🎉 China is busting some serious moves! At the World Breaking Championships in Chengdu this Saturday, China danced its way to a historic high with two shiny new medals. 🥈✨
Breaking star Liu Qingyi, aka B-Girl 671, rocked the stage to clinch a silver medal in the women's event. She beat Lithuania's Dominika Banevich 2-1 to reach the final, avenging her defeat from the semifinals at the Paris Olympics. In the final showdown against India Dewi Sardjoe from the Netherlands, Liu threw in some fresh moves, but Sardjoe, who placed fourth at the Paris Games, took the gold with a narrow 2-1 victory.
\"My main goal in this competition is to dance happily, while also exploring areas and methods that are not my strength,\" Liu shared with a smile. \"Dance is an art form, and I don't want to always win by performing in just one way; I want to express myself through various styles.\"
On the men's side, Wang Ruimiao, known as B-Boy Monkey Z, swung into action in his debut appearance, snagging a bronze medal after defeating Ukraine's Oleg Kuznietsov 3-0! 🥉 At just 19, he's stamped his mark as China's first male medalist at the World Breaking Championships. Talk about making moves! 🕺💥
This year's championship was extra special—it was the first since breaking made its Olympic debut at Paris 2024. Over 180 athletes from 31 nations and regions showed up to show off their best spins and freezes. With the stakes high, winners and runners-up secured spots in the 2025 World Games.
China's breakers are definitely on the rise, and we can't wait to see what new moves they bring next! 🔥 Keep dancing, keep shining! ✨
