could have been worse. she could have been an australian breakdancer that actually participated.

[-]

InquisitorMeow@reddit

I thought it was pretty hilarious tbh.

[-]

The crazy thing about that incident is that no recognized breakdancing organization was behind its inclusion in the Olympics. It was proposed by a ballroom dance organization. They wanted competitive ballroom dancing at the Olympics but realized it was way too old fashioned and unpopular so they pivoted to breakdancing to get their foot in the door with the Olympics community. Actual breakdancing organizations are pissed

katilkoala101@reddit

not to mention that there is usually a contest/qualifiers to pick who goes to the olympics.

The winners husband was one of the judges.

[-]

Blibbobletto@reddit

No he wasn't he was her coach

[-]

wrongitsleviosaa@reddit

Kinda worse integrity-wise when you think about it

[-]

morbnowhere@reddit

Still, she is a damce teacher who probably knows a hundred and fifty 19yo's that deserved that spot. And all of Australia just shrugged. Charges should have been brought against her and her "coach".

Even worse, there's video of her actually doing breakdance, so she just threw the competition. And then tried to sell it as "promoting freedom in dance". Disgusting ☕ behavior.

I was gonna use the clown emoji, but its redundant.

themightyscott@reddit

Charges brought against them. Think you might need some fresh air.

[-]

qwertyalguien@reddit

Nah, this is just a meme. There were actually several qualifiers and the spastic gal won fair and square. It just happens that she was the best breakdancer available that would pass a drug test lmao.

[-]

Jeri_Lee@reddit

Shit seems like a psyop to embarrass breakdancing so it never returns as an event.

Your entire career could end if you smoke this cig

smoke it anyway

What's your point?

[-]

JoeyoMama69420@reddit

Nicotine helps relieve stress, she was probably stressed out and smoking helps her calm down

[-]

AliensDid911Bro@reddit

I've been an on and off smoker for 12 years. You can't figure something out for an important life event. I personally think getting kicked out of the Olympics for smoking is extreme but I get it if there was an expectation and she violated it also. It's a huge grey area.

But the Netherlands volleyball rapist was allowed to continue on in the games....being a prick or smoking a cigarette arnt crimes

[-]

buttertoastey@reddit

Cigarettes are only allowed for age 20+ in Japan, so while it isn't a crime in France, it is in Japan

[-]

floralbutttrumpet@reddit

But she was in France. Same way a French 19yo on a flight from Frankfurt to Tokyo with JAL can drink on the way there, but not on the way back - jurisdiction decides, not nationality.

[-]

OlipolipHUN@reddit

Not the case everywhere. I don't know about Japan but where I live(Hungary) if you do something abroad that's legal there but not at home you still committed a crime and could be prosecuted(even if you are a dual citizen).

[-]

RealHellcharm@reddit

actually if im not wrong they found out she was smoking in Japan itself, so that would be a crime

[-]

jewrassic_park-1940@reddit

Cool. Still an incredibly moronic thing to get mad about

[-]

Laser_Souls@reddit

A flight is different though, when I was buying liquor in Japan they were making me confirm I was at least 20 or 21

[-]

floralbutttrumpet@reddit

That's the point - a plane is usually legally jurisdiction of the country it's registered in. But JAL has - or had, when I last flew with them - a loose understanding to apply the rules of the country its flights leave from. FRA-NRT is then legally considered Germany, NRT-FRA is legally Japan wrt to alcohol consumption. A 19yo can drink on the first, but not the second.

The idea is that the laws of the jurisdiction you're in trump the legislation of your nationality - hence Polish women today and Irish women in the past going to Germany/the UK to get a legal abortion.

[-]

Karpsten@reddit

That still doesn't mean she committed a crime though. If a 19 year old American goes to France, he is also allowed to buy alcohol there, even though it's only legal with 21 in the States.

[-]

fixhuskarult@reddit

[-]

it_was_taken_2times@reddit

the japanese legal system is weird about that since they apply laws to japanese citizens no matter where they are. for example youre not allowed to do weed in the netherlands as a japanese citizen despite it being legal there but these laws are rarely if ever enforced

[-]

LethrblakaBlodhgarm2@reddit

Probably a side effect of that dude who straight up ate someone and got off due to some legal bs

[-]

AutopsyDrama@reddit

Oh! I didn't know that. At least it's not a major crime like the one I mentioned though. I'd still rather have a 19yr old smoker compete over Netherlands Steven Van de Velde who raped a 12yr old when he was 19.

I think you mistook here with another one https://www.nbcnewyork.com/paris-2024-summer-olympics/swimmer-luana-alonso-kicked-out-olympic-village/5673869/

Digging a bit about Japan's case, it seems like a mixed between rule breaking but actually just a more 'formal' way to send her home because she had sign of mental issue, as report said that she was "under immense pressure period to the event".

The Japanese legal smoking age is 20 - Being expected to follow your own countries laws when representing them on the national stage should be a given.

[-]

AutopsyDrama@reddit

When i was 19 i went to the US..i cant legally drink there but i can legally drink back home so are you saying i should follow the laws of my home country not of the country im in at the time? That makes no sense. She should follow the laws of the country she is in. You can smoke at 19 in France so she did not commit any crime.

[-]

Computer2014@reddit

When you are you are representing your nation you should uphold the image of your country. In the same way your job can fire you if you do something stupid in work uniform you shouldn’t openly break your countries laws just because you’re in another country.

Obviously she’s not in legal trouble - That’d be dumb and too far. But Japan is within its rights to withdraw her from the Olympic because of it.

[-]

cococolson@reddit

Japan has such a sex pest problem you can't buy cameras that are silent, by your logic they should have sent a representative who molests women on public transit

[-]

True, I didnt think of it like that tbh. Good point. I still dont think she should have been sent home though.

[-]

cococolson@reddit

That's stupid. Japan has no power abroad.

[-]

LolTheMees@reddit

They do. You don’t know their laws.

[-]

JudicatorArgo@reddit

Smoking one year earlier than the legal age in her country is such a horrific crime, clearly she needs to be publicly hung.

that makes more sense - she broke the law

Actually lesbian relationships have way higher rates of domestic violence than straight ones. Lowest to highest violence it goes gay<straight<lesbian.

Because women are fuckin' psychos.

[-]

jakerfv@reddit

The study you're citing is a bit misleading cuz it only asks of abuse in their life, not by their direct partner. So two women in a relationship are going to report higher abuse because women are more likely to experience sexual violence in general, the study didn't even ask if those abuses came from other women, it was just "have you ever experienced sexual violence before".

If anything, women are cringe, not psychos. Now if you'll excuse me, I gotta kiss my homies goodnight.

It's not like they're cornering at 7G for hours in 100F+ weather or anything, totally not physically demanding. Drag racing drivers have had their retinas detach from their eye under 6G of braking. Also weight limits, drivers are skinny for a reason

Any sport where you can win first place despite staying up all night playing videogames is not a demanding sport.

Max is a different beast and he won that race while also in the top car, and also WDC. It was literally the most dominant a driver has ever been in the history of the sport. You're really saying it's easy cause Max makes it look easy? They lose 3kg just by sweating
