1、The Paris Olympics organizers have applied to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to include breakdancing (霹雳舞), which is also called breaking or b-boying/b-girling, after the sport's success at the Youth Olympics in Buenos Aires, Argentina last year.
Along with breakdancing, the Paris committee has asked for skateboarding, climbing and surfing to be included as a way of making the 2024 Olympics more urban (城市的), more artistic and more attractive to young people.
Skateboarding, climbing and surfing — but not breakdancing — have already been included in the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. The IOC will make a decision on the Paris sports in December 2020, after the Tokyo Olympic Games.
"It is a victory for us. Even if it goes no further, we will still have won," said Mounir Biba, one of the top breakdancers in France, where there is a strong breakdancing culture. The head of the Paris organizing committee, Tony Estanguet, said the committee's goal was "to connect the games to their era (时代)."
Organizers explained the four sports havebroad attraction to young people and large and active audiences on social media (社交媒体). The IOC is trying to make the Olympics less expensive and wasteful, which is good for the four sports as they shouldn't need large and new stadiums.
