 I think the whole concept of having breaking in the Games was contrived from the very beginning. It's not an individual problem with the specific woke activist that the ideological kommissars in the organization decided to insert.

The "moves" the so called serious dancers are making on the floor are gymnastics techniques -- except there is no technique to them. It's a lazy version of gymnastics, for a lazy generation.

Incidentally, a couple of days ago my friend and I were commenting on this edition's gymnastics performances and how bad they all were. Almost all of the female finalists fell off the bar, and most made big mistakes on the floor too. The difficulties were mediocre, as were the executions.

These athletes wouldn't even make it to the Olympics 30 years ago. It's a relaxation in the training, the emphasis on "safety" instead of effort and difficulty, and a general degradation in culture.

So, including the "urban" (code for lazy and low effort) version of gymnastics as "Olympic sports" and pretending that they have the same standing, and that the participants are equal to the participants in the real disciplines, is purely the Zeitgeist, I guess.
