Breaking at the 2024 Summer Olympics – Qualification

A total of 32 breakers (sixteen per gender) were to compete in the B-Boys and B-Girls dual battle for Paris 2024. Each NOC could only send a maximum of four breakers with an equal split between B-Boys and B-Girls. Quota places were allocated to the athletes by name. These qualification spots were to be awarded as follows:^[1][2]

• World Championships – The B-Boy and B-Girl champion at the 2023 WDSF World Championships, scheduled for 23 to 24 September in Leuven, Belgium, will obtain a quota place, respecting a two-breaker NOC limit per gender.
• Continental Qualification Events – The highest-ranked eligible B-Boy and B-Girl at each of the five continental qualifying tournaments (Africa, Asia, Europe, the Americas, and Oceania) will obtain a quota place, respecting a two-breaker NOC limit per gender. If two breakers from the same NOC dominate the WDSF World Championships and their respective continental qualification tournament, the former will qualify directly for the Games with the latter providing another opportunity to book another slot for his or her NOC through the Olympic Qualifier Series (OQS).^[2]
• Olympic Qualifier Series – The top seven B-Boys and B-Girls eligible for qualification after a four-month-long invitational series of events will obtain a quota place, respecting a two-breaker NOC limit.
• Host country – As the host country, France reserves one quota place each for the B-Boys and B-Girls events. If two French breakers for each gender qualify directly through any of the tripartite routes (world championships, continental meets, or Olympic Qualifier Series), the host country slots will be reallocated to the next highest-ranked eligible breaker from OQS.^[1]
• Universality places – Two invitational places will be available for eligible NOCs interested in having their breakers compete in Paris 2024 in keeping with the universality principle.
