“As a dancer, I think it’s really important for us to get representation in the Olympics, but I think this year it was not very good because a lot of people were making fun of it, and the way it was portrayed in the media was not very realistic. But I think other sports should also get the opportunity to be in the Olympics because they have really hard-working athletes.”-Zoe Sherer (’26)

“Including new sports in the Olympics is a great way for other lesser-known sports to be showcased and other people to know about them. Even watching them this year, I learned about different sports that I had no idea about. Although, I do think the actual Olympics is becoming a very long event, and that’s also kind of confusing when you don’t really know what counts as an Olympic event anymore.”-Ava Knapp (‘26)

“I think it’s good, but that one Raygun person ruined it.”-Micah Williams (‘27)

“I think it’s dumb, because in breakdancing all you do is dance. Anybody can dance and anybody can be in it, so I think it should be something for fun and not a sport.”-Bryan Jaime (‘28)

“Breakdancing being introduced into the Olympics could be a really good idea because some of the breakdancers are really talented, and the things they do are really cool. But I think at this Olympics, it got a lot of attention for the wrong reasons, so it tainted the sport and the experience in the Olympics. If they have a clearer explanation of what the rules are and do a better job of tryouts and qualifications for being in the Olympics, it could be a really cool sport.”-Megan Lemoine (‘25)
