Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Breakdancing to make its Olympic debut at Paris 2024
Born in the US in the early 1970s, breakdancing, or simply breaking, is an athletic street dance that is usually performed to music, such as hip-hop, funk, or breakbeat music. Practitioners of breaking are called breakers, or b-boys and b-girls. It could be performed anywhere flat and at any time, but now it’s going to be competed at the Paris Olympic Games in 2024. It will certainly create more b-boys and b-girls around the world towards one of the most honorable competitions as well as more young fans who want to enjoy watching those cool dancers and fast-beat sounds. This IOC’s decision is in part trying to draw more young fans to Olympic games from virtual online games, in addition to skateboarding, sport climbing, and surfing all of which were decided to be competed at the postponed Tokyo Olympic Games in 2021. In the meantime, the number of athletes for boxing and weightlifting is going to be cut in Paris. It seems there are more performing arts than muscular competitions in the coming Olympic Games. Also, young people can play games and perform sports online, in virtual space, and even at the Olympic Games. What was cool decades ago or now may not be so in the near future?
Enjoy reading the article and learn about the latest move by IOC beyond next year’s games.
