Introduction:
No newspapers, no conferences and no
screaming fans.. The Netherlands now has a
new world champion but only a few people have
heard about it. The 19 years old Menno Gorp,
from Tilburg, managed to become the World
Champion of Breakdancing last sunday! Abroad
Menno is a true phenomenon, time for us to
meet up with Menno!
..Menno bboyin'..
Question: Doesn't it hurt?
Menno: No.. Your body gets used to it.
Male voice: He's a real talented guy! He has
only been breakdancing for 4.5 years,
starting on his attic. And now he is already
a World Champion! He managed to beat the
biggest names out of the International
Breakdance scene in London.
How come we didn't know about this?
Menno: The sport isn't mainstream, the people
who do this sport have their own ''world'',
so outsiders don't know much about it since
the sport isn't as big as; Soccer, Tennis,
Skating.
Male voice: And Menno is a bit modest, even
his own mother didn't know he became the
World Champion!
Menno's Mom: Well, he did say he had a very
important competition and he also sent me an
sms saying that he had won, but I didn't know
that it was about the title of World
Champion! He told me that after he got home.

Male voice: Menno's bboy-friends knew that he
would get far.
Robin: He is truelly one of our best.
Skaffa: He trains hard, everyday.. together
with us.. and we knew he would make it!
..menno on floor..
Xisco: It was a dream of all of us that one
of us would get this far.
Male voice: Menno is very famous In
breakdance-countries such as America, France
and England.
Menno: It feels really good, everyone knows
who you are. Also in The Netherlands, when
you are at battles, they all know who you
are, so it's mainly bboy's who visit
battles/competitions.. and they all know you.
Female voice: Do you ever get recognised on
the streets?
Menno: A laughing No as answer!
Male Voice: This will change now that he
holds the title of Champion of the World!
Even the Russian States Circus asked if he
wanted to join them!
I am sure we will hear more of Menno, in the
future!
