They should have break dancing on there.
I didn't watch much of the Limpics but it puts a show like AGT to shame!
LOL
I dunno if I ever said this before but I figure those acts are not that good when they think that will give them their big break when it never really does.
If they were that good then an agent or producer would have picked them up by now and already have given them a break.
I mean, those that do the same types of acts are already famous without having to go through a talent TV show to get there because they are better at their craft or act.
AGT is where the rejected ones go.

I wonder if they've had breakdancers on AGT before. They've had other dancing, so maybe.
There could be a lot of undiscovered talent out there, but most "popular" contestants probably fade from the public eye after a while. They might do well locally, like, "See so and so from AGT, from this local town, at next week's county fair." That's after they got so popular they thought they'd finally be nationally or internationally famous. -

Yeah, I think I saw that advertised for a magician who was on there performing at a nearby Indian casino?
He wasn't the final winner.
I guess some do manage to make a career touring in small venues or clubs while others, I suspect the majority, go back to working class jobs or college or a different career.

I'm not sure why her sister thinks it's racism, but she has a point that the judges screwed up, so it shouldn't matter if the inquiry was late. (Although USA Gymnastics said they have proof that it wasn't late.)
The uncertainty of losing her medal has taken an emotional toll on Chiles and now she has stepped away from social media to focus on her mental health amid the growing controversy.
While the Romanian camp remains focused on their athletes, they have not addressed the wave of online harassment that Chiles has faced since the protest.
Chiles’ older sister, Jazmin, also took to social media to express her frustration over the situation, asking for prayers for Jordan and their family.
“Racism is real, it exists, it is alive and well,” Jazmin wrote in her Instagram story. “They have officially, 5 days later, stripped her of one of her medals.”
Jazmin continued, “Not because she didn’t win, not because she was drugged, not because she stepped out of bounds. Not because she wasn’t good enough. But because the judges failed to give her difficulty and forced an inquiry to be made.”
She concluded with a heartfelt message to her sister, “FOUR SECONDS. Her bronze was stripped over 4 seconds of time that would have never needed to happen if the judges did their job. I love you baby sis. And I got you back no matter what.”

Its pure bribery and conflict of interest since the person who made the reversal call has ties financially to the Romanian government.
USA Olympic committee should hire the suave mr. Cool Turkish silver medalist in pistol shooting to whack these corrupt Romanians
