Olympic Breakdancing Fail

I’m sure many of you have heard that breakdancing has come to the Olympics this year. You also might’ve heard that an Australian woman by the name of “Rachael Gunn” failed horribly when it was her turn.

So you may be wondering, “What is breakdancing? How does it work in the Olympics?” Well, breakdancing is where you do a very energetic styled dance that looks like this:

The way breakdancing works in the Olympics is that there are nine judges that score every round based on technique, vocabulary, execution, musicality and originality (see this).

Rachael Gunn lost and it went viral because her breakdancing shouldn’t even be considered breakdancing. If you want to see how bad it was, watch this video until the 0:38 timestamp.
