The Youth Olympic Games Is Crowdsourcing For Breaking Competitors. In 2. 01. 8, the Youth Olympic Games will feature a breaking competition. And selection for this new competition, at least the early round, will be done through social media. A video posted to several breaking social media channels advises interested dancers that if they were born between January 2. December 2. 00. 2, they should upload videos of themselves breaking to Facebook or Instagram and mark them with the hashtag #IAm. Breaking. For. Gold.
In some respects, the “open call” for young b- boys and b- girls reflects the ethos of the artform. The barriers for entry into a battle have historically been low: Show up, write your name on a list and wait to be called to compete.
In other words, you had to be in the community, or at least adjacent to it, to participate. The internet has changed the way in which information about events is disseminated, just as it has changed most things, but the YOG’s “open call,” despite its usage of social media, feels like something of a throwback to a time when you could just show up and throw down. An “open call” such as the one that is ongoing does, though, feel like an unusual way for participants to qualify to a competition in the Olympic movement. Olympic sports tend to very hierarchical, with layers of rules and requirements. I highly doubt that the athletes in the other YOG disciplines will be uploading videos to Instagram or Facebook as their first step to Olympic gold.
After this open round, however, things will become a bit more rigid. The videos that are uploaded will be judged by a panel of experts who will determine which five dancers per country (and per gender) will advance to the next round. Approximately 6. 50 b- boys and b- girls will participate in the regional qualifiers: there’s one qualifier for the Americas, which will be held in Pennsylvania; another for Europe and Africa, which will take place in Germany; and one for Asia, which will be in Taiwan. The final qualification for the YOG will take place in Japan at the World Youth Breaking Championships. There the field will be whittled down from approximately 1. In 1. 99. 7, the IOC recognized the WDSF as the official governing body for “Dance.
Sport,” which made it eligible to be included in the pantheon of Olympic sports. And it has spent the past 2. Along the way, it has gained entry to the Asian Games and the World Games but fallen short of the big prize—the Olympics. That changed when they decided to bring breaking into the “Dance. Sport” family. Late last year, it was reported that breaking had been added to the sports roster for the 2. Youth Olympic Games. Many in breaking initially looked askance at the announcement that breaking would be included in the 2.
Youth Olympic Games since the sport was going to be administered by a governing body that had no historical or cultural connection to the art form. People who have put years and decades into the game were not even approached,” he said.
Clearly, Crazy Legs meant that he hadn’t been approached despite being one of the most famous b- boys in the world. It seems that WDSF has managed to quiet the opposition by bringing them into the process; Crazy Legs now has top billing as a judge. He stressed that the judging shouldn’t have any influence on how the dance is done.
