- IOC wants Games to be ‘more gender balanced and youthful’
- Other events will be cut to keep athlete numbers down
Time for wannabe gold medallists to dust off their boomboxes and fine‑tune their one-handed airflares: competitive breakdancing will be the sparkling new attraction at the 2024 Olympics in Paris.
This was confirmed on Monday by the International Olympic Committee as part of plans by the president, Thomas Bach, to make the Games “more gender balanced, more youthful and more urban”. Surfing, skateboarding and sport climbing, which are part of next year’s Tokyo Games, will also be included at Paris 2024.
