"For me, when it come the first battle on the stage it was like I'm at practice, but it was a nice place for practice because no people, no crazy reaction. It kept my calm, because nobody cry to you 'Oh let's go!' and it was OK. And when I see my family, of course I was very happy to see them, because yes it's my family. They can't be with me, but they're with me on the screen. It was amazing, thank you for this opportunity.

STORY: Russia's B-Girl Kastet and B-Boy Shigekix of Japan were crowned the Red Bull BC One champions at the world finals in Salzburg on Saturday (November 28).
Kastet, a member of the 3:16 crew, won the breakdancing title for the second year in a row by beating Belgium's MadMax.
Shigekix, a member of the Red Bull BC One All Stars, became the youngest ever competitor to win the title at the age of 18 when he beat Russia's Alkolil.
The 17th edition of the Red Bull BC One invited 16 of the world's best breakers from 11 countries to take part in the competition at Salzburg's Hangar-7, which houses the Flying Bulls aircrafts as well as a collection of Formula One cars.
Breakdancing is scheduled to feature at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.
