Breaking was previously provisionally added to the 2024 Olympics program and debuted in 2018 at the Olympics’ 2018 Summer Youth Games.

Breakers had pushed for the competitive dance style to be included in the Olympics, citing qualities like the sport’s high entertainment value that make it an attractive addition to the Olympic games.
