Breakdancing is one of four additional sports expected to be included at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris along with surfing, sport climbing and skateboarding, sources indicated Wednesday.
The list of additions is due to be revealed by the local organising committee (OCOG) on Thursday and must be signed off on by the International Olympic Committee.
Their inclusion would come on top of the 28 sports already on the programme, although the Paris 2024 committee did not confirm the reports to AFP.
Breakdancing, an acrobatic style of street dance typically set to hip-hop or funk music, would be making its first appearance in the Olympics, while the three other sports will all be introduced at the 2020 Games in Tokyo.

Is Break Dancing still a thing. Maybe Slashing civilians with knives, and Splashing Acid would be more timely.

Breakdancing ? What is this, 1984 ?
Will Governor Northam compete?
Well, judging for that will be subjective, even deduction of points for cultural appropriation.
No doubt. Homie never got his chance to show off his moonwalk.
While they’re at it, they can add rollerskate disco.
Will it be an exhibition or medal sport? Article isn’t clear on that.
What a joke.
Keep an eye on the Romanian judge and double the drug tests for all participants.
Why do we still have the Olympic Games? It seems to be an incredible waste of money.
I thought that would be one sport where drugs are required, like snow boarding.
For added excitement, they will be hosting the badminton and croquet championships just before breakdancing.
They left out stealing hubcaps and the knockout game?
Typical Olympic trend. More subjective sports, fewer objective ones.
Or making purple drank.
What about OLYMPIC TWERKING?
Will Don Cornelius be one of the judges?
