Breaking or as we popularly call it "twerking" is to become an Olympic sport in 2024.
The announcement was made on Friday by the committee in charge of overseeing all parts of the Olympic Games and determining whether sports would be included or not.
According to a post by hollywoodunlocked on Instagram, many of the organization’s 99 members are former athletes or current leaders in athletics from all around the world. It’s also responsible for determining what criteria must be completed for a sport to be considered for inclusion. Twerking, for those who don’t know, is a dancing motion that involves crouching and thrusting your hips. “Booty shaking,” as it’s often known, is another term for it. The name was created by combining the words “twist” and “jerk.”
One committee member noted in a statement that many celebrities and public figures had been observed twerking, and she was blown away by rapper Megan Thee Stallion’s twerking skills. Another committee member, however, pointed out that the soon-to-be sport is a global phenomenon, citing Jamaican singer Spice as a wonderful example of the dance.
Breaking (twerking) made its appearance on the program of the Buenos Aires Youth Olympic Games in 2018. After the great success encountered by the discipline during this event, it is on the occasion of the Paris 2024 Games that twerking will enter a little more in the world of Olympics. This time it will be part of the program of the Olympic Games, as an additional sport along with surfing, skateboarding and climbing.
“During the games, contenders will have to demonstrate how their glutes’ cheeks strike every beat of a song while simultaneously making unique motions; a skill that not everyone can master,” stated committee members Margret and Antonette Willis. Although the rounds are still being created, members shared that for the first round in 2024, contestants will have to dance to a remix of the song “April Fools,” played by new artist Gotchya.
There we have it folks?. Twerking might actually become a sport. We anticipate for 2024. At least people's talents won't be found only in dance videos and gone to waste. They can now do it to win trophies. Sounds strange but charley?, it's kinda exciting.
