If a particular activity one is engaged in (such as an athletic game) is defined as a “sport,” then almost anything can be.
Why can’t the hot dog eating contest in Coney Island every year be an Olympic sport? Competitive TV binge-watching?
Break dancing?
I am only watching this if they do it on cardboard sitting on top of concrete and preferably underneath a highway underpass in the South Bronx. I think Americans will lose this contest anyway.
What do you think the next new Olympic sport should be?
f you haven’t thought much about breakdancing since Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo hit multiplexes in 1984 —or are too young to know what that even is—it may come as a surprise to learn that a competitive headspin-to-headspin “dancesport” version of the form has been steadily growing in global popularity over the last few decades and is now set to become the newest Olympic event.
