At least she gave things a try, unlike most people

Raise your hands if you’ve been in the Olympics…

Me and my mates so stupid stuff all the time just to mess around… It’s better to try something and fail then not try at all. And she’ll have a great pub story

I read somewhere she and her husband were in charge of the judges for Australia. So it is sounding like it wasn’t totally above board how she got to the Olympics.

Take that with a grain of salt

And when you’re messing around, are you representing your entire nation live? She arguably hurt the sport by delegitimizing it on its debut

Hell nah. Give it a go.

I started a Meetup group a few years ago as a hobby despite no formal training. My group has now outlived many others and I’m surprised by how many people I meet on hikes who have heard of my group and actually listen to my advice these days.

Don’t forget about the guy either who ran an ultra marathon with no real training here in Australia and ended up winning . Turned out his goofy style of running was actually more efficient than normal jogging.

I know someone who is the world record holder for highest gym class She absolutely deserved it. She’s not nims, but she gave it a shot

I know a lady with Parkinson’s who is a cross fit champ. People like you would tell her she should give up

As long as you’re safe and not a danger to others, definitely give things a shot.

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.

To clarify. The hawk tua is the sound one makes when reeling up saliva and then spitting.

The lady in question said her magic blow job secret was spitting all over the knob. Somehow that vibed with the internet.

Some stupid meme about a girl who told in a street interview that men like to get sloppy blowjobs

Why? The ones winning the contests haven’t been on a-social media that often. So she’s most famous for her style. Chapeau!
