BreakingThe Olympics will feature four new events this year: skateboarding, sport climbing, surfing, and breaking. Victor Montalvo, 30, and Sunny Choi will be the first U.S. representatives in the latter.
Known as “B-Boy Victor,” Montalvo began learning the sport at age 6 with the help of his father and uncle. He is known for his signature move the “Supa Montalvo,” in which he drops to a crouch on one hand and performs 360-degree spins.
Because of his age, Montalvo believes this could be his only chance at gold. “The kids now are crazy,” he told Rolling Stone. “They’re like, flying. Incredible stamina. I’m not the same as when I was younger. I’m not as fast, as strong. Maybe more creative.”
