I would rather defecate in my hands and clap than watch any competitive break dancing.
Is that opinion formed from experience of both?

Seen breakdancing plenty. It’s garbage. Giving prizes for it makes it worse garbageSo you've based your opinion on something having never watch it. How very modern.
@Dibby weight categories in certain sports allow for more than one medal. I get your point but I think it is stretching things.
Rules for different styles of an event, Clean & Jerk, or the Wrestling example, give a sport some order. We can't have total carnage, it is a sport
Swimming - Comes back to the weight category point really, you would only have freestyle events at different lengths. Having different styles shows different skills, different strengths and adds more events. Equate that to athletics, why have 110m hurdles, 400m hurdles or steeplechase? Variations are okay in my eyes as you still have to be the fastest to win, just the fastest in a certain style.
I'm guessing we could go back and forth on this and end up repeating our points. I understand what you are saying

they are thinking of making swearing an Olympic sport. the final will between you and @Lilyhawk
Not yet. But if it came to a situation where I either had to watch that guff breakdancing rubbish or this, then I would do so...but have you crapped and clapped? That's what we really want to know!
We don’t need narrow fairways for swearing.....Give us each a driver in our hand and a narrow fairway to hit for the best possible outcome in the final.

I would have thought they would add parkour into it. It's certainly more modern that breakdance and I think the French started it.See that breakdancing has been included as an Olympic Sport in Paris. What the actual?!? The French have always been a touch “different” in their popular culture but this just takes the biscuit. Breakdancing went out of fashion decades ago.

Everyone gets a Golf Medal in case they feel "hated on!"It’s the Modern Olympics and it’s the taking part that counts.
Break dancing is far more entertaining and athletic than some of the sports already in the Olympics.
Apparently womens boxing, mixed doubles tennis, tweaked the cycling events to reduce the mens and add more womens events (to get closer to equal medal opps). Possibly tweaked other events to add more womens versions but not certain.What did London add? I can't remember anymore. Was it TaekWonDo? Women's boxing?
