2024 Olympics Breakdancing

I guess there is as much reason for it as there is for Artistic Swimming or Artistic and Rhythmic Gymnastics.

It’s good to see the IOC is right on the pulse of youth culture. There is nothing as ‘now’ as breakdancing, as somebody once told me in 1980.

I look forward to the Charleston as a 2028 Olympic event. Or maybe the Viennese waltz.

I'm ok with that and I think they should have a category for poppers too - I'm a big fan of Popping John and this is my favourite video of him.

If it requires a panel of judges, it has no business being in the Olympics.
The same goes for figure skating, freestyle skiing, diving, gymnastics, etc.

Yes, breakdancing is another opportunity for politics-influenced subjective judging.
