Breakdancing moves closer to 2024 Paris debut
LAUSANNE, Switzerland -- Breakdancing moved a step closer to the 2024 Olympics on Tuesday, and now organizers can look to book a street venue in Paris.
Called "breaking" in Olympic circles, its medal debut was last October at the Buenos Aires Youth Summer Games. The street dance competitions will feature 16 athletes in each of the men's and women's medal events in Paris.
International Olympic Committee members formally endorsed requests from Paris officials in February and their own executive board in March to provisionally add breakdancing to the program, pending a final decision in December 2020.
Paris wants to add four sports to its program, though the other three -- skateboarding, sport climbing and surfing -- will make Summer Games debuts in Tokyo next year.
