Break dancing added for 2018 Youth Olympics

The 2018 Youth Olympics in Buenos Aires will include every sport on the Summer Olympic program, plus three new sports, including break dancing.

Break dancing, kumite (a form of karate) and sport climbing are being added for the third edition of the Youth Summer Olympics, the International Olympic Committee said Tuesday.

This does not mean the sports are on the regular Olympic program, though karate and sport climbing were previously added for the 2020 Tokyo Games.

Some events already on the Youth Olympic program are not part of the Olympic program, such as acrobatic gymnastics, futsal and 3-on-3 basketball.
