Abstract

In this article, Emma ‘Ready’ Hamilton explores the critical issue of sexual harassment and abuse within the realm of Olympic sports, with a particular focus on the emerging discipline of breaking. Drawing on the context of the upcoming debut of breaking at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, Hamilton delves into the policies and procedures necessary to address these pervasive issues and draws lessons from other Olympic categories.
