This is how I find out breakdance is an Olympic sport?

Have you seen ribbon dancing?
by Anonymous6 months ago
Yes. awful. Can't wait until they add "rhythmic skipping" and "riding a trike with streamers on the handlebars".
by chaz036 months ago
Yes. You have to control smoothly something that's out of your body.

Combine the two. Olympic Capoeira.

I would 100% tune in to watch Brazilian's dance beat down everyone else every four years.

Wait, so something meant to draw viewers cares about what's popular? 😲
by Early_Town32736 months ago
Olympic games were not made initially to draw viewers. Were made to test the ability and strength of athletes around the world. Besides breakdance it's not that popular anymore. It's not 2005.

Breakdance wasn't popular in 2005.

Everything on tv is there to draw viewers

I would argue that breakdancing is also tests of strengths and ability. Sure it's not throwing a javelin, but it does requires a level of dexterity, agility, strength, and concentration that could be on par with some athletic abilities. I also have a question how do you feel about artistic gymnastics?
by Santamayert6 months ago
Is that not the same with breakdancing? One failed spin or flip you fail. The average person can't break dance so it could be just as hard.
by Santamayert6 months ago
You can save those, besides most people don't know how breakdancing works anyway and they won't notice if someone fell or they kept "dancing".
by Anonymous6 months ago
Then you have never seen good breakdancing, also they would have rules and standards as to what judges want you are not the person who scores . Also if you are good enough even in artistic gymnastics you can make a fail look like part of the act.
by Santamayert6 months ago
And break dance isn't?
by Dalenicolas6 months ago
You mean something that's thousands upon thousands of years old has changed a bit? What's your source that breakdance isn't that popular anymore?
by francesglover6 months ago
did you know breakdance test ability and strength?
by Anonymous6 months ago
Enlighten me how something that requires balance, strength and ability like breakdance it's better than something that requires balance, strength and ability like karate. Tell me why breakdance it's an olympic sport, and karate isn't.
by Anonymous6 months ago
uh no. the olympics was made to promote peace and friendship through sports. so is bboying a sport? yes. do people go to war over it? no. so it fits the olympics. if you want the best tests of athletics, you would do away with all the country nonsense and just watch the world championships of a sport. the olympics is not that.
by Anonymous6 months ago
If they are doing all the spins and flips, I think it should be. I think the same with pole dancing. They are peak athletes. But if they are just dancing with no indication of physical ability, why?
by Anonymous6 months ago
There are a bunch of sports which shouldn't be there, my particular gripe is with 'branch' sports like 3x3 basketball The very best athletes in the world play the 'full' version of such sports, why should the Olympic games essentially reward players for failing to make it in the big leagues?
by Interesting_Year81446 months ago
Yeah just like they have shooting with an air gun as an sport but not ipsc They definitly should add ipsc Atleast you move and don‘t stand in the same place Can you even call that a sport
by Anonymous6 months ago
Target shooting has generally been called a sport for some time now.
by Objective-Total6 months ago
Well ipsc is superior And you shoot there at targets too I hate normal target shooting even more because a solid portion of them (atleast in Germany I think) think of as for Barbarians for running and shooting when we just don‘t wanna be bored You can‘t tell me shooting 3 shoots at 1 target in 5 minutes is fun
by Anonymous6 months ago
Cool
by Objective-Total6 months ago
You need to say what IPSC is if you want anyone here to care.
by Sea-Expert-76046 months ago
I agree with that. Everyone can be good at pulling a trigger while standing still.
by Anonymous6 months ago
Oh buddy no they really can't be.
by Specialist_Box_98896 months ago
If Ice Dancing is an Olympic event, why not breakdancing?
by Some_Shift6 months ago
I didn't know breakdancing made it to the Olympics! Hell yeah!
by boganmyrtle6 months ago
Then maybe gymnastics shouldn't be an Olympic sport either?
by Anonymous6 months ago
gymansts need a lot of physical ability and Its an offshoot of track and field tho
by Anonymous6 months ago
Why
by Anonymous6 months ago
How much money do you think breakdancing will bring in??
by Small-Claim6 months ago
fencing is also stupid
by Anonymous6 months ago
It's only an exhibition sport for Paris 2024, it won't be at LA 2028. Karate was exhibition for Tokyo 2020(1)

If they only care about money and popularity why are you complaining about a sport being taken out that is more popular than one that's still in?
by alfonzo496 months ago
They took a popular sport out in favour of something less popular thinking it would atract young people to the olympics. They were wrong.
by Anonymous6 months ago
Think that again. Most of MMA moves are from karate, krav maga, and judo. "Yoga tier exercise"? Whatever, keep thinking that.
by Anonymous6 months ago
I think the Olympics has supported the LGTBQ community enough, there's no need to keep karate.
