The 2025 Red Bull BC One Cypher Taiwan, the country’s largest breaking qualifier, is set to take place in Taipei on April 12, featuring Olympian B-Boy “Quake” Sun Chen on the judging panel.
Sixteen B-boys and eight B-girls selected from 200 competitors in the preliminary rounds would battle at Legacy TERA in Nangang District for spots in the World Final in Tokyo in November.
Sun, the 2024 Outbreak Europe champion, would be joined on the judging panel by legendary South Korean B-Boy Hong10, a three-time world champion, and Japanese B-Boy Nicolas.

In an interview with the event organizer, Sun said he looks forward to seeing Taiwanese breakers push their limits as the star-studded judging panel makes the competition even more unpredictable.
Meanwhile, the 25-year-old said he has no plans to retire anytime soon.
“I want to keep dancing. Hopefully, I can achieve even better results on the international stage and earn another wild card,” he was quoted as saying.
Sun was Taiwan’s sole representative in breaking at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, where the sport made its Olympic debut.
Following the Olympics, he reached the final of The Notorious IBE before securing the Outbreak Europe 2024 championship for his first world-class title.
That victory ultimately earned him a wild-card entry to the Red Bull BC One World Final.
The Greek basketball league finals between Panathinaikos and Olympiakos were suspended by the government on Monday following on-court scuffles involving rival security teams.

If not, this year’s championship will be definitively canceled,” government spokesman Pavlos Marinakis said. “There can be no tolerance for such pathological phenomena of violence and delinquency.” In online posts, the owners of Panathinaikos and
Ryan Yarbrough picked up a dazzling World Series ring from his time with the Los Angeles Dodgers last season. Then he went out and beat them. The New York Yankees starter on Sunday pitched one-run ball over six innings, struck out a season-high five and blanked the Dodgers’ top four hitters in a 7-3 win. “I feel like I’m in a really good place right now and really trying to continue that,” Yarbrough said. “I’m having a lot of fun.” The 33-year-old left-hander made 44 relief appearances between the Dodgers and Blue Jays last season. The Dodgers designated him for assignment on July
The Crusaders yesterday produced a clinical performance in difficult conditions to beat the Queensland Reds 32-12 and claim home advantage in next week’s Super Rugby semi-finals. Lock Scott Barrett and prop Tamaiti Williams scored first-half tries to reward an outstanding performance from the Crusaders’ forwards in wet, slippery conditions and bitterly cold temperatures. Scrumhalf Noah Hotham defied the conditions in the second half to score a superb solo try and, after kicking a conversion and penalty to make the score 22-0 at the hour mark, flyhalf Rivez Reihana scored a try which took the game beyond the Reds. “Typical Christchurch weather, cold, wet
Spain starlets Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams dazzled on Thursday as La Roja beat France 5-4 in a thriller in Stuttgart, Germany, to set up a UEFA Nations League final with Portugal. Yamal bagged a brace, while Williams scored and provided an assist as the two wingers cut France’s makeshift defense to ribbons. Mikel Merino and Pedri were also on the score sheet for the UEFA Euro 2024 champions. Kylian Mbappe netted a second-half penalty, but Spain were 5-1 up and cruising, before Les Bleus suddenly woke up as their opponents took their foot off the pedal. France’s three late goals — a
