      Eh, painting and chess used to be Olympic sports. Shooting/air rifle still is. Break dancing requires more physicality than all of those.

      I don’t particularly care about gatekeeping what activities are added/subtracted to the Olympics, as long as it’s competitive and entertaining to watch.

        It exemplifies everything wrong with the modern corrupt Olympics committee.

        Pandering to whoever can bribe them the most and threatening those who won’t cosy up to them, even long established sports that have been in the Olympics since the Greeks.
