Breaking takes the Stage at the Olympics
Breaking's Olympic Debut in Paris 2024
A New Sport for a New Era
Breaking, the dynamic and energetic dance form, has officially joined the Olympic roster, making its debut at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. This groundbreaking decision marks a significant milestone for the sport, which has gained immense popularity worldwide.
The breaking competition will feature two events, one for men and one for women, with 16 competitors in each. These athletes will showcase their incredible skills in four elements: toprock, footwork, power moves, and freezes. The judging criteria will emphasize creativity, originality, rhythm, and control.
The inclusion of breaking in the Olympics is a testament to the sport's growing recognition and appreciation. It also aligns with the IOC's mission to promote youth engagement, diversity, and inclusivity in sports.
