[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This woman is completely lacking in self awareness. Watch some YouTube interviews. She continues to double down on her “doing her best.” She is a dunning Kruger narcissist who conned her way into academia by choosing a niche area of focus. Then she conned her way into the Olympics because of odd Australian rules for this “sport”. She did a bunny hop. Then after she claimed sexism or whatever.[/quote]
It’s the Olympics. Doing your best is not good enough[/quote]

Sure it is. If you qualify, which Gunn did through a series of competions, then you go to the Olympics. That’s the process and Gunn isn’t responsible for or to blame for that process.

Once you get to the Olympics, doing your best is what counts. For some, that will mean a medal. For others it means the pride of just being at the competition.

If Gunn wasn’t a nearly middle aged white woman, she wouldn’t be getting this hate. [/quote]

That is not true at all. I think anyone who came to the Olympics and showed so poorly would be getting raised eyebrows. The x factor here is that she was doing this weird thing in a dancing competition. I think any of the sports where artistic flair is part of the competition would have garnered the same result - it's just especially funny in one where there isn't really a sport anyway, it's ALL artistic flair. And hers was just bad! I think this curdled once it came out that she'd suppressed better dancers from Australia. Now it's not just, well Australia doesn't have good dancers and this one was hysterically bad but at least she gave it her all. It was - wow, this PhD in breakdancing rigged the contest to prevent actual dancers from being able to compete because she wanted to do it herself, and that sucks. Though I guess every Olympic athlete has some ruthlessness in them or they wouldn't have gotten this far.
