Breaking, originating from the streets of the Bronx in the 1970s, has evolved into a highly skilled and respected art form, embodying athleticism, creativity, and cultural expression.

As Breaking athletes, known as B-Boys and B-Girls, prepare to showcase their talent on the world stage, the event promises to captivate audiences with its dynamic energy and creativity.

With La Concorde set as the backdrop for the Breaking competition, spectators can anticipate an electrifying atmosphere as competitors engage in intense 1v1 battles to the rhythm of random beats curated by a DJ.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Paris Olympics 2024 logo</h2>
The Paris Olympics 2024 logo is composed of five indivisible elements. These elements also reflect our ideal actions and show who we are. However, for the first time in history, the Olympics and Paralympics will use the same emblem as logos.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Paris Olympic 2024 Mascot</h2>

The Paris 2024 Olympics opening ceremony promises to be unique and memorable. The opening ceremony will feature a spectacular floating parade along the Seine River.

The parade route will wind past significant landmarks in Paris, including the National Library and the Cathedral of Notre Dame. The floating parade symbolizes unity and cooperation among nations as they celebrate the Olympic spirit. 

After the river parade, athletes will gather in a stadium in the Trocadero park to light the Olympic Flame. 

Overall, the Paris 2024 Olympics opening ceremony promises to be a grand and innovative spectacle. It will be a momentous occasion that captures the world's attention and sets the stage for an unforgettable Olympic Games.

<h3 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc">Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce 2023: Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements</h3>
Olympic sprinting legend Shelly-Ann-Fraser-Pryce was born on December 27, 1986, in Kingston, Jamaica. Even at 34, she has been stunning the world with her blazing speed. Shelly-Ann recently became the world's third-fastest woman in 100m events. Track and field star started her Olympics journey back in 2008 during the Beijing Olympics. Shelly-Ann came from a humble family background, nevertheless, nothing ever stopped her from reaching the top.

[caption id="attachment_748344" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-748344" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2021-08-26T193129Z_903748170_UP1EH8Q1I8F8L_RTRMADP_3_ATHLETICS-DIAMOND-LAUSANNE.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1302" /> Athletics - Diamond League - Lausanne - Lausanne, Switzerland - August 26, 2021 Jamaica's Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce celebrates winning the women's 100m final REUTERS/Denis Balibouse[/caption]

Currently, Shelly-Ann's net worth is close to $4 million. She has earned the same through various sports endorsements and sponsorships. Shelly-Ann's biggest endorsement deal is with Puma. In the year 2021, Fraser-Pryce signed a deal with HUMBL, a digital money network based in San Diego, California. She also has deals with Digicel, Grace Kennedy, and Nike. Almost a decade ago, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce launched a business by the name "Chic Hair Ja" and also has a hair salon called Lady Shelly in Jamaica.
<h3>Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce's early life</h3>
Shelly-Ann was born on December 27, 1986, to her parents Orane Fraser and Maxine Simpson. She grew up in the impoverished and violence-laden Waterhouse district of Kingston, Jamaica. Shelly-Ann was brought up by her mother, who was an unlicensed street vendor, and a former athlete, along with two brothers. Shelly-Ann started competing in track and field events at the age of 10 when she was in primary school. When Fraser was 16 years old and in high school at the Wolmer?s High School for Girls, she ran 100 meters in 11.57 seconds.

[caption id="attachment_734996" align="aligncenter" width="1512"]<img class="size-full wp-image-734996" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2021-08-02T105453Z_1858782232_SP1EH820UBDN5_RTRMADP_3_OLYMPICS-2020-ATH-W-200M-SFNL-000100-e1650802154325.jpg" alt="" width="1512" height="1238" /> Tokyo 2020 Olympics - Athletics - Women's 200m - Semifinal - Olympic Stadium, Tokyo, Japan - August 2, 2021.

During her college years, while attending the University of Technology in Kingston, she placed fifth at the national championships and earned a silver medal at the world championships in 2007. Fraser made a sudden breakthrough in 2008, by winning the gold medal at the Beijing Olympics in the 100-meter race. This breakthrough was a surprising one, despite the fact that she was being coached by Stephen Francis, who had guided Jamaica?s Asafa Powell to four men?s 100-meter world records.
<h3 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc">Shelly-Ann Fraser Pryce's Athletics Career</h3>
Remarkably, Shelly-Ann was a gifted sprinter from a very young age. She used to run barefoot in her primary school. At 16, she clinched the bronze medal in Inter-Secondary Schools Boys and Girls Championships. In 2006, she joined the University of Technology, Jamaica, and started coaching under Stephen Francis. At 20, she finished in the 5th position in 100m at the Jamaican National Senior Championships.

Shelly-Ann made her international debut on the European athletics circuit. Her moment of spotlight came when she shocked everyone by finishing the second position at the Jamaican Olympic trials for the Beijing Olympics 2008.

And then Shelly-Ann created history at the Beijing Olympics in 2008. She became the first Jamaican woman to win the gold medal in the 100m race at the Olympics. Even after bumps and hurdles post-2008 and before 2012, Shelly-Ann reached the mega-quadrennial games in London.
