Getting hip to breakdancing’s appeal with young audiences, organizers of the 2024 Paris Olympics want the dance sport that spread from New York in the 1970s to become a medal event at the Games. The final decision on which events make the cut will be made by the International Olympic Committee after the 2020 Tokyo Games. But simply being proposed on Thursday by Paris for an Olympic debut in 2024 was hailed by breakers as a milestone that will boost breakdancing’s global footprint and its acceptance as a bona fide competitive sport. “It’s a victory for us. Even if it goes no further, we’ll still have won,” said Mounir Biba, one of the foremost breakdancers in France, which is a 4:00 – 6:00 p.m 615-5432 To include an upcoming sports event in the calendar, please send an email to Joe Lair at scoreboard@parkrecord.com Searching for new things to do?

Also on Paris’ wish-list are climbing , surfing and skateboarding – which will all make their Olympic debuts at the 2020 Tokyo Games. The head of the Paris organizing committee, Tony Estanguet, announced the selection, disappointing other sports that lobbied for a spot, including karate and squash. Paris’ proposal is the four sports together enter 248 athletes, evenly split between men and women. Room would have to be made elsewhere in the program to stay within the IOC’s ceiling of 10,500 Olympians in total. In competitive breakdancing, also called breaking, breakers – alone or in teams – face off against each other in “battles,” taking turns to show off an array of imaginative, acrobatic and improvised moves to a DJ’s beats, watched by a judging panel that picks the winner. Breaking featured at the Youth Olympic Games last year. “There’s simply no doubt about the athletic aspects of the discipline,” said Biba, fielding numerous questions at the Paris announcement about how breaking qualifies as a sport. “I defy Cristiano Ronaldo to do just one of my movements,” he said. Estanguet said the 2024 organizing committee wants “to connect the Games to their era.” Organizers noted the proposed sports have broad appeal to young people, large and active audiences on social media and, with skateboarding and breaking in particular, an urban base. Another advantage for Paris as it seeks to satisfy IOC efforts for less wasteful Games is the four sports shouldn’t need large and complex new venues. Estanguet said Paris organizers are also aiming to make the 2024 Games more participative than ever, by allowing members of the public to test themselves against the performances of Olympic athletes, in the real world or virtually. That could include organizing a public marathon on the same route the Olympians run on, and on the same day. Organizers also are exploring connected technology that might allow spectators to virtually compete against Olympians. That could include riding a stationary bike at home and comparing that performance against those of cyclists in the Olympic races. Parkites take gold in Idaho Mia Hunt, Justin Bigatel lead PCSS at Bogus Basin SUBMITTED BY HEATHER POLLARD Park City Ski and Snowboard Idaho ski resort Bogus Basin hosted the Intermountain Division under 16 alpine skiing qualifier this past weekend. The three-day Trudi Bolinder Super G speed race series was held March 16-18. Approximately 55 female and 70 male racers from Utah, Idaho and Wyoming competed at the event. Race organizers had planned to hold women’s and men’s training runs as well as the women’s first race on Saturday. However, Mother Nature had different plans. Despite valiant efforts by the Bogus Basin Ski Education Foundation staff, it was determined that the conditions were too soft for a fair and safe race. The impressive accumulation of powder only permitted racers to ski non-timed inspections runs down Paradise Run. Please see Skiers, B-6 COURTESY OF JOHN BUCHAR, PCSS Mia Hunt, left, and Justing Bigatel, right, stand for a photo after winning super G competitions at Bogus Basin. Continued from B-1 Season finished with a win Same team, new region Reflecting on this season, coach Doleac said he had “learned a lot” about the team and coaching – including team management; what the team is and is not. He said the Miners weren’t a one-on-one team. “We are much better when the ball moves, and we’re sharing it,” he said. “We execute at times really, really well. And when we do, we look really good and I’m thrilled with what I see. And there are times when we revert back to an ill-advised shot here and there, or one guy forgets to set a screen … It’s not a collective thing. It’s one slip-up here, one slip-up there that can hurt our confidence.” The team will move up into Class 5A’s Region 8, where it will face Provo, Salem Hills, Spanish Fork, Maple Mountain, Payson, Wasatch and Springville. To ensure next season isn’t like this one, Doleac said the team will have to work harder in the offseason, and when the season comes, to play as a unit. “We have enough talent on this team and in this program TANZI PROPST/PARK RECORD Park City High School’s Mark McCurdy jumps for a shot during the Wednesday-night game against Stansbury. to win, we just have to figure out what it means to play together, to share the ball, share the responsibility,” he said. “And what does it mean to put in the time and the effort now, in the offseason, to pay that price to be a successful team.” Only one member of the team, point guard Jacob Farn- sworth, will graduate in spring, so the whole team could be back for another year, which Lowe said would mean – regardless of the standings – a good reason to compete. “There were times I didn’t enjoy it,” Lowe said of the season. “But most of the time I did, because of these guys.” |
