I watched almost all the breaking live and I don’t think she was nearly as bad as everyone made her out to be, the editing and music behind most of the reels intentionally made it look much worse than it was. She didn’t have the same level of athleticism as most of the competitors, but even though her moves were generally more basic and less complex, she was on beat. She seemed out of her league in terms of what she was physically capable of accomplishing, but there were one or two others that also weren’t on the same level as their competitors. I don’t believe for a second that she intentionally danced poorly to prove a point, as some of her defenders are claiming. She genuinely looked like she did the best she could, but was simply outmatched in this competition, and definitely doesn’t deserve all the hate and ridicule.
I agree with that, they probably shouldn’t have sent her to the Olympics to begin with, not sure how she ended up qualifying. My point was just that the reels and memes make it look much worse than it actually came across while watching the competition in real time. She was extremely outmatched and deserved the zero votes she got, but I don’t think she deserves to be internationally ridiculed, I feel bad for her.
