Canadian b-boy Phil Wizard (Philip Kim) took gold in the first Olympic men’s breaking tournament Saturday.
“I never thought I’d be here in my life,” the 27-year-old said, wiping away tears. He spent the last few sleepless nights “tossing and turning” because he was “stressed out of my mind.”
“I cried yesterday because I was so scared to do this, and, I’m just happy. I’m just happy,” he said.
Hometown favorite French b-boy Dany Dann (Danis Civil) won silver, and American b-boy Victor (Victor Montalvo) took the bronze after taking out Japanese b-boy Shigekix (Shigeyuki Nakarai). These Olympic medals may be the last for breaking, at least for some time — the dance form is not in the lineup of sports for the Los Angeles 2028 Games.
And yet, diving and gymnastics have been a part of the Olympics since the beginning. Or are those judged sports acceptable?
We get dumb stuff like this going on all the time. That puts into question the fairness of the entire competition.

Yet again, they have always been part of the Olympics. So what you want is an Olympics that isn’t the Olympics.
Alternately, you could just not watch those events and not worry about other people enjoying them.
