The committee in charge of overseeing all aspects of the Olympic Games and choosing whether or not sports will be included made the news on Friday.
Many of the organization’s 99 members are former athletes or present leaders in athletics from all around the world.
It’s also in charge of deciding what requirements a sport must meet in order to be considered for inclusion.
Twerking is a dance movement that involves squatting and thrusting your hips, for those who are unfamiliar. Another phrase for it is “booty shaking,” as it’s also known. The terms “twist” and “jerk” were combined to generate the name.
Many celebrities and prominent figures have been seen twerking, according to one committee member, who was blown away by rapper Megan Thee Stallion’s twerking skills.
Another committee member, on the other hand, noted that the soon-to-be sport is a worldwide phenomenon, citing Jamaican artist Spice as an excellent example.
“During the games, contenders will have to demonstrate how their glutes’ cheeks strike every beat of a song while simultaneously making unique motions; a skill that not everyone can master,” stated committee members Margret and Antonette Willis
Although the rounds are still being planned, members have indicated that in the first round in 2024, entrants would have to dance to a version of the song.
