Olympic breaking champion Phil Wizard hasn’t stopped moving since Paris triumph
Philip Kim hasn’t really stopped moving since winning a gold medal in breaking at the Paris Olympics last summer.
Recent stops have included Los Angeles, Denver, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea and Turkey as well as events across Canada. On Saturday, he will be in Montreal for the Red Bull BC One National Final with the winner moving a step closer to representing Canada at the Red Bull BC One World Final in Tokyo.
“To be completely honest, it’s been non-stop since the Olympics,” Kim, known as B-Boy Phil Wizard when competing, said in an interview. “Obviously some time at home (in Vancouver) here and there but never more than a week.”
The 28-year-old estimates he has spent just seven or eight days at home this year.
