The quality of breakdancing’s Olympic debut at Paris 2024 - officially confirmed last month - will be critical in securing the event’s future place within the Games, according to World DanceSport Federation President Shawn Tay.

The t’s have been crossed, the I’s have been dotted, and breakdancing - or breaking, to give it its official Olympic monicker - will make its debut at the Paris 2024 Games.

Last week, the International Olympic Committee's (IOC) announcement that breaking would be part of the 2024 Games in Paris was the latest chapter in the evolution of the sports programme over 125 years.

Russia has confirmed its intention to host the 2021 European Breaking Championships in Sochi.

And so, after much palaver, the main takeaways regarding the Paris 2024 sports programme boil down to this: breakdancing is in; cross-country running isn't.

Paris 2024 President Tony Estanguet believes the confirmation of the sport programme for the Games in the French capital consolidates "core foundations" including gender equality, youth and "spectacular" new events.
