Get ready to celebrate, breaking fans! 17-year-old Guo Pu, known on stage as B-Girl Royal, has just made history by clinching China's first-ever gold at the 2025 WDSF World Breaking Championships in Fukuoka 🎉🥇.
As the only Chinese woman in the field, the Shandong native kicked off her campaign with a strong second-place in the prelims, then battled through a host-nation gauntlet of Japanese breakers. In the quarterfinals she edged out B-Girl Ayane (Ayane Nakarai) 2-1, then swept B-Girl Hiyo (Hiyo Yamada) 3-0 in the semifinals to secure her spot in the final.
The gold medal showdown felt like a final boss battle straight out of your favorite anime or video game 🎮🔥. The 17-year-old kept her cool, mixing explosive power moves with intricate footwork to dominate choreography and claim the title 💥.
This victory not only marks a personal milestone for Guo Pu but also elevates China's breaking legacy. Before her win, China's best results were silver medals by Liu Qingyi (B-Girl 671) in 2022 and again in 2024. Now, a teen from Shandong sits on top of the world stage!
With history in her pocket and a bright future ahead, B-Girl Royal has put China on the breaking map. Keep an eye on this rising star—she's just getting started! 👑✨
