The art form of Breakin', as a sport, has deep roots within the Global Hip-Hop Community, and it has exploded in recent years on a Worldwide scale - as Breakin' was formally approved as a new Olympic Sport on Dec. 7, 2020 by the International Olympic Committee. This inclusion on the Olympic platform, starting with the Paris Games in 2024, sets the stage for Breakin' to captivate the attention of spectators, sponsors, and competitors from around the world.
On Jan. 18, 2020, it was officially approved by Moy Rivas, CEO and Founder of Break Free Worldwide, to launch the Break Free Worldwide Championship Breakin' Series 2021. Consisting of five Global events along with five regional qualifiers, the Series will utilize cutting-edge technology to produce the series of on-site and online events. COVID-19 safety protocols will be in place during all on-site activities, along with anti-doping procedures followed by all on-site competitors. Welcoming participants from all 4 Global regions, the series will reach, according to TODAY NEWS, the 30 million-member active international Breaking Community through Break Free Worldwide's social platforms, ambassadors, and affiliate programs.
