breaking views

Rachael , Raygun, Gunn worked hard to get to the Olympics.

I read a bit about the thought she put into her performance.

Good on her, I say.

If there's any finger-pointing to be done, it is at the "sport" of break-dancing.

Not as a sport. It's as challenging and as ridiculous as artistic gymnastics. What sort of sport is it to run round waving a long ribbon?

Where breaking fails is in the scoring.

A gymnast can turn up, do some twirls, fall flat on their face -- and still get a few points. Yet breaking allows six routines for a score of zero out of 54. Absolutely meaningless.

Provide a meaningful scoring system and breaking could develop into a real sport.
