Break Free 06/01/2018

B-Boy Moy @ Little Shao Moises "Moy" Rivas and Anniina "AT" Tikka are the two Athlete Role Models appointed by the IOC. The organisers of the Buenos Aires 2018 YOG have recently talked to Moy about life, the hip hop culture and the Youth Olympic Games.

“Breaking is such a physically demanding dance! People forget the athleticism it requires.
