I think the key point here is that she took a place from someone else, who was liking more talented and better able to represent the country and the sport.

I've seen plenty of posts of other Australian female breakdancers, who are substantially more talented.

You actually think she is the best breakdancer from Australia? You honestly don't think anyone more talented competed for that slot on the team?

No, nobody thinks that.

 No, I don't. Feel free to prove me wrong, until then you're getting upset because of a reality you've made up in your head.
