On Friday, Ami, B-Girl, became the first ever gold medal winner in the Breaking competition in Olympic history.
Ami said after her victory: “I don’t want my life to change,” Ami told Olympics.com, after sweeping Nicka 3-0 to top the podium. “I mean it in a good way, but I don’t want to change much myself.
“I’m happy breaking will get more attention as a result but it’s not all about the winners in this sport. It so happens that I won today when everyone showed what they were made of. Another day, another time, things could have turned out entirely differently.
“I couldn’t be happier if people learn about the beauty of breaking - and not only about the gold medal.”
