Breakdancing could make Olympics debut at Paris 2024 | ITV News
Breakdancing could be included in the Olympic games for the first time, the organisers of Paris 2024 say.
Inclusion of the urban dance sport needs to be ratified by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) before it can be added to any events programme, but its following among young people gives hope to that happening.
The IOC has previously said it wants to modernise, bringing new sports to the games with the "goal of building youth engagement" and representing a "mix of emerging, universal and urban sports with a significant youth appeal."
