“Breaking” is a term used for competitive breakdancing, which will make its Olympic debut at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. The inclusion of Breaking as an Olympic sport represents a significant step in bringing urban street culture to a global stage.  The competition will feature both men’s and women’s events, with athletes competing in a series of battles. Each battle consists of several rounds where breakers showcase their skills in a variety of movements, including footwork, power moves, freezes, and top rocks. Judges will score the performances based on criteria like technique, creativity, and musicality.

Breaking was added to the Olympics in an effort to modernize the Games and attract younger audiences. It first gained international recognition through events like the Youth Olympic Games, where it was featured in 2018 in Buenos Aires.  This event will be part of the broader efforts by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to introduce sports that resonate with youth culture and the urban lifestyle, making the Olympics more relevant to contemporary audiences.  This page provides Breaking Sports News via RSS feeds, photos and news highlights.
