Nice. Breakdancing is hella hard. I'd definitely tune in for that.

There are no feds though, how will they have qualifiers?

Will they like... Absorb or legitimize Red Bull competitions and the like?

just noticed the sport in quotations - it can be as arduous as some of the other stuff you might see in the Olympics.

and as far as qualifying goes, I dunno how it's going to be implemented, whether crews and/or individual breakdancers will compete, but there have been global competitions for more than two decades, iirc, so maybe auditions, but in a more official manner.

Isn't that what they did for BMX and Snowboarding?

It is athletics, and gymnastics, sync swim, and ice skating all have artistic traits to it as well. So it's going to be interesting the music they play during their breakdancing routines.

TC realizes that breakdancing is actually really technical and requires a shitton of fitness, right? lol

Anyway, that's fucking awesome. I hope they keep skateboarding as well, shit was pretty dope this year. Also, I've been wanting to get into both lately, so there's that.

Skateboarding is coming back in 2024. I think they're cutting Karate and some Weightlifting categories.
