Here are the top five stories in Sacramento today: A Sacramento dancer is hoping he has all the right moves to make the Team USA break dancing team at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, where the sport will make its debut in the competition. His name is Morris Isby and he has been breaking since his sophomore year of high school. He holds 132 titles and plans to add an Olympic gold medal. At 38, Morris is one of the newest Olympic sport's oldest competitors. He says age is nothing but a number. To kick off Arts, Culture and Creativity Month, Morris threw down at McClatchy Park for an event where even the mayor shared his high hopes that Morris will punch his ticket to Paris.
