Olympic Breakdancing 2024 Results: Men's Breaking Medal Bracket Winners, Highlights

Andrew PetersAug 10, 2024

For the first time in Olympic history, a gold-medal winner has been named in breakdancing—or breaking, as it's referred to in Paris.

Canada B-boy Phil Wizard, whose legal name is Philip Kim, won the event's first-ever gold medal after the sport was introduced at this year's Olympics. Phil Wizard took down the hometown hero, Dany Dann, in Saturday's final to earn gold.

In the bronze-medal match, the United States' B-boy Victor, or Victor Montalvo, took down Japan's B-boy Shigekix of Japan to earn his first medal in the event.

Medal Winners

Gold: Phil Wizard

Silver: Dany Dann

Bronze: Victor Montalvo


Phil Wizard was dominant in his matchup with Danny Dann, sweeping all three rounds to earn 23 votes to Danny Dann's four. Phil Wizard was just as dominant in the semifinal, coasting past Japan's Shigekix with a sweep in their three rounds.

Phil Wizard has dominated the sport of break dancing over the last few years. He won the 2022 WDSF World Breaking Championships before earning another gold in 2023 at the WDSF Pan American Breaking Championship. Later that year, he won silver at the WDSF World Breaking Championships.

Now, he has another gold medal to add to his impressive resume.

It was a similarly dominant showing for B-Boy Victor in the bronze-medal matchup. The American swept Shigekix and earned 20 of the 27 possible votes to claim the medal.

While B-Boy Victor couldn't make his way to the final at this year's Olympics, he showed out for the United States after becoming the first American ever to qualify for the event.

The addition of breaking into the Olympics introduced many around the world to a fun and creative sport, and there was no lack of excitement throughout the tournament. While it won't be returning for the 2028 Olympics, it wouldn't be a surprise if breaking eventually made its way back into the games.
