Calling all B-boys and B-girls! Break dancing is finally getting respect on a global scale. The 2024 Paris Summer Olympic Games will be the first time break dancing will be included as an official Olympic sport.
Break dancing first had a moment on the Olympic stage in 2018. At the Summer Youth Olympics in 2018, athletes from Japan, Russia, South Korea and Canada nabbed top medals for their break dancing. The sport’s debut was such a success that officials decided it was time to add it to the roster of Olympic events.
“Following its outstanding success at the Games in Argentina, breaking was added to the Paris 2024 Olympic programme as a new sport,” reads the official Olympics website.
