Everything is scarier in Australia -- plants... animals... breakdancing.

[JayWerx]

The performance was trash but still 10x better than what she did at the Olympics

[jonanalzate]

This happen when nobody tells you the truth, instead they tell you all the time you are awesome.

[jomarba]

Its like a toddler trying to mimic after watching somebody breakdancing

[realredfox]

She's not breaking, there's one of those venomous Australian spiders on the floor and she's trying to avoid it.

[saraharn]

As an Australian we are wondering how she got there too

[kristyglasgow]

Not being mean but this looks more like interpretive dance than break dancing.

[AMMrawCR]

Imagine being the person who single handedly got a sport removed from the Olympics while also having a PhD in it

[illeagle]

I had no clue Australians had this problem.

[__hz__]

First time I can say I'm better than a Olympic athlete in their specialty.

[jonathanphan]

This looks like someone watching breakdancing for the first time on TV and says "Hold my beer! I got this".

[nivmtzl]

I’ve seen beginners dance like this but with a lot better sense of rhythm and style to their routine. This is what happens when you’re surrounded by “yes” people

[ShadowWizard]

She saved the kangaroo hop for the biggest stage. Respect 🇦🇺 🪃 🐨

[sarahtaylor]

Am I the only confused Gen-Xer that remembers what breakdancing actually is? What in the Grandmaster Flash is even happening?

[nigelliam]

When I was that age that performance wasn’t called dancing it was called walking home from the pub

[evilbob]

THAT was a winning routine? Is Australia just that bad at breaking? How did this happen?

[jwayk]

The qualification routine was better than what she did at the Olympics. But 45 seconds into it you can tell she was tired and losing momentum. Not surprised she scored all zeros:

[Yihwa_G]

It looks like a 'my progress after learning Breakdance for 1 week' video.

[justwait]

If this is the winning performance that country should never be allowed to breakdance ever again. They need to answer to the geneva convention for war crimes against dancing.

She's like those people who think they can sing but they really can't, and nobody wants to crush their fantasy.
