Less talikng during the battles. It doesn't need much commentary.

[@sonja7halcyon]

As someone who is only starting to learn about breaking, personally, I found the commentary invaluable. It's helping me understand what I'm seeing and how the dance is being judged.

[@miyutakahada5691]

I like how some of the older competitors like Ayumi (40) and Hongten (39) have such happy spirits. :D

[@chunli6084]

There needs to be more slow motion replays for viewers to really appreciate the power, beauty and difficulty of these moves. Amazing!

[@GreeGraa]

[@MimMdance]

Whilst you are at it, you should look up Popping too 😉

[@dontbotherme-asnc]

If I may- the commentary should tell me what the moves are and the history because its absolutely packed with interesting facts which neither commentator bothered us with Pick up to your commentary game, it's quite disrespectful not even knowing the names I've watched street dance of china and I know these things I recommend everyone watch street dance of china for how to commentate and film this sports event. Watch kasso for how to film skateboarding too while I'm at it.

That 4 times headstand is the kind of moment that makes you famous. Amazing. I loved Hiro 10 too. Judging in dance can be awkward at times but I think that guy has the talent to deserve an olympic medal. I hope he is there about. It is also some of the best breakdancing I've ever seen from girls. I liked Ayumi too 👏 Most haters will be taking back their words as soon as they see what these guys can do in París. I only hope the commentator will talk a bit less during the battles at least.

[@artofsanti]

I have several questions! Why are men and women separated in this sport? What are the clothing rules? What are the music rules? Are there specific moves that lead to higher scores, and if so, why

[@laclase1854]

men and women have different bodies, it's normal like in every other sport. I would say music is chosen by the DJ's and the points are about technique, originality, dynamism, personality, rhythm, and power.

[@artofsanti]

BITE-ING

[@yournightmare2]

Honestly.. the first competitor is at a huge disadvantage. I have only watched a few of these now but the first competitor always lost and goes much shorter than the second. Also in the last round of the final, the girl in blue went completely nuts and did such great moves exactly to the beat.. how did she get so few of the votes... she was much better.. Same in the quarter finals Japan vs. Netherlands: The Japanese guy did crazy spins and such artistic moves whereas the other dude hardly lifted of the floor and he got all the votes... I really don't think these subjective battles make sense in the Olympics. Wouldn't watch again, feels quite rigged.

[@sonja7halcyon]

[@kartyae]

I used to break, I still love breaking to this day. But how TF can they make it an Olympic sport? The judging has always been a point of contention because its just based on style preference. In Boxing you can count punches, in a race you can win, even in skateboarding you can gauge difficulty of trick, but in breakdancing the determining factor is "style" 🤨 Worst Olympic sport EVER

[@MimMdance]

I get what you mean, but there are plenty of olympic sports with judges. Whoever wins is not necessarily THE best in the world here, but dance deserves this recognition. As a freestyle dancer myself I wish there were more styles.

[@sonja7halcyon]

The determining factor isn't "style" the judging criteria is based on execution, originality, power, technicality, vocabulary and musicality. And even at that yes judges will have bias and preference but that's not unique to breaking. I used to compete in Gymnastics in my home country and it was the same. Judges had their own favourites and preferences no matter how well you performed we had to temper our expectations depending upon what judge we got on the day of the event. That's just natural human bias not much can be done about that.

[@kartyae]

​ @MimMdance @sonja7halcyon I respect both of your opinions, especially knowing you've both done dance and competed in Gymnastics, but so many times I've watched breakdancing competitions where it seems like someone clearly won based on power moves, style etc etc and in the end they lose. It's so subjective. Idk I'm not onboard with this as an Olympic event 🤣

[@cleovesin2916]

It's the same for some gymnastics type and for ice skating ! So not really a problem if you think about it

[@AkLee-zg2zj]

Is it possible to mute out just the commentators

[@johnrincon6619]

okay can someone explain to me how many bboys and bgirls make it? Also, whoever gets first, do they automatically get in the Olympics? i understand the announcers explained it but i was still confused lol

[@dancingdancify]

Lithe-ing repeated the same move vs Hong 10 in semi finals round 2 (2:04:44) in this video and he still managed to 9-0 Hong 10 in that round. He did that move in round robin vs Gravity (I can't post a link here but you can search for it from the official Olympics website: timestamp on that video: 1:01:46). I was incredibly puzzled when I watched it live. There are still so many bad and questionable calls by these judges but I'm too lazy to point out each and every one of them, they disregard repeats, originality and musicality maybe because they aren't knowledgeable or experienced enough to notice them. This is the Olympics and these judges really need to be replaced, I'm just a fan of breaking and I'm able to point out who's repeating, who's biting, who's dancing to the music and stuff but these judges doesn't seem like they are able to. We need real judges that really know what they are doing to make this a fair competition. I feel so sorry for these powerless bboys and bgirls that are affected by the judging, they are working so hard to qualify, to make their dreams come true. Something definitely needs to be changed!

[@dejffjed]

This is not a sport it's a dancing competition. Should not be in the olympics

[@Jellybeans123]

This isn’t a sport, especially an olympic one. We might as well have every form of dance at the olympics if this is allowed.

[@sonja7halcyon]

Tell me why it isn't a sport? Breakers train just as hard as any other athlete, have to be disciplined, focused, persevere, and deal with injuries. Gymnastics was involved in the history and development of breaking. It's athleticism to music plus creative improvising on the spot.

[@dancingdancify]

These judges do not care about originality at all lol.

[@nerucheung]

sad but true, originality is always nice but they get the most points from execution and moving with the music

[@younes_9214]

I don't understand Lee (4-moves-per-round-bboy) getting over Issin in any scenario, but here's 3-0 okay, what is that? Does skin color really matter that much in this discipline?

[@purejmg7709]

I don't think it's race related, it's close but lee showed more confidence and changed directions and tempo a lot more than issin. It just went down to judges preference I think.

[@vlowolvtake1797]

You don't have to actually be in the qualifiers to go to the Olympics because each country decides on their own. And for break dance, there are other competitions all year around and results from those can add to the dancers' qualifications to be considered for the Olympics. Nicka is underage so it is very possible she had schooling to do so going all the way to China was too much. *but please don't take my words for it
