Seventeen-year-old Dominika Banevic, the rising star in the world of breaking, is gearing up for her debut at the Paris Olympics. Hailing from Lithuania, Banevic is poised to compete in the B-Girls breaking event and is considered one of the top contenders for the gold medal.
Banevic's journey into breaking began when she stumbled upon the sport while watching cartoons online. Her dedication and hard work paid off when she clinched the title of world champion by triumphing over a field of more than 90 other B-girls in Belgium in 2023.
Reflecting on her rapid rise in the sport, Banevic expressed her disbelief at how far she has come in just two years. Despite the challenges, she remained focused on her goal and put in the necessary effort to achieve success.
The weight of national expectations rests on Banevic's shoulders as she aims to make her country proud on the global stage in Paris. She is determined to live up to the faith that her fellow Lithuanians have placed in her.
