Former world champion laments Olympic move away from breaking at 2028 L.A. Games
Former world champion Philip Kim says the move to drop breaking from the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles is disappointing, especially before the sport debuts at next year’s Paris Games.
Each host city, under International Olympic Committee rules, can request the inclusion of several sports for its edition of the Games. There is no guarantee they will stick, however.
Surfing, skateboarding and sport climbing debuted in Tokyo in 2021 and remain on the schedule. But it appears breaking, better known as breakdancing, is falling off the Olympic agenda after Paris.
Organizers of the 2028 Games want cricket, flag football, lacrosse, squash and baseball-softball added to the event.
