Team USA's Olympic breaking routines will make you an immediate fan of the new sport in Paris

Breaking is here at the 2024 Paris Olympics, and it’s a curiosity for everyone — how will break-dancing be an Olympic sport?

My answer: just watch the routine below. The average person can’t do what they do, and dancing is absolutely, 10,000% an athletic endeavour, one that has some elements of what we’ve see in, say, gymnastics.

This is Logistx, whose real name is Logan Edra. She apparently started breaking when she was 7 — per her athlete profile — and as you’ll see, there are splits and posing with her feet in the air and spins and … well, just watch for yourself.

It’s so awesome:
