The 2028 Los Angeles Olympics will not feature breakdancing, which debuted in the Paris 2024 Games, as cricket will return to the Olympic roster for the first time in 128 years, along with baseball, softball, and lacrosse. The decision to exclude breakdancing was made years prior and is not a response to the reception it received in Paris, where it faced mixed reviews including viral moments from competitors. The inclusion of breakdancing in Paris was part of a strategy to attract younger audiences, yet its absence in LA highlights differing priorities among Olympic organizers. Cricket, which was last included in the Olympics in 1900, will be played in the T20 format. Los Angeles organizers have also added flag football and squash to the lineup, while changes in modern pentathlon will replace horse riding with an obstacle competition. Boxing's inclusion remains uncertain pending the establishment of a new governing body.
