Breaking Olympics 2024:
Gone are the days when breakdancing was limited to the streets, struggling to gain mainstream recognition. While it has long been celebrated in tournaments and popular culture, breakdancing has finally received its official spotlight with Olympic Breaking. Yes, it’s just as it sounds—breakdancers now have the chance to shine on the global stage at the Paris Olympics 2024, which will go down in history as the first Olympic Games to include breakdancing as an official competition for adults.
Breaking Olympics 2024:
At the Olympics, the event is officially referred to as “Breaking” and is scheduled to take place today, August 9, at 4 PM. Breaking made its Olympic debut at the 2018 Youth Olympic Games in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Due to its popularity among the younger generation, Breaking became the only new sport added to the Paris Olympics 2024 lineup. The dance form originated in the Bronx, New York City, during the 1970s, and the term “breaking” comes from the instrumental breaks in the music that breakdancers would perform to.
Google Doodle for Breaking Olympics: As Breaking makes its Olympic debut, it’s no surprise that it’s being celebrated widely. Google Doodle joined in on the excitement with a charming doodle featuring a bird breakdancing while others cheered it on.
Returning to the game, the event will be held at La Concorde, the largest Times Square in Paris. The competition will feature 16 B-boys and 16 B-girls vying for medals.
