Hey there, dance fans! 💃🕺
Meet Guo Pu, a super talented 16-year-old from the Chinese mainland, who just made history at the Asian Breaking Championships in Shanghai! 🏆✨
Also known as B-Girl Royal on stage, Guo Pu amazed everyone by winning two big titles over the weekend. She didn’t just win the youth competition; she also took home the gold in the adult division! How cool is that? 🙌
In the women’s semifinals, Guo faced her teammate Liu Qingyi, who is an Olympic bronze medalist. It was a tough battle, but Guo danced her heart out and moved on to the finals. There, she competed against Japan’s B-Girl Riko and showed off her awesome moves with style and confidence. 🥇
“I felt today’s battles were even tougher than yesterday,” Guo said. “But I danced for myself this time. I was relaxed, happy, and focused on expressing who I am.” 🌟
Her double victory has made her a rising star in the breaking world. We can’t wait to see more of her incredible performances on the international stage! 🌍
In the men’s competition, Japan’s B-Boy Shigekix lived up to expectations by winning the top prize. He faced strong challenges from amazing dancers like Qi Xiangyu (B-Boy Lithe-ing) and Wang Ruimiao (B-Boy MonkeyZ) from the Chinese mainland. The battles were intense and full of fantastic moves! 🤸♂️
B-Boy Shigekix praised his opponents and said, “Chinese B-Boys have improved tremendously in recent years. Competing with them pushes me as well—we are not only opponents but also collaborators who grow together through battle.” 🤝
Breaking (also known as breakdancing) will be featured in the upcoming Olympics, and with incredible dancers like Guo Pu, the future of this sport looks brighter than ever! Are you excited to see more breaking battles? Let us know! 🎤
