Phil Kim’s journey through the tourney was nothing short of brilliantly executed. Starting the day in Group B and Row 16, he came the ranks of 8 toppers of the last, illustrious seven battles of the month in knockout. His wins over the opponents of class losers, such as Shigekix from Japan, Lee from Netherland, were a showpiece of the Kim’s determination and tactical elegance.
For breaking, not only that it was an Olympic debut this year, but perhaps an absolute cornerstone. So, Kim’s gold is not only the celebration of the victory won by a hundred per cent through the unrivalled style of dance and the reality of the breaking art, but above all, it is a unique example that will be difficult to repeat. The Phil Wizard’s gold is a fairytale beam of breaking as a part of one of the most famous and respected events in the world, which opens up new perspectives for the activity while it also serves as an example for the newcomers in starting their breaking patches.
