Plumber by day, breakdancer by night, Cheung Cheuk Man was disappointed to miss out on an Olympic berth when breaking makes its debut at the Paris Games, but the Hong Kong B-boy hopes to help develop the city’s next wave of talent in the dance sport. The 30-year-old, who is also known as ‘Ex,’ finished 52nd at the World DanceSport Federation Olympic qualification event in Hong Kong in December, and 130th globally, putting paid to his chances of performing on the biggest stage of all this summer.
“To be blunt, I’m getting older. If I were to push myself like I did in previous years, I might not even be able to. “I’m not saying I’ll stop dancing altogether, but maybe I’ll transition to the next stage, which is teaching and nurturing the next generation.” That next generation of talent may not get the chance to dance for Olympic gold, however. After being added to the Paris programme in 2020, breaking was dropped for the 2028 Games in Los Angeles.
