In the early morning of August 10th, Beijing time, the Paris Olympic Games Breakdancing Women's Elimination Round kicked off at the famous Place de la Concorde. The audience packed the temporary sports park in the square to witness the birth of the first gold medal in breakdancing in Olympic history. Chinese player Liu Qingyi, who had the potential to win the gold medal, lost in the semifinals and finally won the bronze medal. Another Chinese player Zeng Yingying was eliminated in the quarterfinals. Japanese player Yuasa Ami won the gold medal.

Although it left a lot of regrets, Liu Qingyi's strong and domineering style, superb technical strength and improvised fancy moves conquered all the audience. The commentator of the competition also believed that Liu Qingyi's appearance directly changed the pattern of women's breakdancing events and raised the average difficulty level by 2-3 levels.

Liu Qingyi, born in 2005, is not yet 19 years old. She has defeated Yuasa Ami consecutively in the Hangzhou Asian Games and the Olympic qualifiers. In the future, she has enough time to break the dominance of Japanese players in this event.

The semi-final loss was somewhat "unexpected"
