Asking for a friend.        Discussion Topic: Break Dancing to become an Olympic Sport in 2024 Paris Jim Behrens added to this discussion on December 8, 2020 In the mean time, wrestling has lost 4 weight classes and cycling (my other sport) has lost a ton of events. Chasing the dollars!!        Discussion Topic: Break Dancing to become an Olympic Sport in 2024 Paris Bob Preusse added to this discussion on December 9, 2020 makes sense to me, even the ancient Greeks couldnt resist "spinnin like a top" -- and yes Beethoven himself grooved it according to historian Chuck Berry.

Really more of an art than a sport. Interestingly, it draws a lot of the same kind of kids as wrestling (tough, quirky, not afraid of pain/looking foolish). When I coached I had numerous guys that were both wrestlers and B-boys and several of them were very good at both        Discussion Topic: Break Dancing to become an Olympic Sport in 2024 Paris Mark Niemann added to this discussion on December 16, 2020 It’s not a sport, it’s an event.        Discussion Topic: Break Dancing to become an Olympic Sport in 2024 Paris Justin Hayes added to this discussion on December 17, 2020 Hiatt is a world-class breakdancer.

How much do the Olympics have an obligation to legacy sports to protect them/keep them in the eye. We know there are lots of nonrevenue sports that, at least in terms of public perception, are held aloft by the Olympics, and I would imagine that this trickles down to financial matters as well (funding from various NGBs, sponsorship dollars that are largely predicated on hoping for an Olympic payoff, etc.). Or how much do the Olympics ignore this and change with the times? I lean toward the former, but think it's an interesting discussion. My second aside here is completely off topic, but there are two high level no-gi jiu jitsu competitors that are brothers and were both professional break dancers before getting really good at jiu jitsu; Richie and Geo Martinez (and not the former Boise State AA, although they have the same name and are about the same size). Apparently the body control and flexibility really translate.        Discussion Topic: Break Dancing to become an Olympic Sport in 2024 Paris John Drumm added to this discussion on December 30, 2020 Not much wrestling going on, so why not discuss breakdancing as an Olympic sport (or event). Following up with what Pat just said, how could breakdancing be a sport to reflect the "changing times" to be recognized by the IOC as an Olympic sport when it hasn't seemed popular for 36 years since the epic release of "Breakin' 2: Electric *Boogaloo"? Maybe it has seen a resurgence and is popular today in China or Russia? (cited Boogaloo for Justin) *boogaloo NOUN 1. a modern dance to rock-and-roll music performed with swiveling and shuffling movements of the body, originally popular in the 1960s. VERB 1. perform the boogaloo dance.        Discussion Topic: Break Dancing to become an Olympic Sport in 2024 Paris Mark Niemann added to this discussion on January 2, 2021 Nothing but claps all around. Pat C.: I think the IOC should hold to the traditions of what made the Olympics the pinnacle of the sports they hold dear. (And I don’t say that as a wrestling fan in support of wrestling.) To stray from that would mean they no longer hold to the values they/it once did, but rather are now changing - and that would beg the question of why? Maybe I’m wrong but I thought the Olympics and the specific sports selected were started and done so intentionally. If I’m wrong I’m wrong. Oh, whale.        Discussion Topic: Break Dancing to become an Olympic Sport in 2024 Paris Brady Hiatt added to this discussion on January 3, 2021 Quote from Justin Hayes's post: "Hiatt is a world-class breakdancer.
