How many female breakdancers are there in the world?
Well, after reading this next bit, my best guess is one.
Bro, this has to be a troll. There's no other explanation. Troll me into saying how ridiculous this is, or troll me into laughing at it — either way, it's a troll, and it's fantastic!
Lady laid a straight egg at the Olympics and she's now the world's #1 female breakdancer? The simulation gets dumber every single day.
Australian Olympian Rachael ‘Raygun' Gunn has been named as the world's top female breakdancer by the World DanceSport Federation.
The 37-year-old university lecturer made global headlines for her unorthodox performance at the Paris Olympic games as well as the controversy surrounding her qualification for the event.
Let's bounce over to Raygun for her thoughts:
On Wednesday, the WDSF said its rankings were based on dancers' top four performances within the past 12 months — but not the Paris Games or the Olympic qualifier events in Shanghai and Budapest.
With fewer events held in the lead-up to the Olympics in order to allow athletes to focus on qualification, the WDSF said ‘many athletes have only one competition result contributing to their ranking.'
Raygun topped the ranking with 1,000 points thanks for her single win at the Oceania Continental Championship last October.
I knew breakdancing was coming to the Olympics. However, I didn't realize that a complete mockery of the dance genre would be made in just a few short months.
Good for the World DanceSport Federation though for making this call.
All publicity is good publicity, so they're just making lemonade out of the lemons they were dealt!
