Canadian b-boy Phil Wizard (Philip Kim) took gold in the first Olympic men’s breaking tournament Saturday.
“I never thought I’d be here in my life,” the 27-year-old said, wiping away tears. He spent the last few sleepless nights “tossing and turning” because he was “stressed out of my mind.”
“I cried yesterday because I was so scared to do this, and, I’m just happy. I’m just happy,” he said.
Hometown favorite French b-boy Dany Dann (Danis Civil) won silver, and American b-boy Victor (Victor Montalvo) took the bronze after taking out Japanese b-boy Shigekix (Shigeyuki Nakarai). These Olympic medals may be the last for breaking, at least for some time — the dance form is not in the lineup of sports for the Los Angeles 2028 Games.
What’s next? Horse dancing?
Oh you mean another even that’s dumb as hell and shouldn’t be in? Past bad decisions for events shouldn’t justify continuing to add others.
Probably not the best example to use rn, what with one of the major riders, Charlotte Dujardin, being banned from the sport completely due to a horse whipping caught on camera.
Dressage was already in the “maybe” pile for future Olympics because of the animal cruelty that occurs.
