Breakdancing has become an official Olympic sport for the 2024 games in Paris.

The International Olympic Committee officially added the dance-offs Monday in an attempt to attract younger audiences to the athletic competition, Sky News reported.

The street-dancing competition will be called breaking at the Olympics, as it was originally in the 1970s, ESPN reported. ...

Other sports confirmed for the 2024 lineup include skateboarding, sport climbing and surfing. ...

Well, they've got synchronized swimming don't they? What's next......spinning in a circle with your forehead on a baseball bat and then run around the arena?
Did that in sophomore high school gym class. The "teacher," also basketball, baseball, and big-time jerk thought it was a hoot to see kids try to run around the gym after spinning around ten times and then fall down or run into the doors of the gym like one kid did.

Far more interesting. 
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Parkour (check it out on YT) would be a great Olympic sport. It's been proposed but not okayed.
