The thing is, there is no set of standards to judge the performance of each candidate in breakdance. Judges may have preferences. Until they come up with a way to score more fairly, I wouldn't be surprised people don't support breakdance being in the olympics.

If Artistic/Synchronized Swimming can be part of Olympics, why not this? This actually looks quite difficult to pull off and it requires a lot of physical prowess. I don't understand why there is so much hate for breakdancing as an Olympic sport. Granted it will need to be improved in the future by adding more games like team dance-offs and personal routines and skills display to music chosen by the dancers. For now, I feel breakdancing can be a valuable addition to the Olympics. Don't get me wrong, Cricket, Kabaddi, Tug of War, etc should also be added as Olympic sports, but breakdancing also deserves a spot in the Olympics. PS. The chemistry and competitive nature between the dancers was amazing.

Thank you, I’ve said this before about artistic swimming I thought it’s the same because they judge a routine also they don’t judge a swimming race

[@lloydgraves6701]

​@@GWT_A Synchronised swimming is one example but there are many sports that have been part of the Olympics for a very long time that don't have objective scoring systems. Think of gymnastics, diving, equestrian and some combat sports such as boxing just to name a few and there are even more in the Winter Olympics such as figure skating and free style snowboarding. Of course there is a risk that judges will be bias but as there is no better way to score these sports it's a risk that we have to accept but this risk isn't even unique to these sports. There are plenty of sports with objective scoring systems that have had cheating scandals and unfair results etc. so that point doesn't really hold any weight in my opinion. I think what is strange, is that people are singling out breakdancing but can't explain why it's different from so many of the widely accepted Olympic sports I've listed above. If you don't think any sports with a subjective element to their scoring should be included in the Olympics, it would be very short event indeed.

My opinion breaking should be in the Olympics, but not yet. I'd rather see it sponsored and lobbied by redbull as it's been working with as an extreme sport for the past 20+, or a group other than the World DanceSport. It's an extremely political ballroom organisation, ballroom literally whitewashes/europeanises American, latin and afro dancing in the partner dance space and says their version is better. I think the actual community could work to form a proper and a competitive global committee and create standards that aren't based on Eurocentric qualifiers for dance as a sport. Urban dance communities are extremely well organised.

I'm Canadian and didn't hear anywhere that we won gold. I just searched for the finals. Amazing work bud. Made Canada proud.

[@hollynixon9570]

It’s too bad this got overshadowed by Raygun.

[@brucewillis542]

Oh, so that's what it's supposed to look like

[@jspright5226]

Think like an artist, train like an athlete. That's a great quote.

[@algunoscuenticos]

The best one was the Japanese Shigekix who for some reason ends up at 4th place.

[@Naaya3467]

Shigekix was the best one without a doubt, him not being on the podium was kind of a shame

[@Rageboy69462]

Plz add langdi taang

[@Marc_Taji]

Another frustrated Indian.

[@peggydeforest2882]

What wonderful sportsmanship on display. Respect for their opposition

[@smitv5]

Thin line between art and sports 😂😂

[@Marc_Taji]

bingo

[@nevin8604]

There are a lot of sports in Olympics of this nature tho

[@SL4PSH0CK]

its akin to gysmanstics id say. breaking/breakdancing being reliant of music background and calisthenics, and the cognitive skill to sync with the rhythm transitioning w/ the songs timing.

Mirgee

[@childofpersia1213]

I’m glad this is an Olympic sport - this was so impressive. If we have gymnastics, we should have breakdancing - it’s impressive floor-work plus the ability to spontaneously create a fluid routine.

[@bluesrike]

It's a shame that woman from Australia might become the sole reason we won't have breakdancing in the Olympics anymore. Because this feels more like a party than an uptight competition.

[@KishanKumar-qz1kt]

Does this games suit the motto of Olympic? From any angle.

[@Neelinmact]

Yup , from gymnastics angle , definitely ,, very tough and requires agility ,

[@zzzzzz69]

Competitiveness, athleticism, pushing human body limits, yes The rest, no

[@shagadelic3000]

Not really they should leave this stuff to redbull.

[@pseudonymous9153]

Faster, higher, stronger? All there. So yeah. I wouldn't expect an Indian to know anything about sports 😂

[@bluenomadbruh]

I love how both of them were smiling and having fun w it. Wholesome.

[@ganeshjeevan8871]

Is this a GAME 😮😮😮 ?

[@sreejith18]

Why no Parkour

[@newpunk4769]

Would have been a perfect opportunity for France to introduce it to the Olympics… then next Time breaking in America 🤦‍♂️

[@Meow09090]

Breaking dancing hits different in slow motion... 😮

[@jacque6276]

B BOY did a lot better in my opinion I slow down the video and 2:48 analyzed it he did a lot better honestly a robbery that much more coordination and steadiness with his moves

[@kevinnegoro1118]

This is why you are not an Olympic judge 😂

[@NotAnotherOne666]

Bro Phil Wizard brought the heat since the first round. Ol boy was spazzing out straight out the gate. B Boy either underestimated his opponent or he wasn’t on his A game that day. Nevertheless, both guys did great but Phil Wizard is indeed the rightful winner.

[@lunaveil1318]

Yeah absolutely not lmao

[@AAYUSHSINGHCHAUHAN-qz3wx]

Chess is not a part of Olympics but this is what a joke 😂😂😂

[@Neelinmact]

Obviously chess is not a part of olympics , it’s not athletic , we have olympiads for chess

[@educationpurpose9295]

@Neelinmact The governing body of chess (FIDE) is recognized by the IOC and any IOC recognized sport can be included in the Olympics program. I mean, they are literally looking forward to introducing e-sports at the games ffs.

[@Neelinmact]

@@educationpurpose9295 they maybe but we already have a chess Olympiad ,

[@ruphstuph]

I love how even during the battle there’s nothing but respect between them.

[@bringtheseo]

The Japense guy was robbed

[@sara.cbc92]

Japan was robbed

[@cb2291]

I love how both of them show each other respect and appreciation throughout the whole match

[@kmohlal4876]

This competition made a true supporter out of this skeptic! Genuine sportsmanship and athleticism at its finest.

[@babiyarnazarismaily6207]

Phil wizard is really a wizard,i had never seen such perfomamce he deserves his medal 100%

[@BloomsArchitect]

Ray gun single-handedly illegitimized breaking. She stained the sport which is why it won’t make it to LA. She did so much damage and made a mockery of something that requires so much skill.

[@dilynnpincock]

That was so fun to watch! ❤ this literally brought me so much joy to see the discipline these two obviously have and yet, both were really just enjoying themselves. I really hope they do this event again in 2028 regardless of the drama and memes with Australia
