The 2024 Paris Olympics are finally here, and with this year's Games comes a couple of new events. There is kayak cross, a canoe slalom event debuting for the first time. There will be a men's competition for artistic swimming, an Olympic first. But perhaps the most fascinating new event is breaking, which debuted at the Youth Olympic Games in 2018 and was successful enough to be introduced into the 2024 Paris games.
As is the case when a new event is introduced into the Olympics (and even when it's not a new event), there is a good chance you're going to turn on the television and be presented with a sport you do not understand at all. So, in this space, we endeavor to inform you everything you need to know about the sport breaking and how to enjoy it.
