Australian breaker Rachael Gunn, the Olympian widely known as B-Girl Raygun who went viral after her performance at the Paris Games, is now ranked the No. 1 breaker in the world.
I just looked up a clip of the number two spot, B-Girl Riko. She’s incredible. Placing this clown in the number one spot is an insult to all breakers with talent, skill, and style. What a joke.
That’s exactly what it was. The title only gave points for non-Olympic events. And since the vast majority of events with the best breakers were focused on qualifying for the Olympics, all of those points from the best breakers got excluded. Basically, she’s the only breaker in her country who won a non-Olympic event (because all the people better than her were busy trying to qualify for the Olympics,) so it went to her by default.

I can only assume it’s like boxing. We all expect a knockout and to be entertained, but the reality is usually adding up technical points
