Australian person who basically got the gov to pay for her trip to Paris under the guise of participating in the breakdancing portion of the Olympics. She studies culture or something so some ppl think she was making a statement by being terrible
Not entirely. She did qualify to represent Australia in Bbeaking, not just some rando australian and she does study culture, the cultural politics of breakdancing.
