    Did anyone actually watch the whole event? She had both the Gold and Silver medalists among her first battles. She frankly never stood a chance.

    Not that I could really get through the event, a lot of it was too weird for me, I kept skipping through the routines. She was by no means the only weird one. But yes, turning up in uniform was a bad choice. A few of the girls had “street” versions of their uniforms, but Raygun was the only one who turned up lime she was at the opening ceremony.

    My favourite bits were the sign language the girls employed and the sassy things they were saying. The US dancer signed that the neat moves the Chinese dancer did were choreographed and not freestyle. The Chinese straight-up said ‘that was shit’ to something the US girl did.

    Nobody said anything about the Aussie girl’s stuff. Maybe it was genuinely too weird to even comment on? Maybe the girls she was facing knew they were in another class and didn’t feel the need to comment?

    As a sport, I don’t know that it’s my thing. But there are plenty of traditional sports like dressage and fencing that aren’t my thing either.

    The Chinese girl was great - I actually agree that she had pre-programmed moves, but those moves were quite good. The Japanese girl (Ami) who won it was a little battery of joy and energy. I’m very glad she won gold. She was the favourite in our house.
