Afghan breaker Talash wore a cape reading ‘Free Afghan Women’ Photo: John Walton/PA. 16-year-old Dutch B-girl India was the first breaker on the Olympic stage, throwing down a series of power moves to unanimously out-score Talash and advance to the competition proper. “I’m super-happy to be here, and I’m proud to be the first one,” said India, the 2022 world champion. It could be their only chance – breaking is not currently on the programme for the 2028 Los Angeles Games. “I’m super excited to be a part of bringing breaking to the world,” she said.
