Transcripts
now Luke we also saw breaking make its
debut at the Olympics how did it all
go yeah look bunch of confused faces I
think I'm trying to make sense of what
was going on it's not gone down perhaps
as the international Olympic Committee
would have liked they've introduced a
whole bunch of alternative Sports over
the course of the last Olympic cycle so
we're talking skateboarding BMX the rock
climbing all have been pretty solid
inclusions and have stood the test of
time and now being CED amongst the
Olympic family uh breakings already been
dumped from the schedule for Los Angeles
in four years time so I don't think
we'll be seeing that again anytime soon
we had that woman there 36-year-old
Rachel gun or be girl ray gun as they
like to be called and she had three
battles in the qualifying round they're
not called matchups or anything like
that they called battles and scored
zeros in all three of her battles so
shortlived time in the spotlight for ray
gun but she did her best and that's all
that matters wearing the green and gold
she has come in for long lot of uh
mocking online on social media as well
so that is probably the sad side of this
whole story while we are also trying to
work out our break dancing and in terms
of what we make of it what we think of
it does it belong at the Olympic level
there is a human at the middle of it as
well in ray gun so the Social Media
stuff um hopefully she doesn't see much
of that going on
