Reply to comment by dumesne in Chris Jericho: "I literally want to go in front of the IOC, the International Olympic Community, and pitch pro wrestling as an Olympic sport. Gymnastics, pairs gymnastics, figure skating, pairs figure skating, what is that? It's two people working together to put on the best performance possible." by SgtThund3r

Breakdancing is a sport though. Breakdancing has its own competitions since the early 90s late 80s. Judges and all. The 2 big ones are battle of the year and redbull. Thats why its going to be an easy transition in the olympics. Theres already established competitive rules and judging in place.

Competition doesn't equal sport. There are dancing competitions of many types, doesn't make those dances sports. They're dances.

But it is. Two people or two teams trying to one up each other using physical and athletic ability. Sounds like you just dont want to accept as such.

Its a sport. Its two people or teams COMPETING. Not just dancing, but actual competition. Just admit that you cant accept it cause you dont know jack shit about it.

Many things involve competition that aren't sports. Including dancing competitions of all types.

It takes physical, athletic, and mental ability to compete. You dont get to say what it is or isnt when you don't know shit about it.
