Todrank at first chance qualifier to rep USA.

In my opinion, even break dancing puts tremendous athletics on display. I wouldn’t care at all if not for the Olympic assault on....you know...actual mano y mano competition.

The end will arrive when there exists Olympic Gold Medalist Joey Chestnut!

It is easier to purchase judges' scores if everything can be made subjective.

THIS! I appreciate the athleticism, but judging sports suck.

The best figure skater in the last Olympics was the Hungarian skater who chose AC/DC for her long routine.

Agree. Any competition that you watch with your own eyes, but need someone to tell you who won when it is over sucks. Can’t wait to see the Russian judges’ scores.

... Can’t wait to see the Russian judges’ scores.

Do Russian breakdancers say: “I must break you” ?

Thanks for the gif, after watching it 172 times, I realized that Nolf was attempting a spladle, and slipped over the top.

What was the final score of that match

Turbo and Ozone are going to be so psyched.

John Smith will have central AC installed in OSU wrestling room before you catch me watching breakdancers.

If I understand correctly, breakdancing has not yet been approved. Here's a quote from the attached article;
"Breakdancing has not yet been finalized as a sport for 2024 and will require vetting before officially being added to the Paris roster for a final vote in December 2020."

Also, the article mentions that "competitive climbing/bouldering, skateboarding and surfing" are making their debut in 2020 as Olympic Sports.

Fall for Matrix

Yea he got pissed off right? If i remember correctly

While I realize how much fun it is shaking our collective fists at the sky over this, I don't really see breaking as fundamentally different from gymnastics and figure skating - two of the most popular Olympic events.

the AC was working well last night-stayed about 80.

 

[johnstownsteel]

Wow! Break dancing? That's kinda weird. I wonder if Chicken Charlie will be coming out of retirement for this. He was a black pimp here in the Johnstown area. A legend for his clubbin' activities and dancing abilities back in the 80s. Last I heard he was tossing the Tribune onto peoples porches...

We'll know it's real when Vanilla Ice is booked to perform at the Olympics.
