They should just dub it freestyle dance battling, because breakdance evolved in New York while different forms of dance battles evolved in other places, and it would be cool to see each country represent their own style. For example, the dance n'golo and the martial art kipura merged in Brazil to become capoeira, which is another form of dance battling. I wouldn't be surprised if dance battles were created in other places too.
Snowboarding was just a fun thing to do in the winter, now it's an Olympic sport. Also, Snowboarding is only available to a wealthier (and yes, generally white)class of people. I can't see a problem with adding breaking to the Olympics other than the obvious class/race bias
Why not do a feature on where it started? I get it the Olympics are taking place in Paris. But give respect to the pioneers who laid the foundation. Talk about Breaking and Breaking 2 Electric Boogaloo and Beat Street. Crazy legs and Mr. Wave c'mon man give the legends their respect.

I generally find most of the sports at the Olympics boring, breaking definitely fresher than most of the stuff already in there. A joke it is under ballroom dancing of all things...
*France🇫🇷 still occupied Guiana, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Réunion, Mayotte, Saint Martin, Saint Barthélemy, Saint Pierre & Miquelon, New Caledonia, Wallis & Futuna, Polynesia, Clipperton.* end occupation & keep peace!
Maybe because it's less gymnastic-like than breakdancing. Although ballroom dancing is very physically demanding, the dancers aren't ever spinning on their heads, for example.
The debut sports are getting more and more alternative. There are only so many sports out there. In 50 years time we’ll see all kind of whacky sports at the Olympics.
This is very wrong Capoeira was where break dancing came from And for people who don't know Capoeira was practiced by slaves in Brazil to overthrow the slave masters
breaking - not breakdancing. 40 years ago term breakdance/breakdancing consisted of breaking, popping/electric boogie, locking, robot, kingtut. Olympics has only breaking, breaking - official name of sport discipline.

They should let the og's who started break dancing debut at the Olympics
My brother's too old.
Hip replacement hop :) seriously though, much respect.
Why not, it is gymnastics with a flavor
@@U_idiots you don't think breakdance performers train very hard a lot to achieve such difficult gymnastic moves?
@@jcv71stop, breakdancing is not a sport and will never be considered a sport 🤣
@@ChorizoFungis if you can consider cheerleading and marching band a sport, then why not breakdancing?
@@melanie_felony tf who said I considered those sports?
@@U_idiotsits like figure skating. Its figure floor exercise.
I am so happy breaking is in the Olympics in 2024!
That’s crazy. They said they have already dropped it from the next summer Olympics. Then what was the point of putting it in this one.?
😢
Oh, it gets better they are bringing in olympic flag football! Won't be long before we get Olympic Dodge Ball
@@freeplax17 Musical Chairs, Red Rover, & Duck, Duck, Goose.
Thank u L A for dropping it next Olympics
I hope they keep speed walking tho
The weird walk medal but no bboying
Thank you Black people!!
😂😂😂
and latinos!!
@@KakoThePoet No not latinos, only black people invented it. Latinos just partakes in it like everybody else.
@@KakoThePoettell em
WTF 😂 not a sport

Break dancing was my thing,I’m one of the pioneers my name was nanoski from the BREAK MAGIC CREW!!!
get rubbed
Did you adapt it from Capoeira?
Skater is the coolest
Might as well add hot dog eating next one. This is stupid.
We need Singing dancing , instrument playing and americas got talent in the olympics lol
Dropped for 28 wtf bro most athletic sport going !!!
Lets brake instead of hate
Some things are worthy of hate

Yeah, black people stopped breaking like 30 years ago. I'm surprised people remember where it came from.
Ils ont retiré le karaté pour mettre cette discipline à la place, la prochaine fois rajouter la dance irlandaise aussi
What?!?! Ther is No Karate in Olympia???

So its one and done and won't even be in the 2028 LA Olympics?? Why??
Exactly.

We better see air flares, windmills, headspins, and trick flips out of this world. None of that top rock bs 😂😂
Next thing you know they'll have hoop dancing lol
Line dancing is more watchable. Break dancing is something you walk past and a ten seconds attention span for the viewer.
Surely this ISNT the only new Olympic sport? Kayak Cross is new too
It's stupid alright
I don't think the half off century remark was necessary.
The disrespect in these comments for breaking.... wow
its true, seems like a pretty crappy olympic sport
@@radscorpion8 I'll respect your opinion 👌🏽
*France🇫🇷 still occupied Guiana, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Réunion, Mayotte, Saint Martin, Saint Barthélemy, Saint Pierre & Miquelon, New Caledonia, Wallis & Futuna, Polynesia, Clipperton.*
end occupation & keep peace!
Wow, break dancing started in Hong Kong and hip hop started in Beijing, WHHAAAAAAT😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Why isnt ballroom dancing an Olympic sport
Was this supposed to be funny or are you 80? 😂
@@foxx180it’s a fair question though
@@foxx180 Reasonable question.
Maybe because it's less gymnastic-like than breakdancing. Although ballroom dancing is very physically demanding, the dancers aren't ever spinning on their heads, for example.
So baseball, softball, and karate were removed but added break dancing.....😂
Good luck, India, you're the best, 👍🏻💋greetings from The Haque🥰🤗
This was really sad. I don't know what I just watched.
The debut sports are getting more and more alternative. There are only so many sports out there. In 50 years time we’ll see all kind of whacky sports at the Olympics.
They are already wacky
Red Bull kart race
The spotlight is the problem.
This is very wrong
Capoeira was where break dancing came from
And for people who don't know Capoeira was practiced by slaves in Brazil to overthrow the slave masters
Break DANCING originated in the U.S.A. by descendants of slaves in New York.
Well it didn’t work out well for Australia 😂😂🤣
Maybe the old school were right
Aljazeera put their live chat to 1 year subcribers i was doing too much 🤭
The next olympics is in los angels and yet they're gatekeeping this for the next one??? really???
I'm so confused 😅
Wheres the cardboard?😮😊
Left behind in the early 2000 my guy. They be using cut out laminates, linoleum, and vinyl flooring these days, if you have the cash.
❤️🍒💞🍎NO

im very surprised dancing isnt an olympic sport, like dancing with the stars type of thing
Where’s the big boom box
"Hip hop is a dance for thugs" 😂😂 How old are his parents?? Maybe if thugs actually danced more, they wouldn't be thugs.
U know the best part is... we are 1 step closer to pole dancing becoming an Olympic sport
The disrespect....
I mean pole dancing is already a sport
what about twerking?
Watch 'Microphone Check' by the Tareq Nasheed to know the roots of HipHop and Break dancing. Show the respect.🔔
Watch "Interview with Spy (a.k.a. Lein Figueroa)" to know the roots of "breakdancing".
Russian squat kick dancing will obliterate breaking....

Not a sport, sorry. Many so-called sports have entered the Olympic arena but do not adhere to faster, higher, stronger. Should not be in Olympics.

It's not like we're going to conflate it with fencing or hobby horsing.
Olympics' slow transition from a sporting event to cultural fest ..😂😂😂 absolute joke of a event ...
What's next? Competitive flatulence? The Olympics have gone downhill.
sport? 😅
Please help the rohingya 😢😢
In Bangladesh or India..?
Why not baseball
Because it's boring, just like American football!
Stop it, please...
