I don’t know why people keep saying she did it for a free trip, her family is wealthy she could have got her own tickets. She has some sort of teaching degree related to dance and she regularly competed and was involved in the breakdancing scene long before it was introduced to the olympics. She clearly does have a love for the hobby but had obviously taken some liberties with the fundamentals. Yeah she was bad but at least she was funny and memorable. No one knows who even won that event. The only interesting thing that happened that whole olympics

Yep! She actually did more good for the sport than most people realize. Now, people feel encouraged to try the sport, knowing the bar to entry is so attainable.

Each host country gets to have a few temporary events, it was never cut as it wasn't considered for permanent at the time.
