Olympics: The Olympics debuted a new sport today and Australia's entrant became the laughing stock of the world after a brutal debut.
The steps leading up to her “lamb to the slaughter” moment show just what a farce the whole Olympics breaking episode has been - from start to finish.
The first international “battle” recognised by the IOC was in 1997 - but the sport’s breakthrough moment came when it was admitted to the Youth Olympics in 2018.A furore erupted after what some saw as an underhanded plot by the World DanceSport Federation to join the Olympic program. “Would the IOC allow the Badminton World Federation to oversee baseball? Would it allow the Federation for Equestrian Sports to oversee auto-racing? Why would the Olympics accept such a polar opposite and illegitimate entity as the WDSF to have anything to do with breaking?
“We needed to make sure that there was a seat at the table for us, even though it’s not something that we planned or necessarily dreamed of.” After missing out on top spot, three B-Boys and three B-Girls turned to the Olympic Qualifier Series as an alternate route to Paris.
