World cruelly mocks Aussie's 'breaking' performanc..

The Olympics debuted a new sport in Paris, 'breaking', and Australia's entrant became the laughing stock of the world after a brutal debut.

00:00Now, Luke, we also saw braking make its debut at the Olympics.

00:04How did it all go?

00:07Yeah, look, a bunch of confused faces, I think,

00:10trying to make sense of what was going on.

00:12It's not gone down, perhaps,

00:14as the International Olympic Committee would have liked.

00:16They've introduced a whole bunch of alternative sports

00:19over the course of the last Olympic cycle.

00:20So we're talking skateboarding, BMX, the rock climbing.

00:24All have been pretty solid inclusions

00:27and have stood the test of time

00:29and now being accepted amongst the Olympic family.

00:32Braking's already been dumped from the schedule

00:34for Los Angeles in four years' time.

00:35So I don't think we'll be seeing that again any time soon.

00:37We had that woman there, 36-year-old Rachel Gunn,

00:40or B-Girl Ray Gunn, as they like to be called.

00:43And she had three battles in the qualifying round.

00:45They're not called match-ups or anything like that.

00:47They're called battles.

00:48And scored zeros in all three of her battles.

00:52So short-lived time in the spotlight for Ray Gunn,

00:55but she did her best, and that's all that matters.

00:57Wearing the green and gold,

00:59she has come in for a lot of mocking online

01:02on social media as well.

01:03So that is probably the sad side of this whole story,

01:07while we are also trying to work out our break dancing

01:10in terms of what we make of it, what we think of it.

01:13Does it belong at the Olympic level?

01:15There is a human at the middle of it as well in Ray Gunn.

01:18So the social media stuff,

01:20hopefully she doesn't see much of that going on.
