I hope story telling and speech should be part of erouop games, oops Olympic game's.

Olympics is loosing their credibility if they are baised toward erouop and western countries.. if olympic remains like this then dont worry Olympic alternate coming from aisa just wait

I also liked the pole vaulters rooting for Armand Duplantis to break the world record (:

They were absolutely being fans of one another and feeding off it to do better.

Oh yea

èr rt rřtt try

@@thomasjoychild4962ytt try try yy try

Idk still looks a bit less impressive than the other sports

@@inMuro how? This looks pretty hard to me. I can’t do flips and tricks like these. Most people would hurt themselves

@@inMuromany athletes can’t do this without training. Maybe gymnasts can try, but everyone else, no way.

​@@dinnerboons1504 That's hardly much of a bar is it

@@nazur72 That's not true - the US Olympic Committee decided they would not include breaking in LA 2028 before Paris 2024 even started. Olympic host cities collaborate with the International Olympic Committee years in advance to determine which sports to include in their program in addition to the core 28. If anything, Raygun brought publicity to the Olympics and breakdancing, which is net positive for both organisations.

basically gymnastic rings without the rings. The physical strength required to hold some of the poses and the flexibility to pull off some of the moves is great

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. The Australian lady, however, was blatantly bad in terms of showcasing the most basic breakdance technique.

@@volatilisporcus3707 ??? tell me you know nothing about how its scored without telling me you know nothing about howw its scored

Pretty sure she did that on purpose 😂​@@volatilisporcus3707

Doesn't matter, you could show them any of the performances, they already made their opinion before the games even started.

Are you talking about raygun dancing??

😂😂

Cómo defender lo Indefendible?

Love how the other guy just claps and smile. The respect is high !

It almost looks unreal. There was a huge difference between the competitors, but at least the guy that won the medal was actually impressive.

Raygun did better

@@CACar_Nation nice try trollol..lol

It was a picture-perfect copy of Dany Dann's freeze at 1:03 but much more impressive because he went did it directly from a backflip. What a battle!

Dude bboys got the tightest community ive seen. Its always smiles and laughs at these events

@@paulharaldnikolaisen9523 amazing, that's how it should be ❤️

All the top bboys know each other from other competitions

amazing indeed, and also the norm in breakdancing culture. i kid you not.

its so cringe

It was invented by Black People

I don't understand either. I'm 60, considered a Boomer by my age, but I've never read so many Boomer comments. I think I'm in great shape and I couldn't do a tenth of what these two guys did, they're incredible athletes. I remember when snowboarding was first introduced at the Olympics, the crying was exactly the same.

I don’t think any judged sport other than maybe boxing should be in the olympics. Gold medals should be awarded based on measurable criteria, not opinions. This is by far the worst of the bunch.

Agree. I tried breaking when I was a kid. It is very difficult and you have to be constantly training otherwise you’ll lose all your progress in your movements. I know this is not a conventional sport, however, it takes just as much training as all others sports.

@@wayne6777 but why though? Just because a sport is judged based on somewhat subjective criteria, that doesnt mean that it can't provide value as a sport.

Vibing?? Yes they are but nobody can vibe like that.

Join practice with us then 🥶😑

They make it look easy.

is like chest players they dont even fight but they fight

Thats breakdancing fam thats the joy 🔥🔥😭 I miss it

raygun?

@@3runjosh philwizard ?

Why u stuck with Raygun? She obviously made a mockery of the art. Even my friend who doesn’t even know how to break at all can copy her moves. Raygun’s husband was part of the judging group its no wonder she got in. She DOES NOT represent breaking at all PERIOD

@@3runjoshThis is like seeing a toddler crawl then saying “running takes no skill”.

By easy 10 fold!

​@@SW-fh7he the Olympic Torch

the way they act is so arrogant and cringe. that's why people hate it

fun fact:breakdance has more athletism than every athletic related sports combined.

I think most of the complaint goes to one particular person not the whole sport but sadly that make this amazing performance kind of swept under the rug.

Truueeeee

people are complaining because of a certain australian sci-fi weapon. because that is what's blowing up, and not this.

It's an one-off thing though 😢

It shouldn't be an Olympic...it is not a sport

@@khoofei4503 From Oxford Dictionary (you are welcome): an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment.

​@@khoofei4503 It's dancing and dancing is sport lol what are you on

I know its not labeled a sport, but dancers, including ballet dancers, are have some of the strongest physiques in the world. Dancing takes physical capability, dexterity and also has artistic element not unlike gymnastics and ice skating. I think its quite sporty! ---I'm not a dancer though, just an admirer of dancing.

Lin and Imane were BORN WOMEN if you attack them you are attacking women Well done😅

​@@matpkMen*

@@GWT_A But at the end synchronized swimming is the same, it will depend of the judges, even if we think they are synchronized the judge can say something different... this kind of "sports" that are art, are hard to judge...that's why they need specialized judges.

Then another type of dance need to be in the Olympics also?

🔥

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

​@@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.

Look at breakdancing videos on RU-vid of what those kids did before it got to this level. Truly amazing and at this stage breakdancing is a bit watered down in comparison in my opinion.

That was awesome

@@DarthFurball They're enjoying all the processes! Not just lose or win, maybe that's why I love it so much! :)

You and me, DANCE OFF BRO

are they not doing it correctly?

​@@rishyivread the comment again

From what have seen there is no correct way to do this.

@@eldoprano I did but I don't understand

@@james_tiberius_kirk73 oh i understood

Lmao shut up literally noone but weirdos look in the comments

The gold and silver medallists will be laughing to the bank with all the sponsorship opportunities that are bound to come flying in.

Nobody disputes that, but has breaking ever functioned as an orgnanised sport?

Prob cause its a art form not a sport. Pathetic FYI several of my favorite sports in the Olympics. All of them actual sports not meme fools prancing around like a Australian epileptic on a red ant hill.

Yeah...but is dancing really a sport ??

​@@ElonBhai-f9m has more physical exertion than equestrian

@@ElonBhai-f9m is rhythmic gymnastics or synchronized swimming a sport? Figure skating? By the way, I don't even like the ones I just mentioned at all. But I can respect it. And I think it has its place. Alot of these technical sports are incredibly boring to watch in my opinion, so instead of being completely a dry experience, I don't think it hurts that there is some things that aren't purely technical, but half technical, half artistic. That's what Breaking is.

Unless they are ragunn

fun fact:breakdance has more athletism than every athletic related sports combined.

​@@vnessinessathey can't even do that lol

@@ricadioy definitely not. I have been breakdancing since 2000, i also have done a lot of triathlons. I know which is more taxing on the body. If you only look at powermoves then sure but most of the sets are low HR stuff.

@@3runjosh train harder before telling me your opinion

What a joke

Now breakdancer is considered as an athlete

Dude if air pistols and speedwalking can be considered Olympic sports then anything goes

​@@royaldecree8953an artist first, but extremely athletic too

@@royaldecree8953 it’s more athletic than most sports most athletes can’t do those power moves

Who're the test subjects? High school kids? Or actual Olympians? If they beat them in any sort of athletic endeavour then go ahead and win a medal in the actual Olympics? Am very ok with breakdancing being in Olympics (if they can come up with some kind of standard scoring metric) but I just don't think them being "more athletic" is a factual comment

Excelling at breakdancing translates so well into other sports and disciplines more than most other physical activity. Along with gymnastics they’re easily one of the best athletes

fun fact:breakdance has more athletism than every athletic related sports combined.

@@ricadioy again, opinion, not fact

@@jts2342 look at the way they move. No gymnast can do that, all they do is a simple continues front and back flip 😉

To make a thing alright

First and only ever.

It is dancing

@@markkealy4417 Okay it's Dancing and? It still requires incredible skill and dedication to pull of what these guys do and make it look so easy. Even if it was just normal dancing, it doesn't change the fact they are the best of the best to do it. That's what olympics is about, not some arbritrary set of criteria that qualifies it as a sport worthy of olympics. Olympic sport can be anything that has enough following and interest, because Olympics are about bringing people all over the world to celebrate things they love. Be it Basketball, Athletics, Football or Dancing.

fun fact:breakdance has more athletism than every athletic related sports combined.

Hmmm... I wonder what rhythmic gymnasts, synchronized swimmers, and figure skaters are about?... 💀 How you complaining about breakdancing when you have those? You're joking FR

It was created by Blacks not Latino's.

@@jeongna I’m not complaining. I’m calling out people who are complaining. We share the same opinion

​@urameshi4725 lol the first bboys were poor American kids and young adults who partied together in the Bronx. Some of them were Latino(PR,DR, and cuban), some of them were Black American, African or Jamaican, the white kids were usually Italian, Jewish or of Irish decent. The first Bboy crew was the rocksteady crew, cleaaaarly multiracial, hip hop history is extremely well documented and most of the hip hop OGs at least for dancing are still alive.

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.

jQlYBhEdPH8 ive found it "The Mexican (2007 Remaster)"

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

It takes two - Rob Base

A remix of it

bingo

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

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.

Another frustrated Indian.

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

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

Not really they should leave this stuff to redbull.

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

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

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

@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.

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

This is why you are not an Olympic judge 😂

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.

Yeah absolutely not lmao

Kho kho not....but kabaddi ko mauka nahi dega...popular hota nahi hain na

Cricket

Another frustrated Indian.

No one's ever heard of those, so no, they aren't. But maybe if they introduce Whining as an Olympic event India can finally get a medal!

We already got medals Those two are better option than break
