Canada’s Phil Kim has won a gold medal in men’s breaking at the Olympic Games.
The 27-year-old from Vancouver, who goes by B-Boy Phil Wizard in breaking circles, captured the first men’s Olympic gold in the sport.
Breaking made its Olympic debut in Paris, but it isn’t on the menu for Los Angeles in 2028.
Kim also beat Civil 2-0 in their first bout of the group stage.
The Canadian scored a 3-0 semifinal win over Japan’s Shigeyuki Nakarai (Shigekix), who lost the bronze-medal battle 3-0 to Victor Montalvo (Victor) of the United States.
More to come.
