Breakdancer hopes Olympics inclusion adds appeal

Breakdancers say they are hoping the appearance of the sport at the Olympics will increase its appeal to a wider audience.

The street dance discipline, known as breaking, has been chosen to be part of the Paris 2024 Olympics, which takes place from 26 July to 11 August.

Competitors, known as b-boys and b-girls, are not only judged on technical skill but also creativity and style, with strength, speed, rhythm and agility all considered.

Jordan Wildman runs the 'Wild Technique Breakers' club in Leicester and tells Chance Litchfield how his love for the sport started.
