Break？鄄dancing to enter 2024 Olympic Games

There will be a new sport added to the 2024 Summer Olympic Games， held in Paris. The  International Olympic Committee announced that break？鄄dancing would be one of the events at the 2024 Olympics. It will officially be called breaking， which is part of the IOC？蒺s pursuit to add more urban events.

“It？蒺s going to be great for breaking as it gives us more recognition as a sport，” British break？鄄dancer Karam Singh said to BBC. “And for the Olympics， it will attract young people who may not follow some of the traditional sports.” Shawn Tay， the World DanceSport Federation president， believes the decision is a big step for all dancers.

“Today is a historic occasion not only for b？鄄boys and b？鄄girls but for all dancers around the world，” Tay said in a press release. “The WDSF could not be prouder to have breaking included at Paris 2024， and we thank everyone who helped make it possible. It was a true team effort to get to this moment， and we will redouble our efforts in the lead？鄄up to the Olympic Games to make sure the breaking competition at Paris 2024 will be unforgettable.”

Break？鄄dancing will debut at the Olympics in 2024， featuring 16 boys and 16 girls in one？鄄on？鄄one battles. Along with break？鄄dancing， the IOC also approved skateboarding， sport climbing， and surfing. The committee also made some subtractions（减去） as weightlifting will have just 120 athletes for the Paris games， half of its total from the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. ESPN reports that weightlifting could be dropped due to its doping problems and concerns over the pace and depth of reform at the International Weightlifting Federation.
