Embraced as a pivotal endeavor within the Olympic Agenda 2020+5, this festival-like series unfurls in an electrifying ambiance against urban panoramas. With spotlight on sports such as Breaking, BMX freestyle, skateboarding, and sport climbing, athletes from diverse disciplines will gather for an exhilarating competition spanning four days. The fervor linked to these events is undeniable, evidenced by the Shanghai series slated for 16 to 19 May 2024 by the scenic Huangpu Riverside.

Moreover, it is crucial to mention that only two OQS stops will transpire. The second stop is confirmed for Budapest, from 20 to 23 June 2024.

A truly enchanting ambiance awaits!"

Breaking, enriched by its profound legacy and worldwide allure, is set to be a major attraction. 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."
