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.
If the Wild finally break through and win their first playoff series in a decade, Minnesota’s top line likely will be the reason. They were all over the Golden Knights through the first two games of their NHL Western Conference quarter-finals series, which was 1-1 going back to Minnesota for Game 3 today. The Wild tied the series with a 5-2 win on Tuesday. Matt Boldy had three goals and an assist in the first two games, while Kirill Kaprizov produced two goals and three assists. Joel Eriksson Ek, who centers the line, has yet to get on the scoresheet. “I think the biggest
From a commemorative jersey to a stadium in his name, Argentine soccer organizers are planning a slew of tributes to their late “Captain” Pope Francis, eulogized as the ultimate team player. Tributes to the Argentine pontiff, a lifelong lover of the game, who died on Monday at the age of 88, have been peppered with soccer metaphors in his homeland. “Francisco. What a player,” the Argentine Football Federation (AFA) said, describing the first pope from Latin America and the southern hemisphere as a generational talent who “never hogged the ball” and who showed the world “the importance of having an Argentine captain,
Noelvi Marte on Sunday had seven RBIs and hit his first career grand slam with a drive off infielder Jorge Mateo, while Austin Wynn had a career-high six RBIs as the Cincinnati Reds scored their most runs in 26 years in a 24-2 rout of the Baltimore Orioles. Marte finished with five hits, including his eighth-inning homer off Mateo. Wynn hit a three-run homer in the ninth off catcher Gary Sanchez. Cincinnati scored its most runs since a 24-12 win against the Colorado Rockies on May 19, 1999, and finished with 25 hits. Baltimore allowed its most runs since a 30-3 loss to
Arne Slot has denied that Darwin Nunez was dropped from Liverpool’s win against West Ham because of a training-ground row with a member of his coaching staff. The Liverpool head coach on Sunday last week said that Nunez was absent from the 2-1 victory at Anfield, having felt unwell during training the day before, although the striker sat behind the substitutes throughout the game. Speculation has been rife that the Uruguay international, whom Slot criticized for his work rate against Wolves and Aston Villa in February, was left out for disciplinary reasons. Asked on Friday to clarify the situation, Slot said: “He
