Bust out your best moves! 🤸♂️ Chengdu, known for its spicy cuisine and panda sanctuaries, just hosted the 2024 World Breaking Championship – and this is how you blend culture with street vibes. Over 200 breakdancers, coaches, and judges from around the globe gathered in the Sichuan capital for two days of headspins, windmills, and pure athletic artistry.
Netherlands’ B-girl India Sardjoe dropped jaws to clinch the women’s title, while Japan’s B-boy Hishikawa Isshin powered through gravity to snag the men’s crown. 🏆 The event, organized by the World Dance Sport Federation, marked another milestone as breaking gears up for its Olympic debut at Paris 2024.
🔥 Why it matters: Chengdu’s embrace of urban sports reflects China’s growing youth culture scene. From TikTok dance challenges to underground cyphers, Gen Z is rewriting the rules – one backflip at a time.
