    I just don’t understand how this happened. Did no one else on the Australian team see her dance and be like ???

    I saw the Australian guy’s dance and he at the very least knew what he was doing.

        I just don’t understand the resume compared to what she presented in the olympics. It just seems like she would have a pretty good understanding of the sport, but her performance showed a lack of a lot of things.
