Olympics French newspaper “Ami will probably go down in history as the first and last gold medalist．” Breaking is so much fun， but is it disappearing from the Olympics？
The women’s breaking, a new event at the Paris Olympics, took place at the Place de la Concorde on the 9th (10th Japan time), and in the final, Ami Yuasa (dancer name Ami, 25) defeated Dominika Banević (dancer name Nicka, 17) of Lithuania 3-0 to become the prestigious first gold medalist. However, with the sport being removed from the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics despite its birthplace being the United States, French sports newspaper L’Equipe reported in a noteworthy report that “Ami will probably go down in history as the first and last gold medalist.” The three letters “ami” have been engraved into the more than 100-year history of the Olympics. (omitted) In its article, the aforementioned USA Today touched on the reason why the head of the IOC was at the special venue in the Place de la Concorde, stating as follows: “Breaking is one of the new wave sports introduced following skateboarding and surfing, which debuted at the last Tokyo Olympics, as part of a broader effort by the IOC to appeal to younger fans and add an urban flavor to the Summer Olympics.” Meanwhile, for reasons not disclosed, the organizing committee for the Los Angeles Olympics four years from now decided in October last year to remove breaking from the list of potential additional sports. In response to this situation, the French sports newspaper L’Equipe reported as follows: “Since breaking will not be an event at the next Games in LA in 2028, Ami will make history as the first and likely last Olympic gold medalist in breaking.” Continued and full text at source Previous thread.
If I’d gotten a silver medal this time, I’d have been really disappointed because I wouldn’t have had a chance to get revenge. I’m glad I got the gold medal.
Lithuania looked amazing But Japan won by a landslide It’s a strange sport, so I think it was a good idea not to do it in LA Even I could do the Australian one.
>>28 The Lithuanian girl’s sense of weightlessness and softness was amazing But I don’t know the name or details of the technique, so I don’t know how to describe it any more lol.
>>36 It seems tough if he’s not pushed in the US, the country where he originated. Brisbane, where the representative is only Yamato people, probably won’t push him that much. If he doesn’t do well in the US, a strong country for men, he’ll probably have to go somewhere like Japan.
Additional sports for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics: Baseball, softball, flag football (a sport similar to American football), cricket, lacrosse, and squash.
>>45 2 sports proposed by the IOC ・Cricket ・Squash 3 sports proposed by the Organizing Committee ・Flag football ・Lacrosse ・Baseball and softball←Zombies lol.
>>51 While I was waiting for Kumite to be hired for so many years, the overseas teams got stronger and I couldn’t make money there anymore, so I’m fine with just doing that.
If they want to bring it back, they need to revise the rules for the Olympics. It’ll be like skateboarding and get people excited, otherwise it’ll be a mess.
