26 Olympic Breakdancing Pics That Range From Super Impressive To A Little Weird
Today was a momentous day in Olympic history, as Breakdancing — officially known as Breaking — debuted as an Olympic sport. The women's competition took place this morning over in Paris. Snoop Dogg was there to help kick things off.
When you have a sport that involves a lot of flips, contortions, and people spinning on their heads, you tend to get some incredible photos out of it. Here are some truly wild photos from day one of the Breaking competition in Paris, along with the competitor's name (and nickname, because they get to perform under their nickname. Fun!):
