Australian Olympian Received 0 Points For Her Breakdancing Performance

An Australian Olympian went viral over the weekend for receiving zero points for her breaking performance. However, she doesn't seem to be fazed by the critics.

Breakdancing was one of the most anticipated events at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. It was the first time the sport was included in the Olympic games and people couldn't wait to see what was in store. Well, it didn't disappoint. The audience was treated to a unique show, including one participant receiving zero points for her breakdancing performance. How's that possible?

Lots of people are talking about the breakdancing portion of the Olympic Games. We've never seen anything like it in the games before. In the end, Canadian Phil "Wizard" Kim took home the gold for men's breakdancing and Ami Yuasa of Japan won gold in the women's competition. I was shocked when I saw the men's breakdancing gold was won by a Canadian. Who saw that happening, eh?

However, it's not just the medalists that are getting the most attention from the breaking competition. Some other competitors have gotten some attention and not for the best of reasons. Australian Rachael "Raygun" Gunn is also getting a lot of attention for her breaking performance for which she received zero points. Zero! How's that possible? After watching the performance, you might understand. Is she actually trolling us all?

Look, I'm no dancer. However, if the party and mood is right I'll bust a move. I kid you not when I jokingly dance, it ends up kind of looking like what Raygun was doing out there. It's...goofy, that's for sure. She fakes a yawn at her opponent's dance before starting her own. At one point it appears she's even hopping around like a kangaroo? It's definitely not as smooth as the other routines we saw during the competition. However was it worth a zero? I'm sure one of those moves had to count for something! To train hard (I imagine) and to go overseas to compete you'd certainly expect to leave with a better score.

According to BroBible, Gunn said, "All my moves are original. Creativity is really important to me. I go out there and I show my artistry. Sometimes it speaks to the judges and sometimes it doesn't. I do my thing and it represents art. That is what it is about." Sure, I get that. Be true to yourself. However, if you're in a competition you might want to do some established moves and maybe don't do all your original moves.

Chloe Fineman, of Saturday Night Live, got in on the fun making fun of the dancing on her TikTok. Check out her follow-up video below.

The Summer Olympics will take place in Paris, France this Summer! Unfortunately, there's not much to look forward to this year. There aren't many well-known athletes competing in the games this year. Ratings aren't expected to be great this time around. However, there is a way to bring a huge amount of viewers to the TV to watch the games. It will just require some changes to the games. Here are 5 extreme Red Bull sports that should be in the Olympics!

These extreme sports will likely not be in the games any time soon. However, if they want good ratings they should definitely add these sports to the lineup.

The Paris games kick off Friday, July 26th and it will conclude on August 11th. At the 2024 Paris Games, there will be swimming, archery, rhythm gymnastics, tennis, diving, wrestling, and more. Sound exciting? Yeah, didn't think so. However, if they added some extreme sports, things would probably be more interesting! Honestly, right now the thing I'm looking forward to seeing the most are cool shots of Paris. It's a beautiful city. The competition? Not very exciting this time around.

Red Bull Sports have been making waves for a while now. They've done some very extreme stuff that has gone viral. Some of the things they've done have never been attempted before, and probably never will be again. That's the kind of activity I want to see at the games! I can watch people swim in any public pool at any time during the summer months. These extreme sports are much harder to find.

Seriously, they should consider doing this. It's not like they'd struggle to find athletes to compete in the games. There are people doing daring stunts and participating in extreme sports in every country in the world, I imagine. Additionally, people love watching this kind of stuff! It's time to update the games a little. We need to bring them into the 21st century. How do we do that? Extreme sports. Here are 5 Red Bull sports I'd like to see integrated into the Olympics.

Come on! Who wouldn't want to watch this? They're going at insanely fast speeds at ridiculous heights! Not to mention someone could get seriously hurt at any minute. You wouldn't be able to look away. Well, I know I wouldn't be able to. This needs to be added at the games.

Remember this? It went viral when it happened back in 2012, turning Felix Baumgartner into a household name. Now, we've seen it's possible. Let's bring it to the games! You could see who does the most tricks, has the best landing, I'm not sure if you could do speed because of gravity, but there's a lot you can do! Sure, it might take a while, but so does the swimming! Countries have fought over the Space Race for years, now we could bring that battle back, in a slightly different way!

Diving is already a part of the Olympic Games, why not add a little extra flavor? Those gyms and pools they dive into are so boring. Can't we have them jump from a cliff? Or throw some sharks in the water, or something? They need to think about we the viewer. Then they can address the athlete's needs and safety.

This would be really cool to see! Of all the options, this might be the closest to reality. I could see it actually happening! At least, to an extent. The sounds, the view, the rush! It's all so amazing. I'd much rather watch this than two guys wrestling. Not even the cool wrestling, either!

Is it me, or do the Olympic Games take themselves a little too seriously? Let's add some lighthearted fun with this Funky Bike Race. Each team could built their own, or use something native to their home country. It was be fascinating, entertaining, and educational! Think about all the culture and things you could learn about unfamiliar countries around the world! This could end up becoming the most entertaining game in all of the Olympics. They just need to take a leap and add it to the lineup!
