Team USA wants a gold medal in breaking at the 2024 Olympics "to put some of that shine back onto the community"..


 

Sunny Choi has received clear instructions from her fellow New Yorkers: 

Bring a gold medal home, to where her sport started. 

"I don't know how often people are like: 'You don't have a choice. Like, you've got to bring it home for New York,'" said the 35-year-old breaker, who was born in Tennessee but now lives in Queens.

 

Choi is one of four Team USA b-boys and b-girls, as competitors are known, competing at the 2024 Paris Olympics. At a news conference on Tuesday, all of them expressed their pride at being able to represent the roots of the sport, also known as breakdancing, in its Summer Games debut. 

 

"We try and pay respect to where we're coming from, where this dance comes from, and want to put some of that shine back onto the community as we go onto this on the big stage," said Choi.
