Breakdancing and three other sports took another step toward appearing at the Paris 2024 Olympics after the International Olympic Committee on Tuesday voted in favour of their inclusion.
The Paris 2024 organizing committee in February proposed surfing, skateboarding and sport climbing as well as breakdancing for inclusion in the Games, and the IOC's executive board gave the initial green light in March.

"Paris Games organizers want to deliver program that attracts new, younger audience."
Good Lord.
And they wonder why Olympics viewership has been dropping like a rock.

Looks like the forces of evil have slithered their way into positions of power in sports.

Others to consider:
1). Texting
2). Couch Potato
3). 1 and 2 at the same time (raise the bar)

There is nothing the Left loves more than the “subjective”. Never involve yourself in subjective matters.
Nothing makes them spit flame more than a clear winner on merit alone.

Breakdancing is going to now be a ‘sport’? Lol!
Will Common, Vanilla Ice and Cardi B. be some of the judges?
To: mkleesma
Why not drifting and hub steeling. They could combine and require hubcaps be stolen off drifting cars and then they’d be break dancing.
To: mkleesma
The last time I saw break dancing was when I saw Flash Dance.
Pathetic.

Just wait, like with the universities, you’ll see eSports and eGaming in the Olympics before long.

With so many snowflakes in their desired audience, maybe they should focus on the Winter Olympics.

”The last time I saw break dancing was when I saw Flash Dance.” You mean you missed the epic “Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo”?
