MIAMI — When Logan “Logistx” Edra competes in the first ever “Breaking” competition at the 2024 Olympics at Paris, her friends and students from her studio at northwest Miami will not only watch her compete for a medal but also celebrate a street dance becoming part of the biggest athletic platform in the world.

“It’s not really about the gold medal,” the owner of BreakinMIA, at Hialeah Gardens, Florida, Sergio Eloy Garcia, tells the Sun. “It’s more about the credibility that comes with being accepted into that platform. Five years from now when we look back on this, we’ll say, ‘Did that really happen?’ This is a chance to show everybody where Breaking is at.”
