PARIS — Breaking, also known as breakdancing, is making its Olympic debut at the 2024 Paris Games. The competition kicks off with the B-Girls, and medals will be awarded by the end of the day.

The event began with a round-robin tournament featuring four groups of four breakers. Each breaker faced the others in their group in two rounds. The top two B-Girls from each group, determined by the number of rounds won, advanced to the quarterfinals. (USA’s Sunny Choi and Logan Edra did not advance to the knockout rounds.) The quarterfinals, semifinals, and finals will each consist of three rounds in a traditional bracket format.

We are providing live updates (gathered from various sources) and highlights as the competition progresses. Stay tuned!

Team USA’s hopes for a podium finish in breaking were dashed as both B-Girls, Sunny and Logistx, were unable to advance past the round-robin stage.

B-Girl Logistx, whose real name is Logan Edra, faced a tough draw, competing against strong medal contenders B-Girl Nicka from Lithuania and B-Girl Syssy from France. Logistx lost to Nicka 2-0 and needed a clean sweep against Syssy in her third round. Despite her efforts, she split the rounds with Syssy, falling just short of the top eight.

B-Girl Sunny showcased her artistry and character but couldn’t keep up with the power moves of her competitors. She was out of quarterfinal contention before her third battle, which she won against Portugal’s Vanessa, 2-0.
