Breaking, which is a competitive form of breakdancing will be an Olympic sport at Paris 2024!

Athletes, known as b-boys and b-girls will compete for the ultimate sporting prize - a place on an Olympic podium.

The dance form was hugely popular with crowds at the 2018 Youth Olympic Games in Buenos Aires.

"It's going to be great for breaking as it gives us more recognition as a sport," British breakdancer Karam Singh told BBC Sport.

Well if I tried it I think my bowel movements would react quite quickly so I've decided not to compete for the sake of the sports image.

It may be quite a challenge putting the medals around the neck of the winners on the podiums if they are still gyrating unduly.

And to think squash cannot get accepted.

Anything that requires a judge is not a sport.

I agree apart from combat sports like boxing

Olympics could be so much better but shit like this doesn't help

Boxing isn't a sport?

I think the argument the IOC have against squash and netball is that they're only played in a limited amount of countries.

That's what the judge said as he sentenced me.

Great. It's not that much different to some forms of gymnastics, agility, balance, timing, strength etc. Look forward to it.

In fairness, the game of squash is played by *****, so that's fine by me.

Like Baseball

They're obviously extremely talented, and the more people active the better, but does it mean the UK can put forward ballroom dancing next time it comes round here?

Do sports get dropped when a new sport is added?

What about the little ball that came in the bag of metal ones? Never a little ball involved when choosing five little stones. Used to enjoy Gobs, would kids have a clue what we are on about nowadays?

Agree 100%
It isn't a sport if you have to be told who's won.

Except combat sports that don't allow the sport to continue until the loser is dead.
