Fans have been left conflicted' and underwhelmed' at a new sport for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris with the introduction of Breaking. It is the first dancesport discipline to appear in Summer Olympic history and will take place at the Place de la Concorde from August 9 to August 10. Breaking is a new Olympic sport for 2024. The competition has two gender-based medal events " one for 16 men and one for 16 women. Athletes are known as B-Boys' and B-Girls', who will compete against each other in solo battles. The breaker with the highest number of points and rounds scored by the judges over his or her opponent in a solo battle will advance to the next round.

Yes, there are other sport-arts they could have chosen here, of course, but I think the Olympic committee has decided to go with breaking because it is really dynamic. It appeals to a lot of people who perhaps wouldn't be attracted to the Olympics by other things, and this is a sport-art that is popular all over the world, so it appeals to a global audience.'

If figure skating and floor routines in gymnastics can be olympic sports then break dancing can too.

If not interested, just don't tune in. I'm not a fan of equestrian or rowing events - so I don't watch them. I don't get my panties in a wad because some people might enjoy, or even be captivated by something. Like the DR, I can choose what to click and comment on.
Some of the moves associated with Break Dance are quite athletic and worthy to be included.

Magats favorite past time is getting sand in their vaginas over peoples skin color, who they love, who they worship, etc.

They are miserable in their pathetic lives and want to make others lives as miserable as their own.

Their sickos in that way.
