The International Olympic Committee has given the go-ahead for a number of new sports to compete at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. According to CNN, one notable newcomer will be breakdancing. It will be the first DanceSport event to appear at an Olympic Games, having been staged at the Youth Olympics in Buenos Aires two years ago. The IOC executive board also announced that skateboarding, sport climbing, and surfing will be featured in Paris, too. Those three events were due to debut at the postponed Tokyo Games. Today is a historic occasion, not only for b-boys and b-girls but for all dancers around the world. Shawn Tay President, World DanceSport Federation
A Berlin neighborhood was overrun with 1,638 officers and special forces personnel in a pre-dawn raid on 20 apartments and a number of vehicles and other venues. German police were in search of the 18th-century jewels taken a year ago from the Green Vault museum in Dresden. Newser reports three German men in their 20s with links to organized crime were arrested. But, alas, the stolen art treasures failed to be found. Members of the same Remmo 'Lebanese mafia' family were convicted in early 2020 for theft. They stole a 220-pound Canadian gold coin worth $4.45 million from a Berlin museum in 2017; it has not been found. Authorities fear for the jewels' fate.
