Eleven Chinese rising stars to watch at Hangzhou Asian Games

Liu Qingyi (Breaking)

Ahead of its Olympic debut in Paris next year, breaking events will first become available to the Hangzhou public at the Asian Games this month.

Liu, who pocketed silver at the 2022 WDSF World Breaking Championships last October, continued her fine form with a resounding victory at the Breaking for Gold World Series 2023, the first Olympic points event in breakdancing this year.

The 17-year-old prodigy will be aiming for gold in Hangzhou, as the winners of the men's and women's events will each get a direct ticket to Paris 2024.
