Yes, and people wonder why the Olympics is less and less of a draw every year. Eventually Eurovision and the Olympics will merge and the descent into oblivion will be complete.

Sorry ... but when curling, ping pong and synchronized swimming can br Olympic sports, then breakdancing is a fait accompli
Break dancing is much more athletic than many Olympic “sports”

The Olympics are letting each host nation pick 5 sports to feature, in order to bring more local interest to the games They are not permanent additions to the lineup (although they could be added at some point.
Japan picked:
Baseball/softball
Sport Climbing
Surfing
Skateboarding
Karate
Paris is keeping Surfing, Skateboarding and Sport Climbing, and adding Breakdancing but eliminating Karate and Baseball/Softball.

I'm not sure why the French OOC is shipping Surfing to Tahiti. Couldn't they do it off Ushant?

Curling is athletic!
Sliding rocks across the ice while keeping your beer from freezing/spilling takes skill.

Regardless of age, we are all crotchety people on here. Who else would be stubborn enough to stick around.
