B-Boy Menno, representing the Netherlands, said, “This win means a lot to me. It is the perfect closure for this year, I have been working very hard for it. The battles weren’t easy we only battled three rounds but my opponent Killa Kolya went all in. I’m very happy to take this title back home – it is dedicated to my next kid.”

B-Girl Kastet, representing Russia, added, “I didn’t think about the title. I thought about growing in my understanding of dance and hip hop culture. But when I got the title, I was very happy, and it’s great to take the belt. Dance will grow when you put in the hard work and know more about yourself.”

The World Final was held at the National Sports Club of India and was attended by thousands of spectators in one of the fastest growing hip hop scenes in the world. B-Boy Flying Machine from India who won a wild card entry directly into the top 16 lost his battle in the first round to B-Boy Robin from Ukraine.
