Breakdancing has been officially added to the Olympic event schedule and is due to enter competition for the first time at the Paris 2024 games. Strongly linked with hip-hop culture, it is practised by an estimated one million participants worldwide.

While breakers want to make sure that its cultural roots are not forgotten, squash players – whose sport continues to be excluded from the Olympics – have branded the inclusion of breakdancing as "making a mockery of what the Olympics is".
