More than 150 b-boys and b-girls from 66 countries will battle in front of 12 of the sport’s most respected figures who will score each athlete on six criteria: creativity, personality, technique, variety, performance and musicality.

The championship is also one of the qualifying events for the first World Urban Games in Budapest, Hungary in September 2019.
B-boys to watch are b-boy Bumblebee (RUS) and b-boy Shigekix (JPN), the gold and bronze medallists, respectively, at Buenos Aires 2018.

The b-girls to keep an eye on are Instagram sensation b-girl Logistx (USA), number five world-ranked b-girl Señorita Carlota (FRA), and Youth Olympic Games silver medallists b-girl Emma (CAN) and b-girl Lexy (ITA).
Breaking made its Olympic debut at the Youth Olympic Games Buenos Aires 2018 and is one of four sports being considered for the Olympic programme at the Olympic Games Paris 2024 along with skateboarding, sport climbing and surfing.
