Breaking wasn’t “dropped”. Each host gets to pick four sports not in the core program. Paris picked breaking. LA did not. There’s a difference between dropping a sport (boxing) and picking a different optional sport.
It was decided before the Paris Olympics. A lot of the reactions are misdirected at Paris for failing breaking, but that is not a correlation.
Raygun’s performance had no impact on the decision. It certainly didn’t help, but she’s become the face of breaking’s exclusion even though they have nothing to do with each other.
Gotta stop the misinformation.
