Nicka's attitude was golden all throughout the battle. She looked like she was having the time of her life and she even celebrated her opponent's win. Kudos to her.
She proved she is a true athlete. Even thou she lost the match, she is still 2e, which is not something to be sad/scoffed about. Its still a great achievement! Respect to both, they did great!
Damn, so many Nicka supporters here, no one talks about Ami. I think people enjoy power moves more, but watching Ami here is like watching water flowing; her moves are just soooo smooth. She didn't do many power moves so it doesn't look as impressive, but in round 1 and 3, there are points where she was completely with the music. It just shows that she's not just doing her set. It was a close match 🎉🎉🎉
Exactly what I was thinking too. Nicka is obviously super talented and impressive to watch but even I, who doesn't know much about breaking managed to spot one mistake from her in the first round. Ami was really mesmerizing to watch, I cannot imagine how much work you have to put into for dancing so precise while also going with the flow of the songs.

Both of them are just amazing Break Dancers ! But B Girl Nika had som incredible moves I have not seen from anyone else in the tournament... I dig her vibe !

Final freeze pose. This is important in breakdance. To end dance, she should stop a while in the uncomfortable pose for few seconds. She did not have control on it. I amaze that she went to final as she lacked this factor. She even recognized it.
It is something that happens on competitions out of the olympics too, very often the more technicle breakdancer loses because of the other factors. First of all, it is breakdancing and by dancing it means you need to follow the rythm. Nicka didn't managed to do that good freezes and she was missing the rythm a lot compared to Ami. However, she is only 17 and I can't wait to see the next world championship, because the b-girls started to rock really hard core in the last 10 years.
Nicka is so natural and when she is performing it flows and it looks like she is really enjoying what she is doing and she also has that ‘break dance’ spirit, also watching her dancing is so enternaiting that I think what break dance is about, she also builds connection with the crowd, she is the winner in my eyes
what do you mean ? I found her dance moves , warming up to the break dance moves were awkward and not flowing like she didnt know what to do . Its like seeing me being forced to dance and let me tell you i dont dance
@@gitnjur I made no comment or references to be presumed anything racial biased, your comment is disgraceful to people who actually are experiencing racism and there is really no need for this
Ami has a great flow and her moves actually align the with the music. The other candidate is doing great individual moves, but I don't like her transitions between those moves
At least this is a sport that anyone can participate compared to this rich countries sports such as cycling, sailing, horse riding etc. So stop the hate.
Or golf. Why is golf in the olympics? Yes, it's about technique, but so is pottery and s3x, and at least those two also require creativity and stamina. Other than good technique you only need lots of money and free time to get good at golf. How is that an Olympic competition?

Breaking is usually decided on orginality, musicality, control, power, stamina and technique. Nicka had alot of good moves but she didn't control it perfectly and even crashed a few times while being clearly gassed out at the end. Ami on the other hand pretty much did everything perfectly all the way through. I personally like Ami's get-downs way more as well while also thinking that she uses the space in her top-rock better as well. She was just cleaner and stronger
I loved them both, but Ami won it. Nicka did spectacle that I loved to watch every second of. Ami on other hand followed the music better, did better freezes and finishing moves, seems like she took in mind the scoring system for her performance.
As an observer, how the f do you even score this? "she twisted 2 more seconds then the other"? "She touched her foot when she did a tripple something something"?
She showed harder techniques, that is true, but how did you came up with the thing that Nicka was more in sync with the music, I can't get where this came from...
Loved both of them, but I’ll have to disagree with my fellow commenters here, liked Ami’s performance better! To me it really felt like she was feeling the song, had seamless moves, feathery even, was creative… props to Nicka, but I think Ami deserved the gold medal here.
Yeah, I feel she was more in sync with the music, and while her moves where a little less big and flashy they felt more intricate and technical. So a deserved win in my books.
As a breakdancer in the zeros and avid watcher of dance, I think Nicka had it just for me because of her musicality. Ami had the bigger moves but couldn't connect them. Both their freeze games werent very on point. But I just absolutely loved Nicka's energy and top-rock flow. Great battle!
Nicka was better and should have won. I feel like Japan mostly used the legs, while Nicka did more advanced stuff wising her arms more. In the 80's I was a teenager and Nicka had fmore of the old vibe and did more variations.
@@pingwinner_ unfortunately when both are very good you have to pick them apart on technicalities like this. I liked Nicka more too, but you can't really score objectively on "who looks cooler". I also feel like Nicka tired herself more by being a bit more extra with her moves, which is very cool to watch but makes her sloppy when finishing up her round. at the end of the day though they were both amazing and neither lost, one won the silver, one won the gold. each one of them brought their countries a medal

Far from that. She repeated a lot of things and her sets weren‘t clean. Ami on the other hand danced to the music, was extremely clean as always and made the more difficult power moves
Nicka 🇱🇹 got robbed. Japanese judge gave all 3 points to AMI (obviously). How about next time NOT LETTING A JUDGE VOTE WHEN THEIR FRIEND IS COMPETING FOR THE GOLD???
Flicking through the Olympic program last night, I came across the B-Girl competition. I know absolutely nothing about breaking, but I was mesmerised!! These girls were stunning & the music was mega! Well done Ami ❤
I'm no expert on break dance, but can anyone explain to me how the Japanese girl won this? The Lithuanian girl seemed to me t the better one in every aspect. Her moves were spectacular.
Lithuanian girl had really slow first 2 outs. She didn't have as good flow as Japanese girl had. You cannot have bad flow, 0 explosivnes and expect that 1 powermove will win you battle. This was clear win for japan. You will see man's battles where everyone is explosive, have sick flow and does cool powermoves. Then there is problem who is really better.
I'm not a b-boy, but I am an enthusiast with experience in other dance styles. So, this is just my humble take: Bigger moves are not necessarily harder. They might look impressive from the outside, but they aren't always the most technical. I think the Japanese competitor was more technical and precise. This is especially evident in how she transitions from move to move. Those transitions are incredibly complex to pull off while keeping them in time, and she executed them perfectly. On top of that, she had all the best finishing poses, which is a very important element of breakdancing. The Lithuanian competitor didn't seem to pay as much attention to her finishers, and that definitely hurt her final score. All things considered, I think they are both amazing, and I wouldn't have been upset if the Lithuanian had won. I think it was close, but I understand why the Japanese competitor scored higher. The thing with events like this is that taste matters. It's not cut and dry like a 100m race, where whoever gets to the finish line first wins. Breakdancing is more of an art form than a sport, and you can't really quantify aesthetics with a point system. Subjectivity matters.
@@domagojklupac4873 i mean moves that japanese did in 3rd round is like smth you would see in regular school.. her whole flow was that she's pretty that's it.. far far lower difficulty.. to let same country people judge is beyond degeneration.. and your 2digit iq argument about flow is beyond me.. did you watch 1sr round and think that japan did better also? don't be pathetic.. she looked like a rug..
I know nothing about breakdancing but when I think about breakdancing spinning on the head always comes to my mind and Nicka did more of these "typical" moves I have no clue how it works with points but imo Nicka did a better job
A Japanese judge giving all the points to a Japanese participant. Impartiality and fairness at its best! Nevertheless, both participants were awesome. I hope to see break dance in the future Olympics too.
unexpectedly starting balling crying at the end there..! How far women have come in the last 128 years... from not being allowed to take part in the olympics, not encouraged to take part in sport generally, encouraged into very rigid, servile lives... to now... where beautiful young women can express themselves as their exuberant, athletic, individual selves... and be applauded and celebrated by large audiences ❤
They were bigger for sure but they weren't more complex. The gold medalists transitions and musicality were exceptional, and she made some really difficult things look effortless, but that doesn't mean they were.
@@artmaknev3738 There are Olympic sports that have acquired movements from breakdancing. So the amount of practice and sporting discipline necessary to consider it a sport is not debatable. On the other hand, evaluation criteria have been created, which is why it has been incorporated.
so many people saying nicka was better. i thought they were pretty close but i don't think nicka was better. bare in mind i have no knowledge on breakdancing
They're both great but I loved Ami dance moves much more, she made me naturally have a rythmic move to my body, I wanted to dance along with her. She made everything look so smooth and easy... Kudos to her 👏🏻
For anyone complaining about breaking being in the Olympics: What do you think of dressage? Shooting? Rhythmic gymnastics? Speed walking? Are people honestly evaluating the physicality of breaking, or is there some kind of bias going on? 🤔
Am I the only who thinks Japan was clearley better? Lithuanian Nicka needed two rounds to warm up and there were no eye-candy freezers from her site. However, I am no expert whatsoever.

Being 1e or 2e is so often just a small difference. Both did great and are deserving of an Olympic medal. I love that we have a new olympic game where everyone can shine, now waiting for the Olympic Breaking Youth :) Ive seen some pop off!!!
Breaking is usually decided on orginality, musicality, control, power, stamina and technique.

Girl from Lithuania against Japan in breakdancing should have won the gold medal, but took second place because there was a Japanese person on the jury, how is that possible?
@@OG.Gianiiithe only reason there are "experts" judging their performance is because this dance got popular and the only reason this dance got popular was because there were simple people like markycupko who said "that looks cool" and "that person has cooler moves than that other person" and so on Without people like markycupko, there would be no breakdancing, so by your comment, it's clear the person who knows nothing about breakdancing is actually you
No sport should make people hate each other, but yeah I totally agree with you, breakdancing brings a lot of good vibes, it's just impossible to hate anyone
Truth is that that breaking is a very competitive street dance, within the wider of culture of hip hop. As such, its history is full of rivalries - and understandably so, given that occasionally the whole purpose of each breaker or crew is to humiliate ("burn") their opponents and claim dominance. As years go by, breaking culture has become less aggressive, but this was not always the case.
Nicka gassed out, crashed a few moves and had less musicality while also not having as fluid get downs and perfect down rock as Ami. Judging points are usually: Technique, stamina, power, originality, musicality and attitude. Nicka might be more original but she fell short on pretty much all other points.
Damn, they are super talented, never in my wildest dream would have i thought there will be breakdancing at the olympics, but it's most welcome. Congratulations to the finalists!
Yeah and you don't understand about final freeze pose. Lithuanian did not have it. She can not end the moves well. This is the most important part in breakdance
Not something I'd usually watch but this was enjoyable. Japanese girl seemed to have smoother flow to the rhythm, perhaps her one color outfit enhanced the fluid movement look also.
Was skeptical at first. But I'm now persuaded. This was pretty damn entertaining. We accept artistic gymnastics and underwater dancing. So why not this ?
Nicka has the right vibe and energy when dancing. I saw many different moves. The Japanese girl did dance good, but I saw a lot of pausing as if she was trying not to mess up or fall. I know some of the pausing was part of dance but others looked like she was trying not to mess up.

I felt like the Lithuanian athlete's performance was more artistic and creative.
The Japanese looked way faster though.
Cant believe Australia lost..
I think it's understandable. Doing that routine upside down would have been very impressive but it's too bad gravity flips on this side of the world.
seems world's not ready for the academic breakdancing yet.
I can't believe break dancing is an Olympic sport.
SORRY, but Australian girl 🇦🇺 is too old for breaking 😢.

Nicka the Best!❤
As a neutral observer I also find, that Nicka had better and more sophisticated moves which were more in synch with the music.

@@domagojklupac4873 i mean moves that japanese did in 3rd round is like smth you would see in regular school.. her whole flow was that she's pretty that's it.. far far lower difficulty.. to let same country people judge is beyond degeneration.. and your 2digit iq argument about flow is beyond me.. did you watch 1sr round and think that japan did better also? don't be pathetic.. she looked like a rug..
@@gab_gallardwhat's a b-boy? Baby boy? 🤷🏻♀️
I know nothing about breakdancing but when I think about breakdancing spinning on the head always comes to my mind and Nicka did more of these "typical" moves I have no clue how it works with points but imo Nicka did a better job
A Japanese judge giving all the points to a Japanese participant. Impartiality and fairness at its best!
Nevertheless, both participants were awesome. I hope to see break dance in the future Olympics too.
It won't be until 2036 at the soonest apparently
Not true... Cry
@@user-bm9oh2ll4q its true
BotY - every year.
Triedžia Lietuviai internete, lol.
I am not an expert but Nicka deserved gold medal, I think
unexpectedly starting balling crying at the end there..! How far women have come in the last 128 years... from not being allowed to take part in the olympics, not encouraged to take part in sport generally, encouraged into very rigid, servile lives... to now... where beautiful young women can express themselves as their exuberant, athletic, individual selves... and be applauded and celebrated by large audiences ❤
Yes! And Nicka was showing so much good sportsmanship after wining silver, I teared up as well.
I am woman and I hate feminism. Respecting woman and giving rights doesn't mean we all want to be the same as men.
Stop yapping.
Get a grip, mate. It's break dancing - it's not even a proper sport.
The men in these comments 🤢. I had tears in my eyes too girl, they really looked like they enjoyed it 🥹
Ok wtf, LT girl should have won for sure
first time I saw breaking and this is absolutely incredible, the amount of talent, stamina and dedication is brutal, deserved to be a sport
It _is_ a sport. It also deserved to be Olympics sport but alas Olympics are governed by a bunch of morons
Ong
Oh I love how Nica feels the music on 4:02 ❤❤❤❤❤
Unfortunately my friend "feel" has nothing to do with the new world order
just happened to open my tv on right time and this was interesting😂 they were amazing!
Didn't know breaking was so cool 🔥. B-girl Nicka from Lithuania was better ❤🇱🇹 !
The girl in blue had 100 percent more difficult moves!!!! This is outrageous.
The ranking system isn't just about how difficult the moves are.
Мне одному показалось что у спортсменки Литвы трюки были намного сложнее и больше?
Yes you are alone on that.
@@mellowmonsoon278 кринж
They were bigger for sure but they weren't more complex. The gold medalists transitions and musicality were exceptional, and she made some really difficult things look effortless, but that doesn't mean they were.
@@GrandFew ok
@@GrandFew глупо вводить в программу ОИ вид спорта, который вообще непонятен человеку не из этой сферы!
Wow awesome! Both are winners in my eyes. The best Olympic games hands down.
The worst olympic games, but nice that breakdance is in it.
its a dance not a sport
@@artmaknev3738 There are Olympic sports that have acquired movements from breakdancing. So the amount of practice and sporting discipline necessary to consider it a sport is not debatable.
On the other hand, evaluation criteria have been created, which is why it has been incorporated.
@@LastZeroBThat's irrelevant. There's a lot of things that need discipline and practice and not are sports. Breakdance is a dance, not a sport.
@@user-jd8ow6cl2c Rhythmic gymnastics was introduced in 1984, and is also a dance, with equally valuable elements.
I love the music. Please do you know the name of tthe tracks?
so many people saying nicka was better. i thought they were pretty close but i don't think nicka was better. bare in mind i have no knowledge on breakdancing
They're both great but I loved Ami dance moves much more, she made me naturally have a rythmic move to my body, I wanted to dance along with her. She made everything look so smooth and easy... Kudos to her 👏🏻
Nicka was better for sure.
For anyone complaining about breaking being in the Olympics: What do you think of dressage? Shooting? Rhythmic gymnastics? Speed walking?
Are people honestly evaluating the physicality of breaking, or is there some kind of bias going on? 🤔
To all the haters claiming that nicka actually won, try to pay attention to how the moves fit with the music then youll understand why japan won.
Ah, the good old figure skating B rating, "emotional impression". We used to call that "scam".
@@nikr.5460 Ultimately breakdance remains a DANCE. It's not a scam to notice a lack of flow with the music in a DANCE routine.
I could watch this on repeat all day. Such talent.
The more I watch this... the more I like this. I can not imagine what kind of balance and flexibility this takes
You should watch the gymnastics then.
@@danielhanlon7498 Braking have a gyimnastics moves like one called Flare try search on wiki Flare (acrobatic move)
@@danielhanlon7498 I like gymnastics, I do. But I like the music and vibe of this better. The style here is really a lot of fun
@@braddrummonds7389 shame it's not a sport.
@@danielhanlon7498 now it is :) just accept that youre old
Am I the only who thinks Japan was clearley better? Lithuanian Nicka needed two rounds to warm up and there were no eye-candy freezers from her site. However, I am no expert whatsoever.
They both did fantastic, Ami deserves that gold!
Go Ami! She's proved herself as the best bi-girl many times.
watching breakdance for years, the judge scoring is wack corrupted never fair
This, there should be something done about this especially when this is an olympic sport now. Judging has always been corrupt.
Final freeze pose. This is important in breakdance. To end dance, Nicka should stop a while in the uncomfortable pose for few seconds. She did not have control on it. I amaze that she went to final as she lacked this factor. She even recognized it.

is this a mating dance competition for asian/european girls to attract african american men?
@@The1andOnlyMadvibez no way this is ever coming back to olympia haha.
Nika was incredible. Gold is hers no doubt.
Lithuania was more better!!!
the most gooder, no doubt
A lot better@@sunsunsunh
No final freeze pose. She knows that she is going to lose. The final freeze pose is how you end the dance.
More better or maybe more best 😂
It was lesser best.
wow that was amazing but guys nika was not better. damn you blind? lego amiiii
Ok, I can now see why this is in the Olympics. Both of them were 🔥 🔥 🔥
I disagree i personally find the japanese girl to be a right winner
As does everyone who knows breakdancing.
Ami's got insane flow, whatchyall talking about
Nicka is our Champ 🇱🇹🥇🏆
This not only a competition, but also a celebration and a party!
Being 1e or 2e is so often just a small difference. Both did great and are deserving of an Olympic medal.
I love that we have a new olympic game where everyone can shine, now waiting for the Olympic Breaking Youth :) Ive seen some pop off!!!
Impressive and sympathetic Athletes 🔥Congratulations 🥇🥈🥉👏👏👏
Breakdance is finally Olympic🎉
Nice. I hope they will keep this competition in next Olympics.
that nicka went crazy on the dancefloor bruh
my nicka won this gold medal for real
shes th realest nicka 😂
Nicki's moves looked way better, how did she lose?
Referee was from Japan, that answers all.
@@juozasaleknavicius7928 nenusišnekėk
@@juozasaleknavicius7928it’s all about the music timing with her routine
@@juozasaleknavicius7928 They weren't even in the same league wdym, stop crying.
Breaking is usually decided on orginality, musicality, control, power, stamina and technique. Nicka had alot of good moves but she didn't control it perfectly and even crashed a few times while being clearly gassed out at the end. Ami on the other hand pretty much did everything perfectly all the way through.
I personally like Ami's get-downs way more as well while also thinking that she uses the space in her top-rock better as well. She was just cleaner and stronger
Girl from Lithuania against Japan in breakdancing should have won the gold medal, but took second place because there was a Japanese person on the jury, how is that possible?
On the other sports there are like 99% white judges who judge White people, your point?
Sorry but Lithuanian girl was better.
I don’t think you know anything about breaking then.
i was a breakdancer in the 80s, i think you're right. im also asian but my vote is for lithuania
@@OG.Gianiiithe only reason there are "experts" judging their performance is because this dance got popular and the only reason this dance got popular was because there were simple people like markycupko who said "that looks cool" and "that person has cooler moves than that other person" and so on
Without people like markycupko, there would be no breakdancing, so by your comment, it's clear the person who knows nothing about breakdancing is actually you
@@odhie2670 cool story bro
Nika was better
Nicka was the best❤❤❤
This is a harmless and peaceful sport. I love it!
Other sports make people hate each other too much sometimes.
true
No sport should make people hate each other, but yeah I totally agree with you, breakdancing brings a lot of good vibes, it's just impossible to hate anyone
Its about people they choose it to be peaceful or not.
Truth is that that breaking is a very competitive street dance, within the wider of culture of hip hop. As such, its history is full of rivalries - and understandably so, given that occasionally the whole purpose of each breaker or crew is to humiliate ("burn") their opponents and claim dominance. As years go by, breaking culture has become less aggressive, but this was not always the case.
It's not a sport, it's dancing
Me and my daughter thought Nicka was better.... Than we saw the comment section. We were right!
japanese girl was a little bit better..
Nika is the winner
Never thought I'd see competitive breaking at an Olympics but I'm glad it's here...so much fun to watch
I find the Lithuanian girl did it better. What's the criteria?
Ami was better in flow
Nicka gassed out, crashed a few moves and had less musicality while also not having as fluid get downs and perfect down rock as Ami.
Judging points are usually: Technique, stamina, power, originality, musicality and attitude. Nicka might be more original but she fell short on pretty much all other points.
Damn, they are super talented, never in my wildest dream would have i thought there will be breakdancing at the olympics, but it's most welcome. Congratulations to the finalists!
The gold was robbed. Suprised that Japan won 😮
Yeah and you don't understand about final freeze pose. Lithuanian did not have it. She can not end the moves well. This is the most important part in breakdance
@@danggingno its not
@@dangging no it aint lmao
Raygun "B" like ... oh so THAT's dancing!
Nice girls,good dancers.
Not something I'd usually watch but this was enjoyable. Japanese girl seemed to have smoother flow to the rhythm, perhaps her one color outfit enhanced the fluid movement look also.
Wow. Freakin amazing, both of them. I would have leaned towards the Lithuanian too though
This is what sports is about. Mutual respect and support. This is it. ♥
Was skeptical at first. But I'm now persuaded. This was pretty damn entertaining. We accept artistic gymnastics and underwater dancing. So why not this ?
Im not sure about underwater dancing and the outfits of those breakdancers :D
This is exactly what I thought. Begun very skeptical but as you say, this is another way of gymnastics.
Nicka has the right vibe and energy when dancing. I saw many different moves.
The Japanese girl did dance good, but I saw a lot of pausing as if she was trying not to mess up or fall. I know some of the pausing was part of dance but others looked like she was trying not to mess up.
Probably my new favourite Olympic event !
Japanese judge? Seriously?
Final freeze pose. This is important in breakdance. To end dance, she should stop a while in the uncomfortable pose for few seconds. She did not have control on it. I amaze that she went to final as she lacked this factor. She even recognized it.
Changes nothing.
@@dangging The same comment goes over and over again. I think we have a bot here.
Or maybe he's just frustrated at how many people are baffled by the fact that they don't understand how breakdancing is scored, so he posts it under the top comments that cope at Japan taking gold @@gnybtas1
Was great! Great ATHLETES.
Lot of Energy and Creativity.
Definitely worth to be at the Olympics! 🥇🥈🥉
