The New Sport Debuting at Paris 2024 Olympics.

The Paris 2024 Olympics, starting this Friday, will introduce breaking as a new sport. Alongside it, climbing, skateboarding, and surfing—three youth-focused sports from Tokyo—will also make a return.

Breaking to Shine: Making Its Olympic Debut in Paris 2024

Breaking, a dynamic mix of artistry, dance, and acrobatics, will make its Olympic debut at Paris 2024. 

This urban dance style, which began in the Bronx in the 1970s, was added to the Games' program in late 2020.

In the B-Boy category, look out for top contenders like Victor Montalvo and Canadian Phil Wizard (Philip Kim). 

Montalvo, 30, narrowly defeated Wizard to win the WDSF World Breaking Championship last year and became the first American to qualify for the Olympics in this event.
