31:40 Buddah Stretch did a live stream with DJ Renegade and went in depth on the WDSF. WDSF was set up in like the 70s to try and get ballroom in the Olympics. They used breaking to get ballroom's foot in the door.

@53:17 Would have been a lot better if they just got a spot in the OQS. A huge problem in my eyes with the system they had in place with the straight ticket to the Olympics was that you had to travel to all these battles and win. Breaking doesn't that that kind of infrastructure. Compare that to Tennis where there is well-traveled paths to sponsorships and collegiate platforms to push people into a professional tennis career. None of that for breaking. Many breakers couldn't leave their jobs an dedicate the time. That kept a lot of talent out. The few who could travel shouldn't be looked down upon, but it did leave a lot of great talent off the table and had them fighting for scraps at the OQS.
