    • Abstract:
      Victor Montalvo, also known as B-Boy Victor, is a highly skilled breaker who has achieved great success in the world of competitive breaking. He has won numerous events and will be the first-ever Olympic breaking representative for the United States in the 2024 Paris Olympics. However, Montalvo, who will be 30 years old at the time, is concerned about competing against younger breakers. Despite these challenges, Montalvo is determined to train hard and make the most of his opportunity to win gold. The article also delves into the history and cultural significance of breaking as both an art form and a sport. [Extracted from the article]
