00:00Breaking, a sport that combines dance and athletic movement requiring balance, strength and flexibility.

00:15Breaking began in New York as one of the pillars of the hip-hop culture and will be making its Olympic debut at Paris 2024.

00:23It will be held at the Place de la Canco, the largest public square in the city.

00:30Breaking is a one-on-one battle where athletes are judged on their dance moves.

00:35There are two events, one for women called B-Girls and another for men, known as B-Boys.

00:47Breaking involves many different moves, such as top and down rocks.

00:57Top rock is when the athlete is dancing while standing.

01:00It is usually how they start their routine before going down to the floor.

01:04Down rock refers to moves performed on the floor, with hands supporting the athlete as much as the feet.

01:11Athletes often perform a mix of leg sweeps, swings and kicks, as well as 360-degree spins.

01:22Numerous fast spins in succession are known as a power move.

01:26These are intricate, gravity-defying spinning sequences where the athlete's feet rarely touch the ground.

01:36The opposite of a power move is a freeze, where dancers stop completely during a routine,

01:41usually in a position that demonstrates their strength and balance required for breaking.

01:50This is breaking.
