In pursuit of their 2024 Olympic dreams, our athletes embark on a reflective journey. Surrounded by the beauty of their homeland, their friends, family or community, they seek inspiration and purpose from the people and places that nurtured their passion. Along the way, they share their stories, mentor local youths and create a powerful ripple effect of motivation, leaving a lasting impact on the next generation.
Canadian Breaker Phil ‘Wizard’ Kim, who comes from a traditional Korean family, takes to the streets of Vancouver, where he remembers how he fell in love with breaking and recounts his relentless journey to do what he loves the most: to dance.

Spectacular! The persistence, determination, dedication, athleticism! Bravo Phil! And so glad your parents are 100% behind you. All the best! BRING HOME THE GOLD!

I landed here due to Raygun controversy, and analyzing it more deeply in details about the sport I got to see Phil story eventually. And now I applaud and cheer for this sport to stay in the Olympics, where before I was highly sceptical. There is battle! There is gymnastics! Referring looks really fair and thorough (Raygun example proves that)! This is serious stuff!

Imagine if he was from a earlier generation of korean. He'd definitely be in university and we would of never heard of Phil wizard. He would of been in the hospital after telling his dad university is like a prison and he would never been dancing outside at 9 to 11-12. But was that Canada looked like it was filmed in an asian country everyone was Asian only one white boy and he even said coz he was white

@lon9056 Ай бұрын

Japan has the largest music industry in the world, second only to the United States. They still consume CDs, something that Europeans have opted for in favour of streaming. Having more possibilities to generate a local industry with identity, it is easier to go abroad and have your country contain you with brands, such as Mercedes Benz, Red Bull. Similar to Korea, with series about Breaking coming up.

It's interesting, Vancouver doesn't have much of a black population or culture, but a very large Asian one. And then to see how they've appropriated what was originally a big thing in NYC among black hipsters is kind of cool. Not quite as jarring as hearing Indo-Canadians doing rap though. 😮 In any case these guys are the real deal. And I'm still seeing Phil Wizard's signs in front ot the local Safeway which is awesome!! Congratulations!
