Watch the highlights of the women’s and men's Breaking round robin sessions and finals during the Olympic Qualifier Series 2024 in Shanghai, People's Republic of China.
B-Boy Lee wins first major title while Japan sweeps women's podium at Olympic Qualifier Series Shanghai
Japanese women kept the contest for Paris 2024 quotas tight with a 1-2-3 finish at the Olympic Qualifier Series in Shanghai as their teammate B-Boy Hiro10 took the men's third spot in a "Battle of the 10s" to get an edge over teammate B-Boy Issin.
B-Boys Lee and Lithe-ing brought all of those moves and more to claim the top spots in the men's breaking event at the Olympic Qualifier Series in Shanghai, the People's Republic of China move closer to a coveted spot at the Paris 2024 Olympics.
B-Girls Ayumi, Ami and Riko make it an all-Japanese affair in women's event
While one Japanese athlete made it on the podium in the men's event, the women's competition ended in a clean Japanese sweep as B-Girls Ayumi, Ami and Riko kept it tight in their contest for the maximum two spots that Japanese B-Girls can get at Paris 2024.
In Shanghai, it was B-Girl Ayumi getting a few paces ahead. The team veteran proved that at 40 years old she has all the moves it takes to top a competition field of 40 B-Girls, many of them less than half her age.
The final saw Ayumi face off against another seasoned competitor, 2022 world champion B-Girl Ami. Well familiar with each other, the Japanese B-Girls packed the battle with a series of good-natured burns and traded signature moves before hugging it out on the final notes.

To be fair he’s not very original, he’s a mix of every top level bboy, and I havent seen any moves he’s created yet. Now in a regular battle I think Lee wins with originality. But in this Olympics setting I agree with you. There is no such thing as “biting” in the Olympics. If you can copy a move you should and take it to the next level. That’s what the Olympics is all about, even the playing ground and leave no restrictions. Sadly he was robbed in this setting.

There is also a history of women being forced to wear extremely revealing outfits where men in the same sports aren't by male team managers and panelists. Beach volleyball is a prime example. Let's not pretend this isn't a thing that women have validly been complaining about for decades.

Performing artists like these are athletes. The competition aspect of battling has always been there in the DNA of this artistic expression of athleticism and other dimensions of movement. Therefore, I believe it can be considered a sport. Ice Dancing evolved from figure skating, and it is considered a sport to be judged. I feel like Breaking and other forms of HipHop can be viewed as a sport but more in the realm of extreme sports, because of its beauty, technical demands, and threat of harm to the body.

To the more negative comments… Depends on the view, artistic expression x critique = forever controversy. In the particular sport tho there will always be a difference between those that win contests, and those who have rep in the streets. There’s room for both. For example I’m a skater for 20+ years, we always looked down on competitions compared to street back then, and even now SOTE is always a street skater based on video parts. But many of us have come around to recognizing that it brings these sports to the masses, it gives children people to look up to, and shows them how they can find joy in life through them regardless of financial background or country. In the end, it’s about those kids.
