Breakdancing, officially called breaking, will be the only new sport to debut during the Paris Olympics. Several sports that were featured for the first time during the Tokyo Games will also return.

Breaking, commonly known as breakdancing, will be included at the Olympics for the first time in Paris. Breaking is a style of dance that originated in the Bronx in the 1970s. Over the decades, it has evolved into a competitive sport, complete with international events, a robust judging system and world championships.

Breaking -- or breakdancing -- has gone from block parties in the Bronx in the '70s to an official Olympic sport in Paris. It's the only new sport making its debut at the Paris Games, but a few sports have added or tweaked some events, and a quartet of other nontraditional sports return for their second Olympics.
