Paris 2024 will have breakdancing as a new official sport (along with 3 others)

[AUS-97HORN 11756]

 

will be called "Breaking"

wow.  pretty sure there were 2 movies in the 80s made about that....

 

the other 3 are: sport climbing, skateboarding, surfing.

 

[wood 11225]

Sure, hold the competition. Just quit trying to call things 'sports' that clearly aren't.

Rock Climbing, skateboarding, and surfing were all Tokyo 2020 events too…

*To clarify ... I mean breakdancing, not the other 3. Those are sports.

They should get rid of all of the subjective sports. Gymnastics, figure skating, diving.

Is this a music & arts festival?

Or is this The Olympics?

[Valmy77 13225]

Well that will be fun to watch I guess.

Oh I don't mind breakdancing in the least, and welcome the competition. It's just not a sport. And us olds are probably more likely to enjoy or have enjoyed breakdancing than the youngs are.

"The olds" are the ones that were break dancing in the 80s. They may love it.

legendary french-national breakdancer...with polio in his legs so his moves are arm-centric

but yeah... subjective competition have no place in olympics.  keep it mostly instrumented athletic competition please

I know how we're getting a Surly suite for every sport and a premium tailgate for every game.  

You'll be allowed to have your own uniform and dancing surface, right?  And everybody from cyclists to downhill skiers can have logos on their gear?  

Any Western country competitors who remember how breakdancing started, your dance surface will be painted to "look" like a cardboard box that's been flattened and spread out on a sidewalk or parking lot with a portable stereo in the corner.  And on the box will be painted like it was shipped to you with the logos of your shoes, sox, pants, shirt, hat, jewelry, music provider, etc.  Particularly if you can use their logos from the 1980's if available.  I'd tune in just to see that shit.  Also helps it's the 40th anniversary of the Los Angeles games, the city where Special K, Ozone, and Turbo cut their teeth.  

That's how you make breakdancing an Olympic Event.
