Show Notes
It's been a minute since breakdancing hit mainstream culture in the early 1980s, but this summer, it’s evolving to another level with breaking, a competitive version of this art form, making its Olympic debut at the 2024 Summer Games in Paris.
16 men and 16 women will compete for the first-ever breaking medals on August 9th and 10th.
