In a break with tradition, organisers of the Paris Olympics want to include Breakdancing as a sport in the 2024 programme. The organising committee says Breakdancing – along with the new sports of surfing, skateboarding and climbing which debut in 2020 in Tokyo – will help take the Games out of stadiums and onto the streets. The organisers say they want to deliver a Games that are "in keeping with the times and inspire new audiences and attract young people ... and which can be played anywhere and anytime in urban and other environments". The IOC needs to approve the French proposals before they can be formally added to the Paris Games sports programme. __________________________________________________________________________ to break with tradition – нарушать традицию along with - вместе c, наряду с, совместно с Take out of – вытащить, достать, вывести in keeping with — в соответствии с; в соответствии; в согласии с, соответствовать, IOC - The International Olympic Committee formally add – официально добавить, включить https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2018/11/18/figure-skating/yuzuru-hanyu-wantsskate-grand-prix-final-despite-ankle-injuries/#.XJiw6yMueM8 Yuzuru Hanyu wants to skate in Grand Prix Final despite ankle injuries Walking on crutches at the Rostelcom Cup of Russia awards ceremony on Sunday, two-time Olympic men’s champion Yuzuru Hanyu has indicated he intends to skate at the ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final starting from Dec. 6. One day after winning his second championship of this year’s Grand Prix series, Hanyu appeared at the ceremony dressed in his free skate costume but moving on crutches, and was showered with applause. The injuries, suffered in a practice fall prior to Saturday’s free skate, will require three weeks of rest. However, Japan Skating Association head of development Yoshiko Kobayashi said Hanyu had told her he would “dedicate all his energy toward regaining his fitness ahead of the final.” According to Kobyashi, Hanyu was diagnosed with apparent damage to two different ligaments, a tendon and his fibula, and the ankle swelled up overnight. “The affected areas are being iced repeatedly and he is keeping his leg elevated,” she added. Considering his past, it would be hard to rule Hanyu out of the Grand Prix Final, which he has won four times. In 2014, he was injured in a crash at the Cup of China in early November, but bounced back one month later to win the Grand Prix Final. His second Olympic championship this past February came after suffering bone and tendon injuries last November. __________________________________________________________________________________ on crutches – на костылях two-time Olympic men’s champion – двукратный олимпийский чемпион Indicate – показывать intend to - намереваться; собираться ISU - International Skating Union (Международный союз фигурного катания) ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final – Финал кубка гран-при showered with applause – осыпаемый аплодисментами Prior – предшествующий regaining his fitness – восстановление физической формы ahead of – перед, до apparent damage – видимое повреждение, Ligament |ˈlɪɡəm(ə)nt| – связка Tendon – сухожилие Fibula – малоберцовая кость swell up — вздуваться; разбухать; припухать Overnight – накануне вечером, с вечера, affected area – повреждённая зона, пострадавшие участки elevated – поднятый consider – учитывать rule out of – исключить bounce back – оправиться, прийти в норму
