According to BBC, the IOC has said they will prioritize events that appeal to younger viewers. Breaking can be seen as one of those events. 

 

 

 

 

Climbing, skateboarding and surfing also added. it’s cool they are leaving towards sports that are fun and lighthearted, instead of combat sports.

The Olympics has been in decline with commentators of the younger generations so the committee has been looking at other sports like X-Games to attract the youth.  Surfing was going to debut at Tokyo 2020 which was going g to be pretty exciting for a lot of generations.  However, surfing is a tough sport to host for landlocked countries so surfing events will be held at specific coastal locations.  The other issue is conditions which poses a challenge in itself.  But will always be possible since there are so many places to surf. 

 

Skateboarding is gonna be the most asiest to accommodate anywhere which is gonna pretty cool to see different areas of city backdrops in those hosted counties.

I am curious if they will loop Breaking into the gymnastics portions. 
 

excited to watch the sleep climbing too. I hope I’m the future they add bouldering to the climbing events.

Yeah, I am not sure if I could sit through climbing.  That's gonna run like molasses on a cold day.

Nah man, the event in the Olympics is speed climbing.  It different that what you may be thinking. @ndv

i don’t care for this discipline at all but it seems like it’s what’s cool with the kids. Only people I see practicing this when the climbing gyms were open were teenagers and younger. 

 

will see if this gif works...
