Just caught some Olympic qualifying finals for breakdancing?! Kazakhstan versus Netherlands. They both crushed it and Netherlands won. I thought the Kazaki won the whole thing with his opening move in the final bout.
I haven’t read these links yet but apparently this is the first games that will feature break dancing.

I can’t seem to find a video of the bout. Very cool to see breaking at the world level.
I’ve enjoying seeing how the games have evolved over my short life. I remember when Johnny Mosely pulled that perfect helicopter (360°) at mens moguls in Nagano in 1998 and it completely changed the sport of skiing. It launched entire categories of competitive skiing: freestyle, big air, and half pipe, eventually became Olympic events. I’m not really a big Olympics fan or anything, just wanted to share the news about breakdancing for Paris 2024. Can you believe it?
Obviously the male is more funky, while the female is more fresh. Er, except when the opposite is the case. Either way, it’s a different set of subrule amendments and categories.
I mean, you wouldn’t judge a men’s pop and lock the same as a women’s pop and lock - that’s just silly talk.
The women also say hey, while the men say hoo. Also, when the women love hip hop, they rub their titties, and when the men love it, they grab their dicks.
Oh werd?
