I thought breakdancing had gone the way of the dodo bird.

I had to look it up to see if it was a real story…https://www.npr.org/2020/12/20/948315555/olympic-breakdancing

Considering that Tokyo will include competition in BMX Freestyle, BMX Racing, Skateboarding, Sport Climbing and Surfing, they could call them the Summer OlympX Games.

They’re actually going to have a breakdancing event in the olympics?

Beats the “modern pentathlon” though.

Another reason not to bother watching the Olympics – not that I needed any excuse.

Breakdancing on ice. hmm….that break could be different than expected!

It is a athletic dance, but it is just a dance, not a sport.

A demonstration “sport.”

Huh, I thought that ribbon dancing thing a few years ago was stupid, shows what I know. Stupid is as Stupid does. Oh, by the way, I think the idea is stupid.

2028..Checkers debuts. Maybe they’ll bring back the Tug of War

I had thought that pole dancing had made ii into the Olympics, but I guess they are still getting accepted. I suppose clothing will be necessary.

I’m glad I stopped caring about the olympics a couple decades ago.
