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 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!!! 🔥🔥🫡
@@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).
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
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.
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.
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!
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
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😂
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...
Hands down phil wizard is the stronger dancer. He has so much flexibility to bend and curl, and then the strength he has is extraordinary; he did crazy kicks and wow the creativity. You can see at the end of the song that he finished it nicely with his arm in the air. Pure natural talent. If you want to get gold and be the best you have to go outside the square from the traditional 360 degree spins. I saw alot of that in Danny's routine. Clear winner goes to Phil.
Breaking is much more than a 1V1 session, if groups of 5 -10 breakers took part to represent their country perhaps this would of been the better approach as I have seen on BattleOfTheYear in europe. Would of been more entertaining to watch the choreography and technicalities combined as a performance. IOC should have changed it to that format.
So you are suggesting a team event of breaking at the Olympics, with crews competing using showcases like in BOTY, i love it. And that kind of competiton is very much like the concept of artistic swimming or artistic gymnastic, so it is totally realistic
@@nhatchau8343 I don't think it matters now any considering IOC have most likely decided to not bring Breaking to Los Angeles in 2028. If they chose to, Team based breaking would be epic. Check out Hong10 from South Korea. I'm surprised he didn't get a medal at Paris.

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
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.

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

Wow they're both crazy incredible
Very athletic, talented and artistic! Amazing.
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.

love the mutual respect, esp at: 1:04 and at 2:02
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.

Both breakers are on another level and really deserved their medals. Top notch job and amazing performance. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Respect the breakdancers in the video guys, don't talk about other people who aren't even in the video
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?
Best Olympic event of Paris 2024 in my opinion!
The energy live was unreal

Clearly she wasn't.

Superb both. Congratulations for Gold of 1st time B-Boy in Olympic.

Break dance requires elite athleteic ability
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.

I love the sportsmanship in this one
Did I miss the sprinkler move?? 😂😂
There is competition but above all, they have fun and the public loves it! 😊
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.
