Below are analyses of the best breakers globally, expert betting tips and odds.

Despite making its debut at the 2024 Paris Olympics and becoming the first dance competition to make the Olympics, the breakdancing sport is an already established sporting event that has gained global recognition since its inception. According to reports, the sport was created in the Bronx in the late 1970s but breaking started as competition in the 1990s. However, the IOC has already made it known that the competition will have 16 participants drawn from worldwide in the pre-Olympic games and other top breakdancing championships. The Battle of the Year, The Notorious IBE, the UK B-Boy Championships, Red Bull BC, and R-16 Korea, among others, are the major events for the breakdancing sport. However, the Red Bull BC One, which first started in 2004, is the sport’s most prestigious annual breaking championship.
Breaking debuted in the Summer Youth Olympic Games in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 2018. However, in the 2024 Sumer Olympics, it was announced that 9 judges would score each battle with 6 criteria considered. The criteria include creativity, personality, technique, variety, performativity, and musicality. Creativity and performativity carry 60% and personality, technique, variety, and musicality take the other 40% of the score per battle. Read more about the Breakdancing at the Olympics here.
Victor Leads the Race
According to bookmakers, Victor Montalvo leads the race for this year’s summer Olympics in Paris, and it is genuinely deserving, no disrespect to other breakers. Victor has been on the talking stage recently in the breakdancing world. He recently won the men’s title at the 2023 WDSF World Breaking Championships in Leuven, Belgium, ahead of close rival Philip Kim, and the win automatically gave him the ticket for this summer Olympics. In dancesport at the 2022 World Games in Birmingham, United States, at Sloss Furnaces, and the Legacy Arena, he won gold ahead of his compatriot, Jeffrey Mike Louis, who claimed the silver medal.
Victor started winning medals in breaking from age 21, and is currently a two-time Red Bull BC One World Champion. He is a core member of the Squadron crew, MF Kidz and the Red Bull BC One All-Stars. Phil Wizard is a close rival of Victor and he will surely give the American a run for his money. Phil Wizard is also one of the biggest names in the B-boying industry. The Canadian was the Undisputed World BBoy in 2018 and won the gold medal at the Pan American Games in November 2023. He has also won the men’s title at the 2022 WDSF World Breaking Championships and was a silver medal winner in 2021 and the recent championship in 2023.

Expert Betting Tips
The final of the breakdancing will likely be between B-boy Victor and B-boy Phil Wizard, and that will be a repeat of the WDSF World Breaking Championship 2023 in Leuven, Belgium. These two breakers have recently shown command and high mastery of the breaking game. However, with Victor’s rich historical and family background in breakdancing sports, Victor has paid all the dues to win the inaugural gold medal in Paris. He is the only individual to have won the Undisputed World BBoy Series more than once in history (2015 and 2017). Only Phil Wizard (2018) joined Victor as the recipient of the Undisputed World BBoy Series medal among all the breakers at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
OUR PREDICTION: Victor – Victor Montalvo (USA) to win
