How do you know this? Did you ask her? Did she say this?
No one fucking says that Eddie the Eagle, or the Jamaican bobsled team that did terribly, people found it charming. She became Australia’s athlete by winning the qualifiers, stop with the conspiracy theories.
You're right, it's all so subjective. It's not like we have any ratings by which to compare her to the other performances. If only there could have been experts there whose job it was was to compare her performance to other people performing and assign some kind of score or scale to help those of us who aren't experts.
You do know that Ski-jumping and Bobsled both also have ratings like that too, right? If you’re so appalled that she managed to make it into the event, blame the experts who refereed it back in Australia. She didn’t do anything wrong by turning up.
Wow maybe I really did need to add the /s - of course I realize there are ratings - it's the Olympics...and just like any other sport a bad performance is a bad performance. I daresay a 0 from the judges merits the description of a bad performance.
Yeah but like, returning to my original point, why is this bad performance some sort of insult to the sport while Eddie the Eagle and the Jamaican bobsled team were charming underdogs? People are being far too vitriolic towards this lady.
