Breaking is set for its Olympic debut at next year's Games in the French capital, and the World Championships offered one of the 16 qualifying spots for the National Olympic Committees of the winners of the B-Boy and B-Girl competitions.

The B-Girl final on the Ladeuzeplein square featured the competition's youngest competitor in Lithuania's 14-year-old European champion Banevič, nicknamed Nicka, against the oldest breakdancer in Japan's Ayumi Fukushima, known as Ayumi.

Nicka took the final 2-1, and explained how she overcame her more experienced rival.

"Ayumi is of course more experienced than me, but when you walk on the stage, you forget about everything," she said.

"You forget how old you are, how much experience you have, you just go and do your best.

"So when I step up on the stage, I let go of all the thoughts and I thought, 'let’s go, I can do it'."

Sya Dembele of France, nicknamed Sissy, took bronze by beating Ukraine's Katya Pavlenko, known as Kate.

Japan's defending champion Ami Yuasa, nicknamed Ami, was knocked out in the round-of-16 round-robin at the expense of China's 671, whose real name is Liu Qingyi, and Ukraine's Anna Ponomarenko, known as Stefani.

In the B-Boy competition, Montalvo, known as Victor, beat Canada's defending champion Phil Wizard, whose real name is Philip Kim, 2-1 to seal the Paris 2024 quota place for the United States.

Bronze went to Japan's Shigeyuki Nakarai, nicknamed Shigekix, who recovered from a defeat to Phil Wizard in a repeat of last year's final to overcome Qi Xiangyu of China, known as Lithe-ing.

A single Olympic qualifying place is also available through the ongoing Asian Games in the Chinese city of Hangzhou and next month's Pan American Games in the Chilean capital Santiago, along with eight B-Boy and seven B-Girl places through the Olympic Qualifier Series and two universality places in both competitions.
