That just looks like a javelin with extra foam on it
That supposed to be my comment, lol :P
Edit: started reading more about it and it is basically Korean version of FGM-148 Javelin and Israeli Spike-MR ATGM, and they all look very similar. Even Javelin has that foam attachment (just a different shape).
Glad I’m not the only one thinking that.
She really did singlehandedly turn “breaking” into a punchline, didn’t she?
I’ve seen the memes but what actually happened?
The Australian women’s breakdancing contestant performed an absolutely inexplicable routine with no breakdancing in it and just a bunch of random body movements and extreme weirdness. Her official explanation is that she knew she couldn’t compete with the younger, more athletic contestants (she’s like 40) so she decided to compete with creativity, but I’m sure there’s something else going on. My theory is that she had something like a panic attack and was basically out of her head and got all these weird ideas and had a freak out.
I heard that it was a nepo job- she or someone she knows/is related to is on the aussie breakdance committee. I may be spreading misinformation tho cba to Google
My theory is that she made a joke of it because it was already planned that the event would be a one of anyway so clearly the IOC doesn’t give a crap about the discipline.
It destroyed her career, I doubt it was deliberate…
Career? I doubt she was doing that as a career
