'Sky's the limit': Winnipeg's breaking community hopes to see sport grow with Olympic debut
CTV
With breaking set to make its Olympics debut at the 2024 Paris Games, the local breaking community hopes to see opportunities spin off to help the sport grow.
At eight years old, Nico Kalaheo Lopez has already been break dancing for half of his young life.
What does he love about it?
"Everything," he said.
Each Wednesday and Friday, Nico works on his top rocks and freezes through programming with the Manitoba Breaking Alliance.
He comes by his passion honestly. His father is b-boy Flexum Lopez - a coach with the alliance and a former world champion himself.
"He used to travel all around the world, but he had to give up because he had to be a dad, so he gave it up for us, so that's why I wanted to break dance like him and become a world champion like him," Nico said.
