From the New York Times, I'm Sabrina Tavernisi, and this is the Daily.

So my name is Gabriel Quick Step Denisio.

Rockefeller R-O-K-A-F-E-L-A.

I go by Kid Glide.

I represent Dynamic Rockers. I'm from Queens, New York.

This year at the Olympic Games, there's one sport that's on stage for the first time,

break dancing.

I'm excited that people are going to be exposed to it on that kind of stage.

They're going to see breaking. They're going to see hip-hop. They're going to feel it.

They're going to, you know what I'm saying? So it's going to be an experience.

Today, my colleague Jonathan Abrams tells the story

of how it went from the streets of New York

all the way to the Paris Games.

But I'm also concerned that it's not being represented at its fullest

cultural capacity. People are clueless to what this even is and people are going to be

really surprised.

And the debate that journey has inspired

about whether treating breakdancing as just another sport

might be a mistake.

This comes from a culture that, you you know had to go through so much just to exist.

So are you going to do right by us? It's Friday,

Friday, August 9th.
