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.

However, the decision to include Breaking in the Paris 2024 Olympics underscores the evolving nature of the Olympic Games, embracing new forms of athleticism and cultural significance. 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.Â 

The Paris Olympics 2024 symbol is a combination of three separate elements: the gold medal, the flame, and Marianne (the female figure representing the French Republic).Â 
<h2 style="text-align: center">Paris Olympic 2024 Mascot</h2>
The Paris 2024 Olympic mascot is named "Olympic Phryg," inspired by the Phrygian cap, a symbol of freedom and revolution. It represents allegorical figures of the French Republic, embodying the values of liberty, equality, and also fraternity. The choice of the mascot reflects the spirit of the Olympic Games and the cultural significance of France. However, this year a pair named "Les Phryges" will represent the Olympics as mascots.Â 
<h2 style="text-align: center">What to expect from the Paris 2024 Olympics opening ceremony</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. Athletes representing 200 countries will board 100 boats for a 3.7-mile journey. This parade will offer a visually stunning and symbolic start to the Olympic Games.

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.Â 

After the river parade, athletes will gather in a stadium in the Trocadero park to light the Olympic Flame.Â 

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.
<h2 style="text-align: center">How to get tickets for Paris Olympics 2024Â Â </h2>
Paris Olympics 2024 tickets are on sale to everyone worldwide. However, they are sold on a "first come, first served" basis. Anyone can buy the tickets through the official Paris 2024 website. Many sessions are already sold out, as people are crazy to be part of this prestigious Olympics and want to see their admiring champions competing.Â 

But there is nothing to worry about. New batches of tickets are regularly added so everyone can get the chance. However, the prices start at 24 euros (Â£21) for the Olympic events and 15 euros (Â£13) for the Paralympic games.Â 
<h2 style="text-align: center">How to watch the 2024 Paris Olympics</h2>

(Photo by Quinn Rooney/Getty Images)[/caption]
<h2>Shaun White’s early life and family</h2>
Shaun White was born in San Diego, California on 3rd September 1986 to parents Cathy and Roger White.  He was born with a Tetralogy of Fallot, a congenital heart defect for which he required two open-heart operations before the age of one.

Shaun graduated from California’s Carlsbad High School and didn't manage to enroll in college for he had already started to lay the foundation in the snowboarding arena.

The snowboarder has two siblings, Kari White (sister) and Jesse White (brother). His brother motivated him to take up snowboarding as a career. Interestingly, now Jesse White remains Shaun’s best friend and business manager. On the other hand, Kari White also chose a vocation in snowboarding and went with her brother to the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang.
<h2>Shaun White’s snowboarding career</h2>
At a very early age, Shaun's talent was noticed by the legendary skateboarder Tony Hawk. Shaun started training under Tony at the age of 9, and by 16, he was a professional skateboarder. Interestingly, he had started his journey in skiing before switching to skateboarding.

White started competing at the X Games, and notably, he has clinched every medal at the games since 2000. In 2006, he made his maiden Olympics appearance at the Winter Olympics and clinched the gold medal in the half-pipe event.

In 2008, White released his own video game named 'Shaun White Snowboarding', which became the 20th best-selling game in the USA. White had his second Olympic appearance in 2010, at the Vancouver Winter Olympics, and again clinched the gold medal.

In the 2016 Winter Olympics, he again reclaimed his title by clinching the gold medal. Remarkably, he had faced a major injury leading to 62 stitches on his face, albeit he still outclassed everyone. His gold medal marked the 100th win for Team USA at the Winter Olympics.

The snowboarding champion's last-ever race came in the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. The star had a rough year in 2021 when he was turned around by the authorities as he was bound for Canada. <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sprots-news-olympics-news-snowboarding-news-i-couldnt-get-into-canada-while-world-stayed-shut-olympian-shaun-white-struggled-to-make-love-happen-with-nina-dobrev-over-borderlines/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The couple had to stay apart</a>, rendering their long-distance relationship undergo a difficult time.

Shaun graduated from California’s Carlsbad High School and didn&#8217;t manage to enroll in college for he had already started to lay the foundation in the snowboarding arena. The snowboarder has two siblings, Kari White (sister) and Jesse White (brother). His brother motivated him to take up snowboarding as a career. Interestingly, now Jesse White remains Shaun’s best friend and business manager. On the other hand, Kari White also chose a vocation in snowboarding and went with her brother to the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang. Shaun White’s snowboarding career At a very early age, Shaun&#8217;s talent was noticed by the legendary skateboarder Tony Hawk. Shaun started training under Tony at the age of 9, and by 16, he was a professional skateboarder. Interestingly, he had started his journey in skiing before switching to skateboarding. White started competing at the X Games, and notably, he has clinched every medal at the games since 2000. In 2006, he made his maiden Olympics appearance at the Winter Olympics and clinched the gold medal in the half-pipe event. In 2008, White released his own video game named &#8216;Shaun White Snowboarding&#8217;, which became the 20th best-selling game in the USA. White had his second Olympic appearance in 2010, at the Vancouver Winter Olympics, and again clinched the gold medal.

However, in the 2014 Winter Olympics, he missed out on the podium finish by a whisker, finishing in the fourth position. In the 2016 Winter Olympics, he again reclaimed his title by clinching the gold medal. Remarkably, he had faced a major injury leading to 62 stitches on his face, albeit he still outclassed everyone. His gold medal marked the 100th win for Team USA at the Winter Olympics. The snowboarding champion&#8217;s last-ever race came in the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. The star had a rough year in 2021 when he was turned around by the authorities as he was bound for Canada. The couple had to stay apart, rendering their long-distance relationship undergo a difficult time. The American completed two out of three runs in the Snowboard halfpipe, just missing out on a medal in Zhangjiakou. Following this, the Team USA star retired with three Winter Olympic gold medals to his name. Post his retirement, the Flying Tomato&#8217;s life has not been dull at all.
