Montalvo held off one of his fiercest rivals, Canadian Phil Wizard, in the final to take the World Breaking Championship title late last month and become the first American to qualify for breaking at the Olympics. "Breaking is more mental than physical. "It doesn't matter how fast you are or how strong you are, you can have the craziest moves in the world, but that doesn't mean you're the best breaker in the world." I just make sure that I do add a little bit more of the physicality for it." Reporting by Amy Tennery in New York Editing by Toby DavisOur Standards: The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles.
