I saw someone describe her performance as olympic in spirit, but I think what’s more significant is the Australian spirit shown.

She’s basically dressed as a PE teacher. Her movements were competent and decently timed, but she was clearly out of her league compared to the other competitors. She comes from a country with a very small breakdancing culture and is 36 years old, was the best of the women’s contestants that showed up, and has a PhD in breaking.
Her performance was actually competent, mixed in with silly movements like the kangaroo and various slides. She showed more dynamic movement than any of her fellow competitors and less repetition. A novelty sport in its first year should be about doing your best and having fun trying, and this is something that Australians are supposed to pride ourselves on.

Australia has ‘having a fair go’ as one of our main national values. Our culture embraces having a fun joke, half the things we tell foreigners about our country are made up, and the ones that aren’t are still often silly enough that you guys can’t actually tell. We make jokes at our own expense, and we take pride in not being too full of ourselves.

Raygun’s performance showed the best available competitor doing her best, having a good time, being creative, and having the spirit too have a laugh at her own expense. I think we should be laughing with her, and I think Australians should be proud that she was willing to dress like a primary school student and have a laugh while still giving a fair crack.
