In the gold medal battle, Emma danced off against Ram for the second time. Ram came out on top again, winning the battle 4-0.
Breaking is a new sport added to the Youth Olympic Games. Competitors are judged on five criteria: creativity, personality, technique, variety, performativity and musicality.
