The uproar that occurred when an Australian breakdancer received zero points for her performance at the Olympics overshadowed the achievements of other performers who won medals and made an incredible impression on the dance floor, according to renowned breakdance champions Gabriel “Kwikstep” Dionisio and Ana “Rokafella” Garcia. The controversy surrounding the breakdancer, known as Raygun in breakdancing circles, went viral on social media and even led to accusations of cultural appropriation. Despite the negative attention, the couple expressed frustration that the focus was not on the talented medallists who should have been celebrated.
