Liu Qingyi (simplified Chinese: 刘清漪; traditional Chinese: 劉清漪; pinyin: Liú Qīngyī; born 19 October 2005),[1] also known as 671, is a Chinese breakdancer who represented China in the 2024 Summer Olympic Games,[2] and won the bronze medal in the B-Girls competition.[3]
Liu won gold at the 2022 Asian Games for women's breakdancing,[4] becoming the first Chinese breakdancer to be a medallist and qualifying for the 2024 Summer Olympics.[5] She won silver in the 2022 WDSF World Breaking Championships in South Korea.[2]
Her nickname 671 is because the numbers are pronounced similarly to her name in Chinese (Chinese: 六七一; pinyin: Liù qī yī).[2] Liu began breakdancing at ten years old.[4]
