PARIS (AP) — Both American b-girls in the Olympics’ first breaking competition were eliminated in the first round, a blow to the country representing the birthplace of hip-hop and breaking culture in what could be the discipline’s only Games appearance. B-girl Logistx (legal name Logan Edra) and b-girl Sunny (Sunny Choi) both ranked in the top 12 internationally but came up short of the quarterfinals. Instead, eight b-girls representing the Netherlands, China, Lithuania, France, Japan and Ukraine advanced after round-robin battles trimmed the field from 16. Breaking was added as an Olympic sport for Paris, but it is not on the slate for Los Angeles in 2028.
