Actually this is true for almost every sport on the planet so I don't think your criteria can exclude any of them.

What if the breakers had to move while the dj plays daft punks harder, better, faster. Would that be sufficient

Commentating should be as colorful as the dancing.

There was a Latvian (or Lithuanian?) 17 year old girl with a durag on bring on her break…apparently goes by the street name of B-Girl Nicka (I $hit you not).
She won the silver medal.

Coincidence?

Could be any one of my mates at dollar drinks night at Parra Leagues in the 90s tbh

The fact that the man who wanted to have a succulent Chinese meal passed away on this same day speaks volumes. He did a better job at breaking, imho

Regarding Raygun/breaking, I'm inclined to believe this was some kind of 'statement'/'stunt' or whatever

(As in she'd say it was a statement and everyone else will say ok, but that's actually a boring stunt)

I think those are just her moves...

Another Bronze for us. Men's wrestling this time. Bronze Age for sure.

Another really pleasant surprise after she came sixth in Tokyo and got bronze in the 2022 Commonwealth Games. Awesome to see such a big step forward.

Yeah, fantastic effort. Shame she got pipped at the end but she threw a pb in an olympic final, can't ask for more than that. I will say, the cameraman didn't handle the moment as well as the athletes - losing the shot on the deciding throw of the comp.

This sounds like something Barbados Slim would have.

Unfortunately she swallowed the hook and couldn't be released back into the water alive.

Australia win 18 golds and yet this is the competitor that goes viral….

Feel sorry for the girl as she’s being hammered on social media

Yeah, she seems alright actually. Admitted she would never compete with the other girls and that she does her own thing. Doesn't take it too seriously.

I mean, hopefully she’s able to take it in good humour cos I mean… surely she can’t be too fussed about being mainstream and being liked.

Absolute bullshit. Forever our Queen.
