The Olympic qualification series in Budapest last saw exciting and intense dance battles between the Olympic Games hopefuls to earn a position at Paris 2024 in break.
At the end of Sunday’s events, the result was almost a repeat of the last OQS in Shanghai. B-boy Lee from the Netherlands proved that his gold medal in Shanghai was no fluke by regaining gold, and the three Japanese dancers Ami, Ayumi and Riko once back dominated the B-girl category.
The Olympic positions are now confirmed, as the 10 most sensible b-boys and 10 b-girls with the highest overall scores after Shanghai and Budapest have been awarded with the approval of the National Olympic Committee (NOC). However, the NOC may only send two b-boys and two b-girls, which made the recent festival even more stressful for some.
Despite her outstanding performance in any of the OQS events, Riko will not have a place in Paris 2024 due to the quota occupied by Ami and Ayumi, who are first and second in matters of general classification. The American B-boy Gravity found himself in a similar situation. losing only 4 numbers to B-boy Jeffro. There is only one position up for grabs, as the American team B-boy Victor had already claimed a position by winning the WDSF 2023 World Breakout Championship.
On the other hand, 10 b-boys and 10 b-girls can now look forward to the Paris Olympics with excitement, just like the spectators. See below for the list of breakers who have earned Olympic qualification in the Olympic Qualification Series:
