🌟 Chinese breaker Liu Qingyi, aka B-Girl 671, made history at the 2024 Paris Summer Games by snagging a bronze medal as breaking debuted at the Olympics! 🥉
At just 18, Liu lit up the stage, and in an exclusive chat with CGTN Sports Scene's Greg Laffradi, she sent an empowering message to aspiring B-Girls everywhere: \"Trust yourself and dream big!\" 💪
\"Trust yourself, trust the process. You should be yourself first,\" Liu shared. \"Then you can overcome so many problems. You should trust yourself and do as you want and as you dream.\" ✨
Despite a tough semifinal loss to Dominika Banevic of Lithuania, Liu bounced back in the bronze medal match against India Sardjoe from the Netherlands. Pulling out some fresh moves, she clinched victory and got sweet revenge for her previous loss at the Red Bull BC One Final 2022. 🔥
\"After the semifinal, I knew I couldn't go to the final. So the next battle was the most important. I felt I must win,\" Liu recalled. And win she did! 🙌
Reflecting on her Olympic journey, Liu said, \"Step by step. I think it's only a process of my life. The Olympics is a milestone in breaking and for myself. I'm happy I competed in so many high-quality competitions, and I grew up.\" 🌱
Her story is a testament to perseverance and self-belief. To all the young breakers out there, Liu's message is clear: Keep pushing, keep dreaming, and the sky's the limit! 🚀
