It’s because of that commercial work that the 33-year-old Lopes first saw those windmills — a signature move where breakers spin continuously on their upper back and shoulders with feet in the air.
“The key is that they came here and they get to see, ’Oh, this is a different experience,” Dionisio said. Not every change ushered in by the competitive scene has been welcome. Rodriguez said that because Red Bull BC One crowns individual champions, the team element of breaking has fallen out of fad. That’s a major cultural shift from breaking’s Bronx roots, when competitions almost always took place between crews.
Of course, the breaking community is uncertain just how much the Olympics are ready to listen. In the leadup to the announcement last winter that breaking would become an Olympic event, old-timers such as Dionisio became frustrated that they weren’t being asked for input. Even Lopes — among the biggest stars breaking has right now — hasn’t heard anything from the IOC regarding details for the event.
How about pole dancing? That will be nice!! Shame on you IOC!!!
Why not sirtaki ? Or you could light up the torch with a lighter. Funny guys. OlympicGames
This is getting stupid now
All the oldheads from the 80s are going to gather the old crew and start practicing
Only issue with Break dancing I have is the same I have with things like Figure Skating and such. Outside of hitting required benchmarks in performances, it largely comes down to Judge Bias who wins. Whereas something like running has a definite winner.
Luyanda_Lups you're up my boy
Ben_Nokwe you’re up blood 😳🙏🏽
I heard that looting, rioting, and tearing down statues are going to become Olympic sports as well 😂
I predict the South Koreans to dominate in the first decade.
Still no submission grappling
What about 'Dad Jokes?'
Beyond belief.
Knitting, will be the next official Olympic sport, for sure.☺️
crampell The Olympics in are officially dead.
'Breaking'? In the Olympics? I think Bill Hader could have a real shot at the Gold.
Beer Pong will be next!
Yeesh, what are they going to add synchronized swimming next?
No, we can’t handle another era of cheesy breakdancing movies.
crampell The ancient Greeks who founded the first Olympic Games are rolling over in their graves.
Dear ap, it seems someone has hacked your account and is posting crazy Olympics-related tweets
Cringe.
How about square dancing or line dancing? Maybe the twist WTF is the IOC thinking
Next up, pole dancing.
Why this instead of clogging?
Is this a tweet from 1988?
crampell USA. USA. USA. Ugh
crampell ESPN 8 'The Ocho' was ahead of it's time.
JackEvans711 it’s your time to shine for Canada!
Followed by gluttonously eating hotdogs, binge watching Netlfix, and lighting farts on fire.
Well you've got toffs doing 'dressage' why not break dancing
Apparently it's wildly popular in France these days. Fits for the Paris Olympics I suppose. I'm not really a fan of any sport where judges are involved but hey who cares.
What’s next? Hot dog eating?
In further adapting to the times, streaking will be an official event in 2028.
2028: knuckle cracking, smoke ring blowing, gas passing.
Fucking hell RickyGervais
Someone must’ve been a fan of those 80’s break dancing films..
.Birmingham_81
They should add Bowling 🎳 ,cross country running 🏃🏻♀️ ,cricket 🏏 , roller derby, and lacrosse. Olympics
The demise and downgrade of culture when degenerate activities are dignified and honored
Duh!
Hacky sack
How disgusting. SPORT
Funny, I’ve been telling my family I’d like to see the election handled this way… then no debates either. Just rap battles!
When will they have a 'getting upset at something you heard that you disagree'....outside of college that is?
Breaking: It's like wrestling by yourself in style.
Y la quebradita pa cuando?
What about Squash? 🤔
So they’ll have break dancing to obviously attract a younger demographic but not add Brazilian jiu jitsu which is a big part of MMA which is one of the fastest growing sport in the world.
Pouring one out for Shabba Doo ahead of “Breakin’ 3: Olympics Boogaloo”…👍 Olympics
