Paris (AFP)

Breakdancing is one of four additional sports expected to be included at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris along with surfing, sport climbing and skateboarding, sources indicated Wednesday.

The list of additions is due to be revealed by the local organising committee (OCOG) on Thursday and must be signed off on by the International Olympic Committee.

Their inclusion would come on top of the 28 sports already on the programme, although the Paris 2024 committee did not confirm the reports to AFP.

Eagerly awaiting to hear that a disco competition has been added...

Can twerking be far off? How about pole dancing?

ITs hard for me to believe there are enough people around to even petition for this â€œsportâ€ to be included

It is pretty obvious to me that this is a blatant case of pandering to a specific demographic to increase declining ratings and revenue.
