Lithuanian teenager Dominika Banevič and American Victor Montalvo both qualified for next year's Paris Olympics after winning the World Breaking Championship on Sunday in Leuven, Belgium.

The 16-year-old Banevič, known as B-girl Nicka, was the youngest in her category at the event in Leuven, Belgium. She concluded her battle by lifting herself up on her right arm and twisting her body almost completely around.

She drew finger-clicking appreciation from her beaten opponent, 40-year-old Ayumi Fukushima of Japan, known as B-girl Ayumi.

The 29-year-old Montalvo, ranked No. 5 in the world and competing under the name of B-boy Victor, broke into a huge grin after completing his battle.
