For our athletes, their path to Paris 2024 isn't merely a personal landmark but emblematic of Breaking's esteemed standing in the sporting universe. B-Boy Wing, also hailing from the Republic of Korea, resonates with this excitement, revealing, “The Olympic Qualifier Series, being the penultimate challenge before the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, promises fierce competition. But I am resolute to clinch my spot, for it promises an elevated performance sphere and a foretaste of the Olympic milieu. The intensity I anticipate there will be a precursor to what the Olympics hold."
