Chengdu, Sichuan Province—When the World Games’ breaking battles kick off this Saturday, all eyes will be on the Chinese captain, Shang Xiaoyu. He’s leading a squad that’s rewired its routines and mindset since last summer’s Paris Olympics debut.
“Breaking has been my passion since day one,” Shang says. “Now, at home in Sichuan, I’m unveiling a brand-new series of moves that blend power, style and storytelling.”
Shang credits the team’s growth to intense training camps and creative workshops that fused acrobatics with musicality. The crew approached obstacles—like breaking not being included in LA 2028—with fresh determination rather than doubt.
On the home turf of Sichuan, the captain is aiming for a flawless performance that resonates with local fans and catches the eye of an international audience hungry for the next big momentum in breaking.
With the support of a passionate crowd and a lineup of showstopping routines, this weekend promises to be a defining chapter for breaking on the world stage—one spin, pop and lock at a time.
