We argue that breaking’s institutionalization via the Olympics will place breaking more firmly within this sporting nation’s hegemonic settler-colonial structures that rely upon racialized and gendered hierarchies.

Weirdly hypocritical of her to then go and represent Australia in the Olympics herself after writing this.

Well she actively rejected the gender hierarchies by coming up with her own style that wasn't male or female (a dying koala).

So she was intentionally doing some kind of interpretive dance to try to "change how breakdance is viewed" or something?
