FC- Breakdancing as a ‘sport’ for the Paris Olympics?

[psu00]

They are apparently thinking of adding breakdancing, surfing, climbing, and skateboarding to the olympics. Final decision to be made by next December.

They added golf, so why not? Those "sports" require more athleticism.
In fact, the greatest athletic feat ever may be in climbing - the free solo of El Capitan by Alex Honnold - in four hours, about the time it takes for 18 holes for four golfers.

I read the thread title quickly and thought it said "for the Paralympics" and then thought, "How are they going to pull that off?"

Well if ribbon dancing and speed walking are olympic sports I don’t see why breakdancing shouldn’t be considered as well.

Though what I’d really like to see be brought back is the Tug-of-war. It was an olympic event from 1900-1920 & it was also part of the ancient games.
