Suspect it was that weird, tone-deaf, self-absorbed movie about herself and their love that she made - he was embarassed; it's not who he is at all.

@blah2424 The young male breakdancer did a great athletic routine - he spun on his head, did those flip/somersault-thingies and more. He was streets ahead of Raygun, even if he did only get a couple of points.

@beckdavis So basically, what you're saying is that an esteemed commentator or coach should compete in, let's say, an athletics event, over and above the actual athlete - just because they have more knowledge?   

Sorry, but Knowledge and Research is not Doing.  She was not even remotely up to the mark, and received no marks as a a result - and questions need to be asked as to why she was there.
And Steven Bradbury was an actual athlete who was above to keep up with his peers.

Calling her performance "awkward" is too polite. 

There are dance studios across the country full of talented breakdancers who would have loved the chance to compete, and could have easily learned the moves required and vastly improved on the low skill level displayed by Raygun. 
I can also guarantee you that many will be from minority backgrounds. 
So why was this poor performer given the trip to the Olympics over all of them?

I think women need to move on from turning birth into some sort of ritual. For me, it was just: Get the baby out the fastest way possible, with as little pain involved as possible - so that we can both get on with our lives.

Here's something else: judging by comments and media snippets online, it seems Victoria trimmed a couple of years off her age back in the Spice Girls era, just as every actress/model/celeb does... so she's actually your age.

I live very close to The Block, and earlier this year (when they were filming) I saw one of the show's vehicles parked on my street, with two contestants (you could tell by the TV makeup) standing next to it having a very agitated teary conversation, while a cameraman filmed.  At the time, I thought: That looks pretty intense.
