"Phil Wizard"
Canadian Kim wins historic breaking gold
Philip Kim, also known as "Phil Wizard", is the first and, for the time being, only male Olympic breaking champion.
The 27-year-old world championship silver medallist from Canada beat France's Dany Dann 3:0 and a total of 23:4 jury points in the final of the Olympic breakdancing premiere on the Place de la Concorde in central Paris on Saturday. Bronze went to Victor Montalvo from the USA. Japan's Ami Yuasa had won gold in the women's event on Friday.
She and Kim will remain the only breakdancers to call themselves Olympic champions for at least eight years. In Los Angeles in four years' time, the dance sport that emerged from hip-hop culture will no longer be part of the Olympic program.
