- Hong Kong’s B-Boy C Plus, B-Girl Lady Banan and B-Girl Lady Little score high enough in the preselection to battle in the round robin
- But the trio along with B-Boy Think all fail to reach the knockout stage after losing each round-robin battle
Hong Kong’s breakdancers were left to face some harsh truths as the city’s four entrants failed to reach the Asian Games’ knockout stage on Friday.
With the city’s men first to perform in the preselection, B-Boy C Plus (Sze Ka-yam) and B-Boy Think (Tsang Tsz-wa) hit the dance floor at Gongshu Canal Sports Park Gymnasium for breaking’s debut in Hangzhou.
B-Boy C Plus made his entrance first and managed to score 614.5 points to advance to the round robin, while B-Boy Think, ousted after preselection, scraped together 534.1 points to rank 18th out of 25.
Left alone to represent Hong Kong’s B-Boys, C Plus, ushered into Group C, battled B-Boy Lilma of Chinese Taipei, as well as Japanese duo B-Boy Issin and B-Boy Shigekix and lost to each opponent by a score of 14-4, 18-0, 18-0 after the nine judges put down their votes.
“I think I performed best at the preselection because I thew all my moves into it, and I was the most confident,” B-Boy C Plus told the Post.
“Despite the results, I still enjoyed this journey a lot … I was excited when I first stepped onto the stage with lots of spectators cheering, the atmosphere was really great.”
