There’s a new sport in the Olympics this year #shorts #olympics #paris2024 #breaking #physics

Don't call it breakdancing!

Bless you PBS for deciding this was a good way to give me a physics lesson. Never change.

Did they give honor to the “Black American” culture for creating breaking out of the pain of oppression

I'm in peak fitness for the Winter Olympics curling event

I remember hearing about this in like 2014. Happy it came through

One question though: wouldn't holding a pose mean that the challenge is to correctly interpret and counter all the various different forces acting on different parts of the body rather than that all the forces themselves are identical? I think that's what you're getting at but the way it's phrased sounds like all the forces involved acting on the break dancers body are identical. Edit: Like the goal is to achieve net zero force everywhere to prevent movement which I guess is like identical forces....I dunno, I guess I want to go high school physics class and diagram out the forces now.

The Paris skyline is a gorgeous background for the Olympics. I’m watching more for the cityscape than the actual games.

way too many "sports" apparently

So awesome! And a physics lesson, too!

Break dancing isn’t a sport. It’s a hobby.

Happy to call it an Art, but it's not a sport.

I’m still trying to figure out how this is considered a sport….then I think about how there are men playing woman competing against other natural woman think about who our president is and the shape of the United States for the past 4 years then I question myself why I would question this in the first place 🤷 🤷‍♂️ 🤷 makes perfect since like everything else right 😂😂
