I'll make sure to watch this at the Olympics......."breaking" as in break dancing.....a 40 year old!!!!

At age 40, Japanese competitive breakdancer Ayumi Fukushima has been busting moves for longer than some of her rivals have been alive.

But the former kindergarten teacher won a qualifier in Shanghai and is in pole position for a prized spot at the Paris Olympics.

A repeat performance in Budapest next month would send her to this summer's Games as one of the favourites for gold.

Breakdancing, or "breaking" as the sport is officially called, will make its Olympic debut in the French capital.

"I'm old but I don't feel too much old," Fukushima told AFP in English after her victory in China at the weekend.

Fukushima has long been a trailblazer for "B-girls" -- women breakdancers -- in what has traditionally been a male-dominated scene.

In 2017 she became the first woman to compete at the Red Bull BC One World Finals.
