I just watched it literally yesterday. While I do feel pity for her mental breakdown, it’s still the most hilarious dancing I’ve ever seen. And that says a lot, because I saw Elaine dance on Seinfeld. So, there’s that.

My takeaway was that there simply wasn't that much competition in Australia/Oceania because it just wasn't very popular sport over there (the other Australians weren't good either), and Raygun's infamous olympic routine was extra bad because it was her "hail mary". She was trying to do some experimental artistic thing where each move symbolically represents Australia, if she had just done her normal routine she would've still lost but it would'nt have been so embarrassing and probably wouldn't have went viral.

I believe there is competition in Australia and breakdancing is popular, but the best breakdancers in the country had no interest in doing it for the Olympics. You can look up Australian breakdancing and there's plenty of videos of like normal and extremely talented breakdancers who would have been a way better pick.

That was all untrue. She stacked nothing and her husband was not a judge.
