Breakdancing makes next move to Olympic status at Paris 2024

The Executive Board of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has recommended adding breakdancing, skateboarding, sport climbing and surfing to the 2024 Paris Olympic Games when the full membership meets in June.

IOC President Thomas Bach said at a news conference in Switzerland that making the Olympics more affordable and responsive has been a key aim for the



committee.

He said, the addition of these four sports to the Paris medal program offer the opportunity to connect with the young generation.

All four sports will be assessed in terms of how they are managed, the integrity of competitions and judging, before being finalized for Paris.
