Parliament celebrates the 20th anniversary of the EU’s biggest enlargement

Key Points:

Parliament celebrates the 20th anniversary of the EU’s biggest enlargement
On Wednesday morning, MEPs, EU and member state representatives, and young people born 20 years ago, marked the entry into the EU of ten countries in May 2004.
EP President Roberta Metsola, Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, former EP President Pat Cox, and former Commission President Romano Prodi participated in a formal sitting of Parliament to mark the 20th anniversary of the 2004 EU enlargement.
Addressing the ceremony, European Parliament President Roberta Metsola said:
”In these past two decades, Europe has been met with unprecedented challenges.
The transformative effect of EU enlargement on the lives of generations of Europeans is without any doubt.

How breakdancing became the latest Olympic sport

Retrieved on:

Thursday, April 25, 2024

Breaking is probably better known to most of us as breakdancing.

Key Points:

Breaking is probably better known to most of us as breakdancing.
So why is the sport officially called breaking, and how is something so freestyle and subjective going to play out as a scored sport in Paris this summer?
Throughout the 1980s the phenomenon garnered international exposure via music videos and movies such as Flashdance (1983), Breakin’ (1984) and Beat Street (1984).

Why the Olympics?

It is also fair to say though that breaking made it to Paris 2024 thanks to the insistence of the host country.
Los Angeles 2028 will add flag football (a variant of American football), lacrosse, cricket and squash.

What we will see in Paris?

There is a three-part qualifier for the games, so no doubt each of those qualifying athletes will be in the history books.
Already qualified through WDSF World and continental championships are some heavy favourites, such as B-boys Victor (US) and Danny Dan (France), and B-girls India (Netherlands) and Nicka (Lithuania).
The last 14 will be decided by the top-ranked 80 breakers at the dedicated Olympic qualifier series in Shanghai in May and Budapest in June.
However, this number has increased to nine in the Olympic framework, presumably to minimise subjectivity and risk of errors.
