The historic 20th edition of the global one-on-one breaking competition, Red Bull BC One World Final, will take place in Paris on October 21 at Roland Garros. Following 60 qualifier events across 30 countries, the Red Bull BC One 2023 Paris World Final will see b-boys and b-girls from around the world battle against the best in breaking for the coveted title of World Champion.
The 2023 Red Bull BC One Paris World Final precedes breaking’s highly anticipated sporting debut at the 2024 Paris Games. Breakers around the world are actively training in hopes of representing their country. At the same time, 2023 is Hip Hop’s 50th Anniversary and breaking (obviously) is one of the culture's key elements.
Born on the streets of the Bronx, both Hip Hop and breaking have risen to worldwide recognition. Hip Hop music has also evolved into the biggest genre in the world.
Last year’s Red Bull BC One World Final took place in New York, honoring the origins of breaking and Hip Hop, with B-Boy Victor (USA) and B-Girl India (Netherlands) beating out the competition. Both historic wins, B-Boy Victor took the title for his second time and B-Girl India dethroned 2021 Red Bull BC One World Champion, Logistx, to become the youngest b-girl ever to hold the Red Bull BC One title.
Red Bull BC One All Star and Red Bull BC One 2022 World Champion, B-Boy Victor, has built a career as one the best breakers on the international scene over nearly two decades.
"Over the next year, it will be important—now more than ever—to uplift breakers and communities that have transformed this artform into an official sport," he said. "While breaking has come a long way, we must honor the pioneers who started the craft.”
