  • Olympic Goldrush - Episode 3
    Jul 7 2024

    In breaking it's all about the battle. But what does it feel like to battle? How do you mentally prepare for this?


    The process to qualify for the Olympic Games has been draining so far. Luckily, some of the breakers are getting support from coaches. But this support can also cause extra pressure and stress. Because there's a big difference between the freedom in breaking and the strict regulations in sports.

    In this episode we also hear how Vicky Bergmans experienced taking part in the Youth Olympics in 2018.

    Jul 7 2024

    In this episode we follow Lee, Lagaet and Tawfiq during the first Olympic Qualification Series in Shanghai.

    Who of them makes it all the way to the finals?


    These sports battles are very different from the cultural battles the breakers are used to. And mostly not in a good way. Why do they keep on pursuing this goal?

    How did breaking become an Olympic Sport anyway? And what is the judging system like that they've created for the Olympics?
