Team USA has four athletes making history by competing in a new Olympic event, breaking or break dancing. All competition rounds for women will be held Friday, Aug. 9, starting at 10 a.m. ET. Men will compete Saturday, Aug. 10, starting at 10 a.m. ET.
You can watch the events for free with trials from Fubo or DIRECTV Stream, and it will also be available on Sling and Peacock.
Set the first of these three to record the events ahead of time if you don’t plan to watch live. Peacock will automatically upload events as they are completed to watch later. NBC will also air clips from the competition as part of their Primetime coverage each night at 8 p.m. ET.
About the event:
Breaking first came about as an Urban dance style in the United States in the 1970s. Rooted in hip-hop, breaking started in the Bronx at lively block parties. It is characterized as acrobatic movements and stylized footwork. The first international competitions were held in the 1990s, and breaking made an appearance at the Youth Olympics in 2018. Thanks to its success there, it will debut in the summer games today, Aug. 9, and tomorrow, Aug. 10.
The breaking competition at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games includes two events — one for men and one for women — where 16 B-Boys and 16 B-Girls will face off in spectacular solo battles. Athletes will use a combination of power moves including windmills, the 6-step and freezes as they adapt their style and improvise to the beat of the DJ’s tracks in a bid to secure the judges’ votes. The top eight from the round robin battles will move on to the quarter finals, and the competition continues throughout each day until the top three are selected for the podium.
Team USA’s breaking athletes include B-Girl Logistx and Sunny Choi for the women’s event and Victor Montalvo and Jeffrey Louis for the men’s event.
