Amazing Moments 🏅 OLYMPIC QUALIFIER at WDSF World Championship Breaking 2023 // stance (4k)

[@spook6394]

I love how they just look like they’re having fun, and just happen to be at the olympic qualifiers. I also love that they’re battling each other, those one on one events always add sportsmanship I don’t see in other sports, because you have to put all your attention on the other and respect their effort.

[@thomasgrayson4609]

I grew up in the 80s and 90s, and we used to breakdance all the time in and around the hood. Never thought in my wildest dreams that something like this from our neighborhoods would be such a global phenomenon to the point that it's now an Olympic Sport. This is so freaking cool!!! I just wish I was back in my younger days again, I'd be right out there with them, not just competing but doing it for the love of it, while representing my country......I did that part in the U.S. Army (1995-2004), combat veteran (Bagram Air Base, Afghanistan, 2003)!!!

[@MamaPinks]

@thomasgrayson4609 Right? Back in the 80's I was the only Caucasian girl on our breakdance team, this has been amazing to see how far our style has come! Phenomenal moves! Edited to say: Thank you for your service!

@@thomasgrayson4609 same, I had a crew in the 80s and we used to walk and take the bus to perform and battle and carry our linoleum with us. We had a guy, Benny, who was every bit as good with the windmill as anyone today. It's really cool to see that break dancing has flourished. I tried to get back out in my mid 30s and my body said nope.

@@andreausrobinson7506 You can definitely use some of the same criteria for judging it. Starting off with a certain number off points than deductions for mistakes. Or grading n the basis of originality, artistic ability, athleticism, rhythm. I'm gonna watch the Olympic team! This should be interesting!

[@BuffPomsky]

Usually it isn't completely scripted (while they have some sequences they do script) and is more of a freestyle to whatever the DJ plays. Ofc, some bboys are more scripted while others are much more dynamic and free. Additionally you have the whole battle element which one of the fundamental roots of breaking. Responding to the opponent and having a convo while dancing.

[@JaimeJDoesStuff]

It isn't and all the people that bashed it saying it wasn't an athletic sport worthy of being in the Olympics clearly know absolutely nothing about breakdancing. These men do absolutely unbelievable things with their bodies

Japan’s so clean. Litheing is best only at his power moves, and then he has good showmanship, which is good for battle, but it all depends on the format of the Olympics.
