The 2025 World Games in Chengdu served up some epic breaking battles on Sunday, as Chinas own B-Boy Lithe-ing and B-Girl Royal claimed gold in the mens and womens finals. 🎉
In the mens final, 20-year-old Qi Xiangyu—aka B-Boy Lithe-ing—bounced back from the disappointment of missing the Paris Olympic final with a jaw-dropping routine packed with headspins and flips. He edged out Japans Isshin Hishikawa 201, landing his signature windmill move in round one. Its the first time a Chinese B-Boy has taken top spot at a multi-sports event! 🏆
On the womens side, 16-year-old Guo Pu—known as B-Girl Royal—swept all three rounds against teammate Liu Qingyi (B-Girl 671). Guos been on fire this season, racking up wins at the FISE World Series in Montpellier and back-to-back Asian titles. 🔥
With these golds, China has cemented its spot as a breaking powerhouse on the world stage. Whether youre a breaking fan, a dance newbie, or just love epic performances, these champs brought the heat! 🌟
Stay tuned for more from Chengdu—and keep breaking! 😉
