    Breakdancing tipped for inclusion at Paris 2024 Olympics

    Will we be able to get the American team to run an LP so they can dominate their opponents? How will the Trans athlete situation effect competition? I think we need to get ahead of this.

    Yeah. The Olympic Games: Time to Stop | Mark Rippetoe

    We'll rerun this on the front page tomorrow. USAPL just had their whole reason for existence kicked out from underneath them. See them dangle.

    I wonder if they are subject to WADA testing

    If I am forced to watch break dancing, I think I would enjoy watching the untested division. Roided up (and maybe coked up) dancers might be able to take it to the next level.

    Thank you I needed this. I laughed my ass off until I realized how sad it is.
    Rest assured the ancient Greeks would totally approve of this.

    From 'Citius, Altius, Fortius' to just plain ridiculous.

    Perhaps you will have more respect for the physical demands of breakdancing when you consider that against "E-sports".

    If it came to fruition, that would be an embarrassment to gaming, athletics, and all other parties involved.

    I would be aghast to find Magic: the Gathering in the Olympics or CS:GO in the Olympics.
