Sunny Choi was climbing the corporate ladder when she heard that breaking would be an event at the world’s biggest stage in sports. After years of upholding society’s standards of what a successful life looks like, the 35-year-old former high school gymnast knew she needed to take a chance on finding more joy and fulfillment from a sport built on creative spontaneity.

In this audio excerpt from our Nike On Air episode with Womanica, Sunny describes exactly what it feels like to be in the heat of a breaking battle — and why sometimes the best strategy is no strategy at all.
