‘I don’t think you could go into breaking without it being an obsession’

Breaking will make its Olympic debut at Paris 2024, and in the run up to the Games, 80 breakers will battle it out for just 14 spots in Paris.

The first of the events to decide the final 14 is in Shanghai in May, with the second event in Budapest in June.

If you don't know your '12-step' from your 'knee rock', then worry not, because Morocco’s B-Boy Tawfiq, and South Africa’s B-Girl Courtnae Paul told Sportsworld’s Delyth Lloyd about the sport and their ‘obsession’ to create history in Paris.
