.be/rCbh2eU1Gcc?si=LFP6SpejANjLZk5M
I might just be a little too tired, but is this person.... well. They look a little manish. Am I imagining it?
This is sad.
Did this woman really have no one in her life? No friends or family who cared about her enough to tell her that this was a bad idea and that she shouldn't embarrass herself like this on an international stage?
This is an indictment of society, that someone can be that alone in the world.
Looking at her facial expressions and mannerisms, I'm not convinced that this whole thing isn't a prank.
...Is that a tranny?
https://youtu.be/KjWzEAsQuvA
There was plenty of good breakdancing with the other competitors.
Cool.

Oh I just saw your username. I get it now.
Not surprised that that's your impression of what bboying is...
I admit, this is funny, but you're still a piece of shit.
