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

Figure Skating Trainer Tatyana Tarasova was visibly distressed as she reacted to the IOC's decision to ban the Russian team from the 2018 Winter Olympic Games in Moscow on Tuesday. The International Olympic Committee has found Russia guilty of state-sponsored doping and has banned the Russian Olympic Committee from competing. Clean athletes will be allowed to compete in the upcoming 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, although not under the Russian flag.
The International Olympic Committee said Thursday it had suspended Russia's national Olympic body with "immediate effect" for violating the territorial integrity of Ukraine's membership. SOUNDBITE
