India wins first match in Breaking: A new sport has been introduced at the Paris Olympics 2024 that has caught everyone's attention. This dance-related game is called Breaking Competition. India had no representative in the Breaking Competition at the Paris 2024 Olympics, but the name 'India Naam India' certainly created a stir in the entire stadium. However, it was not an Indian athlete, but a Dutch sensation who surprised everyone with his art and won the first match.

In fact, 18-year-old b-girl India Sarjo from The Hague, Netherlands, has made her name in Olympic history as the first gold medalist in breaking. While breakers are usually known by pseudonyms or b-girl names, she chose to go by her real name. India is also the first breaker to win breaking at the Olympics.

Was attracted to breakdancing since childhood

Initially attracted to football, Sarjo had a keen interest in athletics since childhood. However, her path diverged when she discovered hip-hop. Bored with the genre, she became attracted to breakdancing. At just 10 years old, Sarjo won the Dutch national championships in the under-12 category. Her meteoric rise continued in 2022 as well. She won titles at the Dutch, European, and World Championships within six months. Her victories have not only brought glory to the Netherlands but also elevated the image of breakdancing on the global stage. She then entered the Olympics and finished fourth.

What is the new game breaking?

Breaking is a new sport in the Olympics. In this, players bend their bodies in different ways and fall, which attracts the audience. In this sport, players need to control their bodies and keep them balanced, which is very difficult. The International Olympic Committee has worked very hard to include breaking in the Olympics. They have worked for many years to develop this sport and include it in the Olympics.
