Speaker 1 (00:00):
I was so excited to bring this to you because
I knew you wouldn't watch the project.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
And I think, you know, a lot.
Speaker 1 (00:04):
Of us don't sit down and now make appointment television
with Free to Wear.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
It just doesn't happen. It's not how the world works anymore.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
No, But thank god for social media because then you
can catch up on the things that you love. And
so I knew, of course that Reyguan, our breakdancing sensation
from the Paris Games, was doing her world first exclusive
on the projects.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
So I've watched the segment. You watched it, yeah, and
I'm going to bring you the highlight.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
So it was with Walid Ali.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
We did try and get him on yesterday, but he
was too busy for us, and that was clearly because
he was preparing questions for the So the first thing
she answers is she's trying to justify why people were
so annoyed at her, and this is going to annoy
you about her even more.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
People didn't understand breaking and we're just angry about my performance.
How did you qualify for the Paris twenty twenty four Olympics.
I won the Oceania Championship.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
I mean that's hard to argue. If you win the
Oceania Championships, then yes you are the representative, if you're
the number one.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Okay, But she's also coming up.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
She's trying to make excuses why people were annoyed at
her performance.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
When people say you don't understand breaking you, what do
I have to understand? I know from looking at it
that you're not as good as the other one.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
No, we've seen everyone else in they're amazing. So is
that irritating you a little? Okay?
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Good? Then Walid asked her this question.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
This became such a global storm.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
How much of it were you aware of? Not a lot, actually,
because as soon as I finished, you know, my rounds,
my immediate liaison from the AOC said, oh, there's a
bit of a storm brewing on social media. You might
want to go off socials. And I was like, oh, okay,
I didn't understand the scale of it. And then I
did you know, previews some comments and I was like,
(01:51):
oh no, and I have this kind of sick feeling
started started coming out. I was like, oh goodness, what
is happened?
Speaker 3 (02:01):
That does make me feel a little sorry for it.
That's sick feeling. You think about like, just for a
regular person, you get one negative comment on something a
photo that you've put up, and it hurts, and then
imagine just having millions, millions of negative people.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
The problem I don't know you, yeah, but the problem
I have with that answer, and maybe it is also
in the questioning from Walid is did you genuinely think
that doing a kangaroo dance was going to be acceptable
in a breakdancing sport?
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Right? I mean, that's my On.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Some level, she feels what she presented was justified and
good enough and good enough, and I'm like, I don't
where is that in your brain?
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Anyway?
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Before she hit the games? And this kind of follows on,
was she questioning whether she was good enough?
Speaker 4 (02:55):
As soon as I qualified? I was like, oh my gosh,
what have I done? Because I knew that I was
going to get beaten and I knew that people were
not going to understand my style and what I was
going to do. In the judging criteria, You've got execution, technique, originality, vocabulary,
it's range in rapid traiyal of movement, and musicality, and
(03:16):
so I thought I'd focus on these last three, but
it just wasn't enough to tip the scales. You know,
the odds were against me, that's for sure.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
And I'm back to disliking it.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Yeah, because could you imagine a swimmer going okay, I
know that to win a gold medal, I as a
fifty meter freestyler, I have to be able to swim
the entire pool without taking a breath, making sure that
my arms are pulling through the water, and I'm kicking
as fast as I can imagine going.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Yeah, I'm not going to think about one of those.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Yeah, yeah, I'm just going to focus on a couple
of these things.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Yeah, you're not going to compete and you're not going
to be viable for that sport.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
And there are instances of other Olympians cyclists for example,
that say, look, I qualified first, but I'm not the
best in Australia and I'm going to give up my
spot to the best. It has happened, Oh.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
No, it happened in Paris with the velodrome, right the
guy who has been there for three Olympics, realized that
he wasn't fast enough to lead out the pack. He
backed off and I can't remember under the name, and
I wish I could, because he then went to the
back of the pack and let the fast one lead
them out.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Yeah, it happens. So if you know, if you know
that you're not good enough and there are people that
are that are good enough, you got to step down.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Would you do that?
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Though?
Speaker 1 (04:27):
If you had an Olympic moment and it was your
only chance.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Now this is the other side.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Of that, right, go to Paris to it all.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Chance, to go to Paris, chance in a sport that
will not continue.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
This is it? Yeah, you take it.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
I don't know, not if you knew someone was better,
not if you knew there was someone who was going
to actually have a real crack at it. I don't reckon,
surely not.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
I do you reckon?
Speaker 3 (04:48):
You still go?
Speaker 2 (04:49):
I think Australians would go. Should be right mate?
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Yeah, I mean that's obviously the attitude she's gone in with.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Maybe not with a kangaroo bounce.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
And we're done with the memes. Now I've had enough,
By the way, I don't want to see that this
is what happens when my toddler comes into bed and
then shots of rain guns spinning around. I've had enough.
It's fun, but let's put it to bed.
