巴黎2024年奥运会及残奥会组委会21日宣布，已向国际奥委会提议在2024年巴黎奥运会上增加霹雳舞、滑板、攀岩以及冲浪四个大项。 Chinese dancer Yiyang Qianxi is seen in the online talent show Street Dance of China. 巴黎奥组委已向国际奥委会提议在2024年巴黎奥运会上增加霹雳舞、滑板、攀岩以及冲浪四个大项，其中滑板、攀岩以及冲浪三个项目将在2020年东京奥运会上首次亮相。 霹雳舞（breakdancing）起源于上世纪60年代末、70年代初，最初在非裔和拉丁裔美国年轻人当中兴起，有时也简称为breaking、b-boying或b-girling（跳霹雳舞的人就可以简称为breaker、b-boy或b-girl），属于街舞（street dance）的一种。霹雳舞的动作多为即兴（improvisational），主要强调能量、动作、创意，还有一点点危险的感觉。这里的break指DJ通过混音制造出的连续的舞曲节拍（a continuous dancing beat）。 2018年，霹雳舞作为新增项目首次在阿根廷布宜诺斯艾利斯青奥会（Youth Olympic Games in Buenos Aires）亮相。 The young participants competed in head-to-head "battles" under nicknames, with Russia's b-boy Bumblebee taking home the men's gold medal, while Japan's Ramu Kawai won the girls' title. 年轻选手们都有自己的昵称，在赛场上捉对“厮杀”，最终俄罗斯选手Bumblebee和日本选手Ramu Kawai分获男女金牌。 对于巴黎奥组委的提议，国际奥委会表示： "We are …
