I don't even think I can stand still that long on my feet.

Teqball. "Sports" I'd rather see in the Olympics than the breaking of dance.

Back during the height of my powers, I was pretty good on my hands
I could do a handstand walk for a long time
Even handstand pushups
But being completely still like Jordan is insanely hard

Yep, I was able to walk on my hands pretty easily for a long time when i was younger. Much, much easier than standing in place, nearly completely still. Jordan is easily a world class talent. She's awesome.

Or worse after being told:

“Who’s Mick Jagger?”

Rachael “Raygun” Gunn has made an apology to the breaking community while stating that her “record speaks” to being Australia’s best B-girl, in her first sit-down interview since her controversial appearance at the Paris Olympics made global headlines.

The Australian breakdancer and Macquarie University academic was at the centre of an international wave of controversy after she was knocked out of the round-robin stage of the event for her performance routine that included hopping like a kangaroo and flailing on the floor.

In the interview, which aired on The Project on Wednesday night, Gunn apologised to the breakdancing community after the criticism she had damaged the art form’s reputation.

“There’s been a portion of very angry and, you know, awful responses, not only attacking me but attacking my husband, attacking my crew, attacking the breaking and street dance community in Australia, my family,” she told The Project.

“The energy and vitriol that people had was pretty alarming.”

Gunn also inspired a sketch on US comedian Jimmy Fallon’s The Tonight Show, something she described as evoking “mixed emotions”. She added she was not “in a place yet to watch it”.

“I don’t know whether to hug him or yell at him because – what a platform he ended up giving me, honestly,” she told host Waleed Aly about Fallon.

“I haven’t actually seen the sketch because I don’t think I’m in a place yet to watch it, but I will watch it at some point.”

The 36-year-old also revealed Richard Branson had called her in the wake of the performance to tell her he thought it was “plucky and courageous and fun” – asking her if she would perform on a cruise with musician Boy George.

Gunn also addressed the disapproval from within the breaking community, with some claiming she had set back the progression of the sport.

“It is really sad to hear those criticisms, and I am very sorry for the backlash that the community has experienced, but I can’t control how people react.”

When asked if she thinks she is the best female breaker in the country, Gunn responded: “I think my record speaks to that”.……
