India’s hopes of winning gold at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris have ended after Neeraj Chopra was forced to accept a silver medal in the javelin throw final. In the sport of breaking, however, ‘India’ has achieved a remarkable turn of events. The nation’s name resounded throughout the arena, but after the dust settled, an unexpected discovery was made. India did not send any athletes to compete in Breaking in the 2024 Summer Olympics. Rather, the ‘India’ B-girl who garnered media attention is actually 18-year-old India Sardjoe from Hague, Netherlands.
India’s B-girl at the Olympics in Paris

In the opening match of the women’s Breaking event, Dutch athlete ‘India’ defeated B-girl Talash, a member of the refugee team. After that, she was placed in Group A alongside athletes from Portugal, China, and the US.https://twitter.com/BharatAtOlympic/status/1821940121098166342

India Sardjoe would much rather go by her real name as her stage name than most other b-girls and b-boys. She created history by being the first person to ever win an Olympic breaking competition.

When Ms. India was younger, she played football first, then hip-hop, and finally breakdancing. She took home the Under 12 Dutch national championship at the tender age of ten. Then, in 2022, she went on to win the world, European, and Dutch titles in a matter of six months.

The mystery surrounding India’s involvement in breaking at the Olympics in Paris has now been cleared up; the nation fielded 117 athletes in a variety of sports and won six medals total—five bronze and one silver. The following nations competed in breaking at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris: China, Japan, France, Lithuania, and the United States.
