Breakdancing has been added as an Olympic sport for the 2024 games being held in Paris.
The decision was confirmed by the International Olympic Committee on Monday, as it seeks to attract a younger audience to the historic competition.
Breakdancing will be called breaking when competitors take to the floor in Paris.
The idea was proposed two years ago after trials at the 2018 Youth Olympics in Buenos Aires, Argentina, proved a success.
At the youth games, the contestants faced each other in one-on-one dance-offs.
