2 months agoI think Australia already had to submit their sport list and breaking wasn’t on it, don’t know if they can revise though.
I did not care for breaking and here’s why: I feel that that the core of the Olympics is respect between the athletes, and breaking, as it was held, is the antithesis of that. Even if it’s supposed to be all in good fun, I don’t like a sport that normalizes the competitors mocking each other during their routines. And it sounds like that mockery is core to the sport, they won’t do a sanitized version, just as they’re not allowed to do preplanned routines, which is honestly what I thought it was going to be.
