same, 18 years in the game, it reminded me of the days when UA-cam first arrived, the algorithms weren't yet strong enough to silence or remove a video. It's been 10+ years since I've been able to watch a battle with breaks with actual, cultural notability. After the copy-rights came along, the DJ's had to become beat-makers, this was to the point where now, the new generation hardly knows of these cultural staples. Yes, the Olympics had the cash for the copyrights, but that's not what makes me excited, what makes me excited is that someone behind the scenes put forth the effort to acquire those rights for the event. That person is dope.
@@SeaniMonsta yes I appreciate their effort too. People argued and complained about different things during this Olympics but for a breaking fan, I couldn't be happier seeing them acknowledging the culture. They really cared.
This was amazing. Both of them came out swinging, and both are clearly very talented dancers, but Phil Wizard was just a little bit better. I’m so sad that we won’t get to see this in the next Olympics
Breakdance is the only thing that I watched during olympic, such refreshing, entertaining and very great sportsmanship! *Also not forget the only legend, Raygun
I'm not much for any kind of sports, but i watched the full qualifier on HBO. This was actually really entertaining and so lovely to see people, who actually seems like they are having fun in a contest.

@@benvallentine7197BRUH an art form of dancing itself is sport.... I feel like breaking deserve another change considering the athletic ability.

I'm just watching this! absolute vibe, loved the chemistry and respect between the two!!! Serious moves from both dancers and congrats to Canada and France, they did represent!!! 🔥🔥🫡
The only event where competitors in a GAME actually look like theyre having FUN PLAYING THE GAME so ofc its already been taken out for next yr so say goodbye to breaking, u can thank 'Raygun' lmfao
@@cinderpoofeven i don't know much about Breakdancing so take it as a grain of salt. Phil's reply at 2:03 to Danny's backflip freeze at 1:01 was insane. Even Danny applauded for him. Other than that, his moves were clean and kind of syncronised with the beat (this is what i think).
THIS is what break dancing is!!! THIS should be what’s going viral. NOT the delusional woman who got break-dancing banned for the next Olympics, depriving other talented dancers from representing their countries.
Did the breakdancing world know that they could apply for the Olympics?? How does that process even work to qualify?? I mean these guys are awesome! I'm just reflecting on the one that represented Australia (fellow aussie here) and im sooo shocked, embarrassed and confused!! I know we have amazing breakdancers here! I've seen them!
IOC in Paris gave the organisers a choice to add a sport and breaking was added to the list. The prequalifiers starter back in March 2024 I think, and Raygun happened to be there and "won" against Molly, who I think was the better BGirl.
@@CoffeeStainedCanvases I would've chosen bgirl Flix or bgirl Tinylocks but they weren't at the Pre-qualifiers. It was between Raygun and Molly. I've seen the battle and wished Molly would've gone through, judges these days...
I like how there wasn't much "toxic" competitiveness. It happens sometimes in B-boying, but I think the dancers are just happy breaking got into the Olympics :) Great job!
I am not sure if the commentators here were American, but the commentating was miles better than the Canadian coverage. They were loud and did not stop talking for the entire competition.
Rhythmic gymnastic and ice dancing, even bmx fresstyle should also be considered as comparison. The major issue I have with this competition is the judging. For newbies, it is difficult to determine what is a mistake and what is taken into consideration. Although, even to the normal eye, Phil is very skilled, like playdoh the way he moves and Raygun is like us beginners learning to breakdance😂
im shocked RayGun was the best female aus had to offer considering im a rapper/full time rap teacher in australia as an american for the last decade plus and one thing i gotta give the aussies credit for, they rep the 'original FOUR elements of hip hop better than NYC WHERE IT STARTED - obv we got the raps on lock but aussies are way more into respecting bboy culture, there's more focus on graffiti and DJ'ing is prob equally big but its bigger in the HIP HOP scene in aus.... and then they chose RayGun - the unearned swag after the 'Mr.G SUmmer Heights High' skit performance
It’s like they’re having so much fun! Full of talent and respect to each other
This is what I love about dancing
No yawning I see
no yawning for sure

Disgusting behaviour.
This way no one can actually see lr know what happened.
Just in case people have forgotten what competent break dancing skills look like!
Still dumb?

What I really didn't expect was that Olympics played very classic breaking beats. Big breaking events have rarely played them for quite a long time.
They likely have the money to pay for the licence.

❤❤❤❤❤
That was an insane move 🔥
I've never seen breaking before and even I knew it was all over then
I could NOT take that one in! OMFG! It's like it will be a while before my brain can accept that I saw that.
yeah..... as audiences, we know it
It's beautiful how they are competing, but also enjoying on the stage
Yeah, most of the marginalized cultural practices are amazing and beautiful ways of socialization, but sadly ppl create stigmas over them
No kangaroo hops? Weak.
Kangaroo hops?

I preferred the leg grab ground worm lol

What’s this guy saying?
Legit and Awesome ... and notice how the two guys are friends and friendly at the end. Sportsmanship, Skill, Talent, and Positive Vibes.

You can see in their face they were enjoying their craft and is showcasing their skills! It’s so amazing to watch
Imagine if the winner of the entire Olympics was decided by a breakdancing battle
They should have a rap battle lmao
Yes
I’m okay with that cuz then Canada would win!
whoever can plank the longest
Rachel Gun from Australia was much better
2:01 gave me goosebumps!

Refreshing to see breakdancing happen at the Olympics. Just a lot of people getting together to smile at two people sassing and dancing 😂
Wizard won the gold, Raygun won the internet.
Any sport that can't be achieved without hardwork and talent def deserve to be an Olympic Sport - Best of their own Sports
Imagine being the only gold medal breaker of all time. So sad
Or legendary. Making history of gold medal Olympics in breakdance. That's a huge bragging rights and envy of all break dancers.

Talent
Technical and physical skills
Prepared routines
Sportmanship
Hands off these gentlemen 👏👏
Wow they're both crazy incredible
Now that’s an Olympic quality battle.

Any critics of B-boys in the Olympics better keep that energy when it comes to the well established horse dancing event..
or artistic swimming, artistic gymnastics with balls and hoops, and probably others
Oh you got us.
You mean the must complained about Olympic sport before now? Yeah nah, I'm sure everyone will want to keep dressage.
Breakdancing CUT from LA future Olympics... who has the last laugh now?
@@remogatron1010 wasn't cut, it was just a showcase event and always meant to be a one-off, like karate at tokyo2020/1
Very athletic, talented and artistic! Amazing.
Breaking is one of the best sports - mixed with a beautiful culture & street history 💯❤️🔥
Where is raygun
Raygun is in hiding, from everyone's overwhelming scorn and brutally honest assessments of her pathetic floor-mopping routine.
Retire village!
You want a woman to compete against men? 😂
We kicked her out
Paralympics
BIG LOVE TO THE WIZZZ FROM DENMARK ❤️🇩🇰
I'm Danish too. The qualifier was so entertaining as well as the finale. 😊
On top of the world Wizard! Congrats from Australia!
they are both competitive and supportive at the same time and all just having so much fun. so great to watch this! XD Congratz to Phil Wizard.
it's cool that they seem to be amazed at each other every time the opposite made moves
1:02 hahahah, this moment cracks me up, where Phil tries to make a backflip after Dany😂😂😂
If you're new to breakdancing culture you probably didn't know who would win this. If you're not... you knew Phill had won before even dancing
Wdym?
To be fair, I'd say Danny Dan vs Hong10 was the hypest battle of BC One last year, so it could have gone either way
I know almost nothing about breakdancing but I *loved* watching it at the olympics! Can you please explain how you knew Phil was gonna win? :o

Best Olympic event of Paris 2024 in my opinion!
The energy live was unreal
Dunno if that deserves to be an Olympic sport, but it is definitely entertaining.
Atleast it has real humans doing athletic things, unlike the well-established horse dancing event.
@@LockieezI'd be happy with both this and dressage never appearing at another Olympics.
No more or less than figure skating.
why not, they sweat a lot! i mean this is definately a sport!
They did show athleticism, no doubt. But I'm always wary of judged sports as opposed to scored ones because of the potential for controversy.
Did I miss the sprinkler move?? 😂😂
Because Raygun, I watch this 😅 Breakdance is awesome, Incredible. This is not dance. This needs big energy, big talent, this is a sport.
Both were great. Props
Phil moves were innovative. Some of them i never see them before. Also phil make the stop in sync with the music.
That fake walk while standing on one hand, and that handstand while feet being curved, outstanding performance
yeah but have u seen kangaroo hops,wipe the floor move and taming the cobra?
been a fan of wizard since 2010 when I started breaking in high school. super surreal to see breaking in the olympics after all these years.
Respect the breakdancers in the video guys, don't talk about other people who aren't even in the video
This was fire...glad they added it to the Olympics, I enjoyed this (breaking) and basketball the most.
