I watched my first “break dancing” without realizing what it was as I was surfing through the channels. Two young ladies looked like they were in some sort of agony writhing and twisting and then somehow triumphant near the end. I was surprised. One got gold and the other silver. And when the Olympics does that, in my opinion, they bring down the value of every single other medal awarded because they are diluting the definition of “sport”.
