00:00Now Luke, we also saw braking make its debut at the Olympics. How did it all go?
00:07Yeah look, a bunch of confused faces I think. I'm trying to make sense of what was going on.
00:12It's not gone down perhaps as the International Olympic Committee would have liked. They've
00:16introduced a whole bunch of alternative sports over the course of the last Olympic cycle. So
00:20we're talking skateboarding, BMX, rock climbing. All have been pretty solid inclusions and have
00:27stood the test of time and now being accepted amongst the Olympic family. Braking's already
00:32been dumped from the schedule for Los Angeles in four years time. So I don't think we'll be
00:35seeing that again anytime soon. We had that woman there, 36-year-old Rachel Gunn or B-Girl
00:41Ray Gunn as they like to be called. And she had three battles in the qualifying round. They're
00:45not called matchups or anything like that. They're called battles. And scored zeros in all three of
00:51her battles. So short-lived time in the spotlight for Ray Gunn, but she did her best and that's all
00:56that matters. We're in the green and gold. She has come in for a lot of mocking online on social
01:02media as well. So that is probably the sad side of this whole story while we are also trying to
01:08work out our breakdancing and in terms of what we make of it, what we think of it, does it belong at
01:13the Olympic level.
