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.

      Thank you for your UNSOLICITED AND SUBJECTIVE OPINION.

      After brief consideration, I have determined it to be of absolutely no worth to me, but your very singular wit is welcome to it.

        It’s all good. And plenty of other people agree. Because break dancing isn’t coming back for 2028. Hopefully the equestrian junk and a few other style point events make an exit as well.
