The Evolution of Olympic Sports
The inclusion of new sports in the Olympics continuously aims to attract younger audiences, with breakdancing being the latest addition. Officially renamed as 'breaking,' this sport made its Olympic debut in Paris, showcasing individual dancers competing under unique nicknames, such as a participant from Australia known as Raygun.
