WATCH: Sacramento Dancer Aims to Break Into US Breakdancing Team for 2024 Paris Olympics

The Olympics is the most important event for any athlete who dreams of achieving something big in their career. To make things more interesting, the International Olympic Committee tries to introduce new games whenever possible. While the 2024 Paris Olympics will feature breakdancing as the latest addition to the Olympics, dancers are giving their best to be on the most prestigious stage.

Along with breakdancing, surfing, skateboarding, and climbing are the other sports that’ll be featuring in the 2024 Paris Olympics. To accommodate these new sports, IOC has removed baseball and karate from the event. It will be interesting to watch how breakdancing performs in its debut Olympics.

Seeking a chance to represent the USA at the 2024 Paris Olympics

A dancer named B-Boy Morris from Sacramento is all set to join the US breakdancing team for the 2024 Paris Olympics. In an interview with CBS, Sacramento Morris mentioned something special. He said, “Ever since I was a kid, I wanted to do something with breaking on a monumental level. The Olympics is that.”

Even though Morris is an exceptional dancer, he is a little concerned about his age and whether it’ll be a parameter for the selection. The 38-year-old Morris further added, “I am one of the Older guys so they do count us out once you get a little bit older, but if you were making a secure bet, you would probably want to bet on me because I am either gonna win or get to the top spot.”

The Olympic team for breakdancing will comprise 5-10 dancers in both men’s and women’s categories.

Karate and Baseball out of the Olympics

Along with great news, came the disappointing news about karate and baseball being excluded from the 2024 Paris Olympics. Both the sports were featured in the Tokyo Olympics 2021 and the news about their removal was an absolute shock for the fans as well as for athletes.

As per the IOC guidelines, it’s up to the host city to add or exclude certain games from the Olympics. However, the reason behind the decision still remains under a curtain.
