Breaking competitions at the 2024 Summer Olympics are scheduled to run from 9 to 10 August at Place de la Concorde, marking the sport's official debut in the program and the first dancesport discipline to appear in Summer Olympic history. [1] [2] Following its successful debut at the 2018 Summer Youth Olympics in Buenos Aires, breaking is confirmed as one of the three additional sports, along with sport climbing and surfing approved for Paris 2024. [3] [4] The competition will witness a total of thirty-two breakers (sixteen B-Boys and sixteen B-Girls) stage in face-to-face single battles. [5]

Competition format

The breaking competition will comprise two gender-based medal events (one for men and the other for women) where sixteen B-Boys and sixteen B-Girls will compete against each other in solo battles. Each bboy/bgirl will incorporate and adapt a vast combination of dance moves, including power moves such as windmills, footwork such as the six-step, and freezes, improvising to the beat of DJ's tracks in a bid to accumulate the highest score. The breaker with the highest number of points and rounds scored by the judges over his or her opponent in a solo battle will advance to the next round. [1] [5]

Qualification

A total of 32 quota places (sixteen per sex) are available for eligible dancers to compete for the inaugural medals in breaking. NOCs can enter a maximum of four breakers (two per sex) across two medal events. [5] [6]

Over eighty percent of the total quota is attributed to a large number of breakers through a tripartite qualification route. First, the 2023 WDSF World Championships, scheduled for 23 to 24 September in Leuven, Belgium, will award the B-Boy and B-Girl champion with a direct quota place for Paris 2024. Second, a quintet of spots will be assigned to the highest-ranked eligible breakers (one B-Boy and one B-Girl) competing in each of the designated continental meets (Africa, Americas, Asia, Europe, and Oceania), respecting the two-member NOC limit. The remaining breakers will provide the final opportunity to book their slots for Paris 2024 through a four-month-long Olympic Qualifier Series, held between March and June 2024 in various locations worldwide. [7]

The host nation France reserves a spot each for a B-Boy and a B-Girl in their respective breaking events, while four more places (two per gender) are entitled to the eligible NOCs interested to have their breakers compete for Paris 2024 through a Universality invitation. To be registered for a spot according to the criteria of the universality principle, breakers must finish within the top 32 of their respective events in the final rankings of the four-month-long Olympic Qualifier Series.
