Ami Yuasa from Japan won the first Olympic breaking competition at Place de la Concorde, Paris, on Friday, August 9, 2024, making history by defeating 16 other dancers, including Lithuania’s Dominika Banevič in the final round. The event, marking the debut of breaking in the Olympics, was a significant moment for hip-hop culture. It began in the afternoon and concluded before 10 p.m., showcasing intricate dance moves that blended athleticism and artistry, captivating the audience. A total of 33 dancers from 15 countries, including members of the Refugee Olympic Team, participated, and were judged by experienced breakers using the Trivium system, which evaluated technique, execution, and originality. The dancers had to quickly adapt to an unpredictable soundtrack provided by DJs, which added a layer of spontaneity to their performances. Although it remains uncertain if breaking will be part of future Olympic Games, the event successfully highlighted the physical and artistic demands of the sport, demonstrating its legitimacy and vibrancy to a wider audience.
