The Pan American Games in Santiago will try to reach new audiences and seduce a younger crowd by bringing breaking, sports climbing and skateboarding into the program. The two latter were hits at the Tokyo Olympics three years ago, while the dance sport will have its debut in Paris next year.
The Pan American Games, the largest multi-sport event in the Americas, are held every four years and precede the Olympics by a year. The Chilean capital will play host for more than 6,800 athletes from 41 countries and territories between Friday and Nov. 5 in its debut as host.
Breaking, a dance that emerges from his hop culture and is characterized by acrobatic movements, will have men’s and women’s contests. The competition will be based on the footwork of the athletes, combinations of acrobatic movements and their ground level dancing. Scores will also consider a pose in which the dancer freezes entirely in the middle of a sequence.
Breaking competitors in Santiago will have some bad news on their minds once they are performing, as organizers of the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles have removed it from its program. “ show on the dance floor that breaking, a popular sport among youngsters of different cultures and with inclusion as a value, fits perfectly in the Olympic Games,” he said.
